why you sef go dey compare them? Even Eclipse on pc isn't as good as Android Studio, much less AIDE a phone app.

Still it's good to know that one can learn the basics Android Development on phone. The op has good intentions. Appreciate it.

Hey guys,

So, not everyone can easily afford a laptop BUT that shouldn't stop you from doing something cool... Like becoming an android developer, building apps for fun and even earning extra cash while doing it.

I'm thinking of teaching guys (and ladies of course) who want to learn android development how to build apps using their android phone.

What do you guys think about this idea?
Indicate if you're interested and also follow this thread, we'll use it for planning.

I'm in bruh
It will be a great experience

Sure Android Studio should be better.

Not everyone has a PC. That's what this thread is for - those who want to learn but do not have a PC.

HOW OUR BUILDING TOOL - AIDE - WORKS
I believe by now you must have gotten the app we would be using to write and compile our codes. (If you've not, go to playstore, search and download AIDE)

Using AIDE and Building your first app
-- I'm explaining this with AIDE for android version 2.3. There might be little difference in AIDE for higher android versions just follow closely.
I would try and explain things in layman terms --

Building Your first app - Hello World

- Open the AIDE app.

- A pop up would appear with some lists.

- Select "Hello World" under 'Android App'.

The next screen that would pop up would show a form. This form has two fields - Name and PackageName.

* For this tutorial we would use......
Name: "MyFirstApp"
PackageName: com.learning.myfirstapp

After filling the form, click create.

**************************

The next screen that would appear is main.xml.

The main.xml is a layout file. Anything your eyes can see in an app - Text, Image, Button etc. - the code was written and saved in a layout file. A layout file is found is res/layout

Now click menu and select "Run".

Wait a while for it to finish compiling.

A pop up would appear asking you to install the app you just created.

There you go! Your first hello world app.

cheesy Chill we'll still get to the part where we'd build cool stuffs.

* Anatomy of Android Application *

There are few directories and files in the Android project you should be aware of their functions.

1
src
This contains the .java source files for your project. By default, it includes an MainActivity.java source file
having an activity class that runs when your app is launched using the app icon.
2
gen
This contains the .R file, a compiler-generated file that references (identifies) all the resources (.xml files, ids etc) found in your project. You should NEVER modify this file.
3
bin
This folder contains the Android package files .apk built by AIDE during the building process.
4
res/drawable-xxxx
This is a directory for drawable objects (images, app icons)
5
res/layout
This is a directory for files that define your app's user interface (anything your eyes can see on an app). By default, it includes an main.xml file.
6
res/values
This is a directory for other various XML files that contain a collection of resources, such as strings (texts) and colors definitions (color codes).
7
AndroidManifest.xml
This is the manifest file which describes the fundamental characteristics of the app and defines each of its
components.

As we progress i'll explain some of things this in detail

In the next update: We'll create a simple app that shows a toast notification when a button is clicked. What this means is i'll show you how to create a Button and respond to Button clicks.

Many?

Download the one named "Aide" with an Android icon and a blue bracket by the side.

Don't download the "Aide premium key".
