Apps Soccer Team Selector

[MARCUSHBLADE87]

I'm new to this sort of thing... however I'm wanting to create an App to use for selecting and showing soccer team lineups for use at the weekends with my mates.

Basically, I want to be able to add players to some sort of database, and then when I come to select a player for a certain position, they will show up and be selectable. Once the teams have been selected, I'd like to be able to save the team as an image to share among my mates on facebook to show them what team they're playing on.

I've photoshopped a couple of images of what I'm trying to achieve.

The PLAYERS page features an ADD & EDIT button. The ADD button will take you to the screenshot attached, and the EDIT would allow you to remove players from the list/database.

I'm using Dreamweaver at the minute as I've used it abit before.

Really appreciate any help!

Great idea! What's your programming experience?

I've got very little programming experience, however I'd love to have a go at it!

I'm more interested in the design side of the app, but would definately have a go at trying to make it if it's straight forward enough!

Fair play! So what I can recommend is:

• Get a book on Java
• Get a book on Android. I used 'Hello Android', but it's more geared towards people with coding experience.
• Install Android Studio
• Set up some of the sample projects/tutorials and play around

There's a fair bit of reading, which might get a bit dry after a while. So I'd recommend doing the above in parallel, getting some hands on coding will probably motivate you more, and reinforce the theory.
The good thing is there is *tons* of information out there on the web in the form of tutorials, examples, documentation, and good old StackOverflow. So whatever you get stuck on, chances are someone has been there, and solved the problem.
Start with very simple apps, just to get the key concepts, and build up from there.

That's fantastic!

Really appreciate the help.

I've downloaded Android Studio, just having a play around now...
