You can’t just sit down one day and decide that you are going to develop and app for Android. There are certain things you must do to prepare yourself, so here goes:

Learn How a Computer Works
This is one of these unavoidable steps because, let’s face it, if you are going to be developing apps, you need to have some idea of how a computer works. Now, you don’t need to know everything but you do need to know how the computer actually works, how a program works, what that program is made of and you need to understand some of the basic terminology used in the industry – bits, bytes, conditionals, loops, etc. So, your first step is to do a little research and familiarize yourself with these things.

One of the best things about Android development is that about everything you need is packaged up neatly into one SDK or Software Development Kit. Like other platforms, Android also comes with an optimized IDE – Integrated Development Environment so all you need to do is familiarize yourself with the methods and the tools that Android supplies you.

The most important thing, something that is very effective, is learning what you can about Android’s architecture. Each platform is different in the way it does things so you should get yourself up to scratch with the basics – it will help your efficiency and code writing in the future as well.

Finally, don’t forget that practice makes perfect. Nothing will improve your skills as much as doing as many projects as you possibly can.
Any time you want to learn something, set up a project and start looking at it in parts. That way you will learn more and you can apply to the project directly from the learning materials that are supplied for you. Not only will this give you a learning edge, it will also save you time.
