What It Takes To Develop An Android App (for Beginners Only) by appcypher: 7:20pm On May 16, 2016 |
Building an Android app comes down to two major skills: Java and Android. Java is the offical language of Android development, but it also encompasses learning XML for the design of the app, learning the concepts of Android, and using the concepts programmatically with Java. Once you learn Java and XML (XML is really easy to get used to, and you should learn the language as you program your app rather than learning it beforehand like you would with Java), you need to learn how to connect these two using Android principles. For a total beginner, I recommend learning Java. There are no shortcuts here, you just have to learn Java. You can start with YouTube tutorials to get the basic idea of how to install Eclipse (the Integrated Development Environment, or IDE, for Java) and the Java Development Kit (JDK). It also helps to get the basic idea of syntax behind Java concepts, such as for loops and if statements. But from then on, after you have learned the very basics, I highly recommend ditching the YouTube tutorials in favor of a book or a lecture series. YouTube tutorials very often do not give intuition behind important concepts, which I feel is 100% necessary if you wish to make an Android app. Using Google to search up any questions that you are stuck on will save a lot of time and stress. The top results will usually lead to Stack Overflow, but when Stack Overflow doesn't have an answer you can post your questions on /r/androiddev Subreddit. They are always there to help. So to wrap it up, here are the 5 basic things you need: 1. You need to learn Java, there is no way around it 2. Android part encompasses learning XML for the app design, understanding concepts of Android and using said concepts programmatically with Java 3. Beginners should probably use an IDE (I prefer Android Studio over Eclipse) 4. Building your first app is time-consuming: it won’t happen overnight. This is not a project for those looking for a fast result 5. When stuck on a problem (which will inevitably happen), turn to Stack Overflow. If no luck there, seek the Android Subreddit where there is a helpful community - learntocodewith.me PS: For your front-end or back-end Windows, Android, Linux and Mac app development, you can contact me at: appcypher@outlook.com 08108753144 My services are cheap. 1 Like |
