Learning Java for Android
- Thread starter Mansnake
- Start date
I think google provides pretty good documentation on the android and a load of video's. You will also have to download the SDK and Eclipse IDE. Can you program in any language? As if you can't then jumping straight into trying to develop an app may be damn confusing...

If you are new to Java, read up on some Java tutorials first and familiarise yourself with Eclipse.
If you already know Java and Eclipse, then head over to the site that Tubzz has linked and read up on everything. There's a lot of read and take in, so it might take a few reads for it to sink in properly. Once you've done that, try and follow some tutorials on making a basic app.

I've just learnt java in my first year at uni. Yeah Bluej is definately a good place to start.
No problem
If you like the feel of BlueJ check out the book 'Objects First with Java'. It's evolved around BlueJ and was written by the same group that developed the IDE. Very nice introduction into OOP. I might be slightly bias as my OO lecturers wrote the book but it is well regarded in educational institutions. Good luck finding a free online version though!
