Android Application Development
Thursday, October 15th, 2009I have started meandering down the road toward being a proficient Android mobile application developer. I downloaded the SDK and Eclipse plugin last night and started working on a simple application. So far, I have figured out the basics of the XML-based layouts, alignment, styling, buttons, and event handling. I have even implemented some effects using timers. Nothing earth shattering so far, but it is definitely fun. As a seasoned Java developer, I am pleased with how quickly I have been able to pick up things. Some of the terminology is a little weird, but I am starting to find my way around things and feel productive already.
If you haven’t heard, T-Mobile is launching the Motorola Cliq this month, with pre-orders starting the 19th and deliveries beginning in early November!
