Google I/O 2010 - A beginner's guide to Android

Android 101

Reto Meier

This session will introduce some of the basic concepts involved in Android development. Starting with an overview of the SDK APIs available to developers, we will work through some simple code examples that explore some of the more common user features including using sensors, maps, and geolocation.

For all I/O 2010 sessions, please go to http://code.google.com/events/io/2010...

    not really a beginner's guide. It seems like it's more "tips for good programming" for novice android developers. Was hoping for more info about actually 'Beginning' android development, ie: setting up the environment and working within the IDE to create a first application.

    To anyone looking to learn Android. Forget "Hello, World!" exercises. They teach you NOTHING. Instead, start building simple activities. I recommend the following books:

    1. Hello, Android: Introducing Google's Mobile Device Platform

    2. Android Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach

    3. Ivor Horton's Beginning Java

    He mentioned the "beginner's guide" is on developer.android.com.

    agreed, I am a beginner and while I can understand what he is "saying" I am a much harder time applying any of it. it is a bit misleading. What I think the title should read is, "A beginner's guide to Android who already has a programming background or is familiar with java."
