Today, finally started to write something for mobile platform, should have done this long time back.. buts its never too late right ???
Since heard a lot about Android platform, I decided to go for it.
The good thing is that the SDK is available for Windows platform (unlike for IPhone). I already had a small app in mind which helped me in making sure I learn something, if at all.
Did some research and found that Eclipse IDE is the recommended one with ADT plugin. The great thing was.. it was all free :)
Downloaded the latest 1.5 toolkit from Android and started reading the online help. Is it only me who thinks that Android help layout very closely resembles MSDN? Well, I hate that the help has little to no screenshots which I felt would be very useful especially to explain role of TextAttributes.
Having a past experience with Java, Applets, Layout managers, C#.. it wasnt too difficult to understand the structure of code.. and with the famous copy and paste.. I was off to a good start.
I currently have an app where it emits information stored in the resource file.. I have to build upon it to accept that information from the user, persist data in form of dictionary (in resource file) and fetch data from there.
