As the title says, is there anyone in here who has experience with it and is willingly to show me a bit of how it works and stuff?
I studided this last year. I am sorry but that was a long time ago apparently.At school we downloaded the original SDK which did gave us the option to make the game we made also for android... however, I switched to Netbeans and removed eclipse from my pc.
And right now, the links to the android SDK are changed to the Android Studio.
I will have to tell you what my lecturers told me. Read the tutorials. Google wants people to make apps for their system so they have written pretty extensive documentation on how to create activities, add views to them, include buttons and their handlers etc. They should still be relevant unless they migrated away from Java development. Mind you, after you read them you will still be quite confused as what to do.However, at this point I am just trying to get buttons work, open screens, create text fields and show images... stuff like that.
But even though I developed JAVA and C# mostly... only, I still dont know anything because it is not Swing that is used.
Instead, as you said, they use stuff from Google.
I still have nightmares from it.As to developing for Android in general - welcome to lots of XML + automatically generated hard coded strings + terrible APIs + Java syntax. In other words, the worst.
