ExperCore on Android 2.1

Post by Neo » Tue Jan 18, 2011 1:59 am

Hi guys

This is my first post from my new droid ePad. Android features are impressive.
The best thing about Android is, it is based on Linux and written in C (core), C++ (some third party libraries) & Java (UI).
I'm sure this is going to be the future mobile platform.
I hope to become droid ready soon and recommend you guys to do the same as well.......

There is a plugin that was developed for Eclipse called ADT Plugin. You can use the Android Emulator to test your code on PC. You need to install Android SDK first. I'll try to put up a complete how to article on this.

These will also help to get you started.

PS: Thanks to RKSK for encouraging me to add this ROBOT.LK mobile style.

Neo, is it possible to develop Andriod GUI apps using C++ ??
Yes, it is. Instead of SDK, you need to install NDK (Native Development Kit). Read What is the NDK?. Android itself is created using C/C++ so from the beginning I believed it should be possible to use C/C++ which has more control on hardware level over Java.

However, it seems the best choice is Java since there are tools we can quickly start such as the plugin to Eclipse and there are many people who use it.
