Apps How to make a simple app?

Hi,

A complete newbie person to programming on android (I'm a VBA person so I have an idea what I want to do, but not how).

Ran through a few Hello world examples on Eclipse on the pc - some worked, some didn't.

Saw on The Reg that there is a (basic) IDE for android on android (AIDE) which I have downloaded and followed some Hello world examples. They worked. :)


But now I would like to attempt a basic working app, so splash to main screen, pop up menu on the menu button and quit option.

AIDE doesn't provide the ability to create new xml files (yet?) but I can connect on the computer and add a file/copy the basic file for editting.

----
So my question :
is there a tutorial already on here or the web that covers this and explains what happens?
or, how do I get the code to jump from one layout to another, listen for the menu button and swap to that?
----

I did notice that the alert boxes when put one after the other didn't stop the code but produced two overlapping msgboxs - I'm guessing there is an option there somewhere... :)

Thanks in advance
