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/sessions.html

  • 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.

  • really nice video ! :)

see all

  • get the fundamentals first.... understand API's, packages, etc... in a programming class... then come here... make a couple of simple hello word apps first... then come here... the things he's explaining, you must have some understanding of Android programming... android.com

  • @krophiquon you don't really need a "setting up environment and working within the IDE"-guide with the outstanding documentation available in the android developers guide. developer.android.com/sdk/inst­alling.html

  • @powerhousephg If your just started with android, its not that important to understand every little facette of this video. I also assume you dont understand the few classes he does mention but it doesent matter. The basic concepts and models he explains are important.

  • @Appfyr what does that have to do with anything? i'm a developer, and i don't know everything, about everything. if you have to read a book before understanding a "beginner's guide", that would make the guide intermediate.

  • How should i come up using "undocumented Apis". If they arent documented i wouldnt even know how to use them :P

  • @powerhousephg Well, google io is mainly a developer conference. So what you expceted?

  • jesus christ. ever "beginner" android video "assumes that we already know android".  how do u go from a beginner video to developing apps? #thx4nothing

  • 00:08 good morning steve jobs :D
