Apps Developing a flash light app

[Konzkript]

Hey all!

I have zero experience with app development but willing to learn!

Basically, I need to create a flash light app for my project and was hoping you guys could forward me to books/on-line resources that will help me achieve this.

Are there standard templates available? Is this type of app fairly simple?

Thanks,

Konzkripted

Well I used to be a programmer, and I have just started writing apps for android. It is fairly straight forward stuff though. A quick google search I came up with these for you.

But I am assuming you have not installed eclipse (Progy editor) etc

I have installed eclipse java, java 6 EE SDK and Android SDK manager.

Basically, I want to make an an app just like the default HTC flashlight, except I will change the image of the torch to something else and not have the other options such as auto flash and SOS.

I've moved this to the applications development forum as our devs hang out here.

Are pretty pictures and stuff are in the layout, of your project /res/main.xml is the place to go. The two tutorials will provide a basic layout, then just play with them.
