I time-lapsed a 6-hour day of my development process. From start to finish, I modify a basic panel class (from my previous work, but you can grab one from the lunar lander android example) into a puzzle game "Skillful Surround". This unedited view includes my development (and publishing) process warts and all, designing graphics, coding around bugs and limitations, researching problems on SE, etc. Enable annotations to see my running commentary. You can download Skillful Surround from the Android Market at https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hunterdavis.skillfullines

  • I recently got myself a Android so i got a few questions :D

    1. Is there any way of programming in C++ or any languages than Java?

    2. Should i bother looking for the thing in question 1? or just learn java.

    3. Is it possible to get self made apps to my own phone and try without an License with Android?

    Thanks alot!

    Subed!

  • @AkHolicful

    1. Yep, you can use the NDK and the NDK eclipse plugin to write C++ for Android, though honestly it will be a bit harder than just writing Java, which is very C-like and easy to pick up if you're comfortable with C++

    2. See above

    3. Sure, on your phone under settings->applications enable 'usb debugging for development'. Then when you plug your phone into your computer, it'll show up in your android debugging bridge (or a run target in eclipse). No license required. Good luck!

  • Once my app is made, and zipped, how do I get it onto the market? To be available to the masses?

  • @clubbinmag3 , check my website (hunter davis . com) . I did a self-publishing on Android Market walkthrough that you'll find helpful. Best!

  • Hey maylees,

    Not sure what you're referring to. The app's been up on the app store since the day I did this video. Done a few more games and such since then too (one a day).

  • Thanks!

see all
