I found these 3 app on Play Store and want to base my learning course on what tehnology are they make.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.TreetopCrew.VirtualBeggar
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.outerminds.tubular
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.nanobit.cheftown
So my questions are how to make it and focus my learning on technologies they use. What frameworks is best to use and stuff like that.
I know to make basics app till now, with standard design and fuctionality, but want to learn more.
I know that the last one is little more complex, but I have a free time and want to learn, so any help will be appreciate.
Thx
I would suppose you received down votes as this is not really a question for stackoverflow. As commonsware stated, it is best practice to reach out to the developers and see if they are willing to divulge any info on what they used to develop their apps. As well there are multiple resources out there for starting game development in android. One that comes to my mind is XDA, but even just using google to dig around.
Here is a link to a game development thread on XDA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1753131
And here is a link to the development thead mentioned in XDA

Stackoverflow is more designed and targeted to specific code problems/questions. It is not meant for individuals to ask for "how do i make this" questions.
For reference, please see the link below on what should be asked here on Stackoverflow

I searched for this question here and there are lots of answers, but they are all outdated. I googled it and saw answers but I'm curious about your personal experience in learnin android development. So where do I need to start and what should I learn to become Junior Android Developer?
The first step should be learning Kotlin. For that, I'd recommend enroll the Kotlin Developer course on Jetbrains Academy
https://hyperskill.org
Then you can get a taste of android with this free course on Udacity.
https://www.udacity.com/course/developing-android-apps-with-kotlin--ud9012
The complete roadmap which you can follow
https://github.com/MindorksOpenSource/android-developer-roadmap
You'll find various tutorials on YouTube for every stage in this roadmap. You can even follow Google's Codelabs for various topics.
Think of building something like Instagram/Whatsapp clone. You'll learn a lot while building something on your own.

It's been around 1 month that I have started to work on Android to create an app, I understood the basics (Views, widgets, intent ...) and I use a lot developer.android.com to ancknowledge new things but when I try to do complex things, such as creating a camera preview inside my app, I feel like I am Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V the code that is provided without really understanding it. And most of the time my app crashes.
So, do you have any tips for me to make things easier ?
Decide what do you want to do. You said that you are building an app. That is a good thing. Many people do not realize that they cannot get to the finish line when they do not know where it is.
Find a good source of online video tutorials. Video tutorials are far more superior to written books if you have 2+ screens on your computer because you can watch the video and write the code at the same time. (I personaly like pluralsight if you are a student microsoft offers 6 months for free)
Choose 2-4 tutorials and finish them.
Start writing your own app.
If you do not know how to do something. Try to find it in the source code that you wrote in those tutorials.
If are not be able to find it there try to google the solution or ask some questions on stack overflow. People will most likely just give it a negative rating but ... you know who cares about them.
Repeat point 4,5 and 6.
If you have a bad feeling about quality of your source code watch more tutorials so that you can see how would other people solve your problems.
There are some valuable resources for learning android
I believe this course is a HUGE jumpstart, from Google employees:
http://Www.udacity.com/course/developing-android-apps--ud853
This site can also contain information that can help you:

and if you want to spend some bucks, check the Android Development Nanodegree:

I know how to design and develop android application which works offline.But now i want to move towards dynamic android app,which works totally online like facebook,quora,newshunt.Where should i start please give me a way.
Thanks
I personally am completely self-taught when it comes to android, and, well, its been a journey.
For me, a big turning point was
"http://www.androidhive.info/2012/05/how-to-connect-android-with-php-mysql/"
It really gives you a good idea of what it takes to create an app that is connected to the internet, and it isn't hard to implement yourself. Mind you, before, you were working with just android, but once you integrate network connectivity and a server backend, the levels of complexity multiply.
If you're a solo-developer, just getting started, the Google App Engine does a pretty good job of making everything very easy to use, so I might recommend that. It has a free trial of all their cloud services which is $300 for 2 months.

Amazon AWS also is attempting to create a similar system, but they are seemingly geared to more enterprise-level operations.

I'm a beginner in mobile app development. Am planning to develop an app related to social networking. Curious to understand the best possible resources to start with. I see some websites like apparchitect.com which help to create a mobile app easily. But I'm not able to figure out how the backend works. Can anyone guide me on how I can proceed with UI and the backend? Are there any tools or platforms available in cloud which will help me to quicken my mobile app development especially social networking apps?
This is a very broad question but i can understand it is difficult for beginners to approach as you don't know where to start, you can design user interface using google's IDE or eclipse, stick to that at least for the start before you move to advanced or custom UI design
for back-end there are many choices including but not limited to sql, sql lite, many other sql based products this list can get quite long, however i'd suggest parse.com it is easy to implement and reliable cloud based service or you could look at similar services usually they don't charge until your app gets to a certain request/traffic limit
if you can afford below sites offer good training content
https://teamtreehouse.com/home
http://www.pluralsight.com/
http://www.raywenderlich.com/category/android (paid plus free content)
Hope this helps !
That's a broad question. You can look at Android tutorials on teamtreehouse.com and look into using Parse.com for the backend. At least one of the teamtreehouse Android tutorials focuses on Parse.com, and another tutorial focuses on UI layout.

Is it advisable to start first from android pdf books instead of the developers website because the developer.android.com Android training because they seem to go way too fast for me to comprehend and I have java knowledge
I highly highly recommend this series: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE08A97D36D5A255F
The series will honestly teach you everything you need to know, and it's taught by a very knowledgeable person. Don't skip the first videos, they go by slowly, but help you comprehend the Android system.
If you have eclipse and do the android developer website tutorials. It should suffice. I don't think a book is necessary especially if you have knowledge of Java.
1. Watch the videos. 2. Go through the tutorials. 3. Get your fingers on the keyboard.
Those three steps in about a month period helped me release an app, and I had very little knowledge of Java.
As someone with a brief but ancient history with Java, reading O'Reilly's Programming Android cover to cover was great. It gives you a very solid overview of app life cycles and quite a few other extremely important and useful components of Android including SQLite, intents, etc. (many of the basics, nicely distilled in one place).
This is best book
Commonsware book
By Mark Murphy , you will also get a timely hour chat with Mark to solve your queries. This book also gets updated quickly so you won't be having an outdated version. By far best money spend on any book.
