Started Android Development

Today I started learning Android development. I’ve decided to learn the native Java development instead of the AIR for Android way of developing, while I do plan to look at.

To get started I went through the Hello Android tutorial from the Android Developer site. Which is a simple tutorial that shows you how to install the Android SDK, the ADT plugin for Eclipse and what are the basic files of a Android application.

One thing I thought of while going through this tutorial, was how similar Flex and Android development are. Both use a XML based language to set out the views, and a scripting based language, which performs the functionality.

So I’m looking forward to getting more into Android over the next couple of weeks….
