I have have sort of made my own path. I watched this video which is not exactly a tutorial but gave me some good comprehensive knowledge, there is a part 2 as well. http://marakana.com/forums/android/general/230.html http://marakana.com/forums/android/general/230.html Next I have been going through Hello, Android (Introducing Google’s Mobile Development Platform, 3rd Edition, by Ed Burnette) and will probably be doing the Apress Beginning Android book next. Also check out http://www.reddit.com/r/android http://www.reddit.com/r/android. Look on the sidebar as there are other subreddits of interest to you, especially http://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev http://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev. Finally there is a tutorial in the Google documentation. Best of luck!

  No problem, now that I am on lunch, I looked up a few others. Here is the Google guide I was talking about: http://developer.android.com/ http://developer.android.com/ here are some tutorials from there: http://developer.android.com/resources/index.html http://developer.android.com/resources/index.html They call these tutorials but you are really just copying and pasting but I bet you could reverse engineer simple apps from this starting point. http://developer.android.com/guide/tutorials/views/index.html http://developer.android.com/guide/tutorials/views/index.htm... Here are a couple tutorials, I have not reviewed them much so it is up to you to decide if they are any good: http://www.activefrequency.com/blog/2009/ground-up-android-getting-started-with-app-development/ http://www.activefrequency.com/blog/2009/ground-up-android-g... http://www.vogella.de/articles/Android/article.html http://www.vogella.de/articles/Android/article.html These guys talk about their experience in app development. http://www.kreci.net/ http://www.kreci.net/ http://www.bryandenny.com/index.php/2010/05/25/what-i-learned-from-writing-my-first-android-application/ http://www.bryandenny.com/index.php/2010/05/25/what-i-learne... Of course there is the App Inventor but when I did their tutorials I felt a little more like I was building a pre-fab kit rather than learning how to create: http://appinventor.googlelabs.com/about/ http://appinventor.googlelabs.com/about/

    Thanks again! What do you think of alternatives like appcelerator, or PhoneGap?
