While many of our members are Android gurus, there are quite a few of us who yet have to take the plunge and get our hands dirty with Android development.
Marko Gargenta, who is responsible for Android training at Marakana (and happens to be my brother), offered to show us how to build a real-world (not HelloWorld) Android application from scratch in around two hours.
You can either sit back, relax, and enjoy the show... or you can take a more active role, and follow along, building your own version of the app. If you opt for the latter, you need to bring your own laptop - already configured with the Android SDK (including Eclipse)- though there may be some classroom workstations for our use.
For those of you that are already proficient with Android, you may still want to swing by, share your wisdom with the fellow attendees, and network with others in the Android community.
Marakana will provide drinks and pizzas for this event and we'll give a way some free Android books.
Because the space is limited, make sure you RSVP sooner... rather than later if you want to reserve your seat.
See you on Oct 8th.
I hope this talk will be youtube'd or ustreamed.
We will record this talk and post it to YouTube, and we'll look into streaming.
Does anyone have a recommended Android book that they particularly like?
Back in the day, I read the "Hello Android" by Ed Burnette, which I liked, but there are many others that are good. With that said, we'll be giving away some Android books at this meetup :-)
Many thanks for the presentation (and pizza).
I like the suggestion made about continuing these sorts of quick-hit courses, each with a different twist on developing Android apps (SQL tips, graphics and gaming, etc). If we walk through an application each meeting, with source code provided beforehand, I think it would go a long way.
A great hands-on course. Thanks, Marko!
There was a question about how to update Android devices to 1.6. If you've got an Android Dev Phone 1 or if you have an HTC Dream from Google I/O, you can get new images from: http://developer....
Click one of the images on the right side of the screen and then (try to) follow the (awfully written) instructions.
