Apps android app for beginers

[karthick10]

i am a college student and i know c and c++...is this enough to create android app? or i really need to start with java.....(i dont know java)

You have to know C++ and Java because android runs mostly something between C++ and Java!
But java is easy i learned it for like a month.

For an android app try making a simple hello world and then use dex2jar to convert tha jar to a apk.

at least thats what i did!
EDIT: i did it the first time and now i make calculators LOL

thanks friend...
what about java script,xml need to know this...

 

[meganukebmp]

well i dont know about java script but there are alot of XML files needed to create a app.
You dont need to learn XML but i recomend it if you want to make a decent app.

if you have problems google how to use the android SDK to create apps.

If you're super new to Android development, I'd learn Java and start with that. I'm pretty new also, I'm just finishing up my first app now. I've been fiddling with Android and Java for about a month now, but I also only knew C++ before this. Developing in C++ for Android just wasn't worth the effort in my case.

As for executing code in eclipse, I'm not positive what you mean by that, but maybe you need to set up an emulated device from the SDK Manager?

 

[karthick10]

i set my emulated device for my project...As a student my project was in c++ for this semester....i choose to develop app in android....i googled for how to run c++ code in eclipse i cant found any answer really helpful to me....i had installed what is said in android.com for eclipse installation...my question is apart from this, really i need to do anything to run c++ code in eclipse....

Hope this is helpful if you've not seen it before -

I expect that you have this, but just in case -

I've only used Eclipse for svn access and for building code, sorry, can't help with running from inside it.

Thread moved to the Application Development forum where it will be seen by more members interested in development. PM sent to OP to welcome and explain the move.

I got into Android development by jumping into the "getting started" and "training" documents. I hope these links can be of help to you.

thanks for all your replies @ardchoille,Earlymon and DrSuperSocks...... i read your's links sir but still i don't know how to run simple c++ code in android eclipse. No problems in running hellow world program in emulator(which was in android website)..when i tried to run hellow world in c++ and flashes the error "binary code not found" to my face....How to overcome this?

Check out the NativeActivity tutorial. There's also samples when you download NDK. NDK is the C++ toolkit for Android dev by the way.
