How can I learn how to use Eclipse?

Q. I want to make Android apps using Eclipse. This is my first coding I have ever done ever. I can make an app that only has text, but I eventually want to make one for my school. Is there a website or something that has a series of videos maybe to allow me to learn everything I need to know to make apps? Thanks!
I have everything downloaded like the JDK, the Android SDK and such. I just need to learn code.

Can I program an Android application without actually having an Android phone?

Q. Does the Android SDK contain anything to test your application on while developing an Android application (much like the iPhone does)?

I don't own a phone with Android (I actually have an iPhone...) but I would like to program some Android apps, without burning money on a phone. When it comes time to test my application on a live phone I have plenty of friends that would be willing to be guinea pigs.

A. Yes. The android SDK includes an emulator call AVD or Android Virtual Device. It is limited in some respects because it can't receive calls or be moved around for GPS testing, but for simple games and web-apps it's perfect for users who don't want to invest in a development phone.

Here's a website on how to use the AVD in the basic sense:
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/avd.html

However I recommend using the Eclipse Android Development Tool (ADT) plugin for all your work as the AVD launcher is built right into the normal launch system for Eclipse. Here's a page on how to install that:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html

Obviously you'll need to install Eclipse for Java Developers and the Android SDK first. If you haven't done that yet, here are the pages you need to get that done:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html

Can i use an android phone with 512mb RAM as an emulator for android apps?

Q. Since the emulator of android in eclipse that i tried previously is extremely slow even though I just created an hello world app, I guess I need to invest an android phone to speed up application debugging.
Will that amount of ram survive mobile application development? or it is not enough?
Thanks in advance.

A. Surely you can use 512 MB RAM phone as an emulator. The RAM is enough.

How do i make android apps and publish them to the android market?

Q. How do i code everything . I made a app with eclipse and SDK manager . But not sure what all the codes mean. I need help . Should i pay 25.00 to be allowed to publish to the market? . Also is it easier to use sites that generates apps so i wouldnt need to code? Im a newbie and im 15!

A. You're gonna have to learn to write code eventually. Your programs probably won't even be approved for the market if you didn't put any effort into them.

As for licensing, I don't know the specifics for Andriod, but normally it's around $100 a year.

I think you should learn to code for yourself instead of trying to publish other peoples work. It's immoral and you could end up with a law-suit on your hands.

What's the best way to learn to develop games for the Android platform?

Q. I'm a professional web programmer, but I've been developing games in Java and the XNA dev kit for the past couple of years. I'm interested in creating games for Android-powered mobile devices, but I have no experience with the platform.

I'm experienced in most standard web languages as well as Java, C#, ActionScript, and VB. What sort of learning curve can I expect to encounter learning to program for Android, and how would you recommend getting started?

A. you have a leap here since you experienced in developing games in java..

Get the SDK
I recommend you using Eclipse with the plugin for Android.

Learn the application architecture
http://code.google.com/android/intro/anatomy.html

Learn the activity lifecycle
http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/app/Activity.html#ActivityLifecycle

and you should find a good documentation here
http://code.google.com/android/index.html

anyway, if you have an advanced experience in game programming (any language) there is a good book for you called Pro Android Games
search it on amazon or download it online (with source code)

Best luck of you

Original Question

What does it take to make android apps for the android market?

Q. I'm a 16 year old boy who is interested and inspired by another kid who is 14 and made an iphone app. So far he has made millions on his apps. I wanna create some apps and I figured the android market would probably be easiest way. What does it take to develop apps. Also would it help if I had an android phone?

A. Before going further, please note that you'll have to pay 25USD for a Google developer account in order to publish apps for the Android Market. For the iPhone AppStore (iTunes), it's even more expensive, 99$ a year minimum I think.

Now for your question:

The most easy way to develop an Android app is through the Google (Android) AppInventor since you virtually "draw" the application and graphically organize its actions and the dependencies between the screens. It's kind of like in Visual Basic if you know that already. Anyway, even if you have no experience, AppInventor is really a good way to start, it includes an emulator, and it's free of course. However, in order to package it in an .apk (to run it on a phone) or to publish on the market, it's not a straightforward step but it's possible anyway through PhoneGap for instance.

Further step would be using JavaScript programming through a platform like Appcelerator Titanium. They have developed a bridge between JavaScript and both Obj-C (iOS: iPhone/iPad) and Java (Android). So the good thing, is once you compile the app, it's usable for both iPhone/iPad and Android phones/tablets. Titanium includes emulators for all those platforms. In addition, it allows to package even for MacOS X (Apple computers) but you have to pay something for Apple, again.

Unless you already know and master Java, in that case go directly with Eclipse IDE and hard code.

How do you add more items to the graphical layout palette in Eclipse for the Android?

Q. I am trying to make an app for the Droid on Eclipse but the default items in the palette are too generic. How do you add more so that I have more options for buttons, text, etc.? Is it a certain library? If so, can you give certain examples of libraries? Thanks.
