For those looking to get started

For anyone who is interested in creating applications for Android. This may be just for you and applies to both programmers and non-programmers a like.

• App Inventor for Android

 

I signed up for it last week, and havent heard anything back. How are they planning on distributing the app? I understand its beta, but is this limited to only "select, special" people they choose?

 

Nobody checks this section? Any idea how often Google opens the site up to certain people? (Would like to know if I got "accepted" or not)

 

I signed up last week, no word yet

 

No word here either.



Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but here is an option I came across on the web today. It's one still fitting for the title of this thread too!

From hackaday.com, a series for getting started on making an android app.

Android Development 101 ? A tutorial Series - Hack a Day

Android Development 101 ? Part 1:Hello World - Hack a Day

Android Development 101- Part 2:Graphical Elements - Hack a Day

 

And HAD also ran a story a few weeks back that suggested Android needed severe improvement for things like Folders which it has always had... The tutorials on googles site are better...

Developer Resources | Android Developers

 

No word here either:icon_eek:

 

I haven't heard anything either.. I wish they would hurry.. I wanna be first to market with my idea... I'm gonna be rich :icon_ banana: lmao

 

Ahh... that idea.

 

...promise it doesn't involve "Sexy Car Girls" or something.... then again... I.. could.. probably work that in... hmmmmm.. too bad I don't know any oriental women...

 

I got an invite 3-4 days ago...

Going to play with it when i get back

I hope I can get my idea out

I signed up for the app inventor. I do not know anything about developing apps. but I do have ideas that is sure to be useful.

Now to do some research on developing apps 101.

 

I received my invite last week haven't had a chance to play for more than a couple minutes

 

For those that already received their invites -- about how long ago did you sign up, and did you do anything special like indicate you were an educator that would be developing curriculum using the tool?

I think I signed up a week or two ago. I don't have any notion that I'll get access any time soon as the message I received upon signing up was:

 

I'm in (got my invite a week ago) & it is kinda cool. SUPER limited compared to the SDK, of course that is to be expected


I signed up whenever it was first announced
