I want to learn Android development and create mobile apps. What would be the recommended resources (There's too many on the web)?
Obviously http://developer.android.com/guide/index.html & http://developer.android.com/resources/index.html, this should be enough for starters.
If you really learn and exercise what's written there you'll have a very solid foundation. Many other pages might be good but that's where you should start because you'll always come back and learn something new.
As others suggested, http://developer.android.com/index.html should be the bible for learning android. Moreover, as the world of Android is too wide, I would suggest you to take up an idea (NO matter if it is very simple) and then try to search out blogs and tutorials on the particular features you want to implement in the same idea.
Even GitHub provides a lot of ready projects. clone them and try to understand the implementation by Googling the unknown packages and words.
This would give you a better learning experience.
Defiantly check out the blogs, they helped me so much! I also emailed the authors and they really provided great feedback. Also, when you have an app, ask your family and friends for advice! This blog helped me so much! http://www.droidnova.com/
Try Basic4Android, google it, i do not intend to spam. It will get you started with the OS and if you don't want to stay with basic go to java with knowledge.

This is kind of just a general question. I am relatively new to Android programming and I find myself constantly on the android tutorials to get help on topics I want. Consequently a lot of my code resembles such tutorials. Is it bad for me to publish these applications if they use the android code tailored to my needs?
Thanks for your help. I know these moral issues are kind of tough.
If you take refernce from other android code written and released by others, check the license for the code and according use it in your code and can publish your app. For example any code released under GPL license can we used directly.
There are very helpful Tutorials:
http://vogella.com
http://androidhive.com.info
Not really - the purpose of these tutorials are to help you get started on your application. They are meant to serve as templates. But if you are taking licensed code from somewhere then you might want to be extra careful. But as long as you are using tutorials as just a template for your application, you are fine.

I want to start with Android applications development.
I'm very familiar with Computer application languages (Mainly Java, C++, C#, C , Assembly, Php, but some more).
I'm here to request reference for online android development courses in video, such as this course.
Any additional Android course in this style, will be welcomed.
thanks in advance.
The best way is to go to this site and select Android link which is this and then select the book you want and copy the whole name of the book and go to google and type
thebookname ext:pdf
this will show the pdfs and download the original file.This will save your money and time because shipping takes time...
and believe me you will find 97% of the books listed on orielly...
and i think the books from oreilly are very good.
and for begining you should download this
I got started with the Android Cookbook, which is, by their byline "A Crowd-sourced Cookbook on Writing Great Android® Apps"
It has several tutorials that are explained quite well - always handy to refer to the Developers Guide or here (SO), just in case something is not clear.
I hope this helps.

I have 5 years experience in many programming languages and recently I've started making android apps. Windows' forms taught me nicely how to manage everything, so "pure programming" part is not hard. However, it's problem when it comes to animations because in that I have no experience, although I have some basic experience with Photoshop.
I was searching for how to start with animations, but what I usually find is some basic tutorial of how to flip text and I wouldn't like to have not-organized learning because it usually ends with many holes in knowledge.
So, could you recommend me some book or some series of tutorials to start animations with, which would give me better understanding of what's happening and how to make application full of graphical interaction?
Lars Vogen has an excellent tutorial. Also the official docs is a good place to look.
There is a similar post here as well which could help.
Another good resource is the samples which can be found in sdk\samples\{android-version}, look for apidemoes as it contains a bunch of simple examples to learn from.

Is there any good resource for getting started with iOS development if you're an Android developer?
I remember Microsoft had courses for Android developers to make them jump over to WP.
I'm looking for a similar thing (preferably in an online form) for iOS.
Thanks for any hints!
http://www.RayWenderlich.com has a wealth of iOS tutorials for beginners, experts, and programmers looking to pick up a new language.
This one in particular is written for someone who knows how to program but wants to learn Objective-C. https://www.raywenderlich.com/21320/objectively-speaking-a-crash-course-in-objective-c-ios6
Good Luck :) Welcome to the community.
Any of the apple developer tutorials are good for anyone jumping into iOS.
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/navigation/#section=Resource%20Types&topic=Guides
Standford's course is also very good. I'm following it right now and I highly recommend it.
https://itunes.apple.com/es/course/developing-ios-7-apps-for/id733644550
More info here: http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs193p

I'm a Flash developer looking to get into Android/iPhone game development.
Android is more important to me, because I don't have any iOS device to test on, and I don't really like apple either :P (could you blame a flash developer for that?)
What is a good game framework for developing android games? Multi-platform is always a huge bonus but not everything for me.
I've been looking at Rokon and it seems ok, but the tutorials/examples are a little sketchy.
You should also give AndEngine a shot.
This question on GameDev may provide some insight. :)
If you're familiar with Flash, you might want to look into Adobe AIR for Android.
Now cocos2dx is also great ,it is in c++ so it give the FPS also you can easily port to any other OS. It is also difficult to start, after learn it provide more promising then any other engine.

Thank you.
I like to use libGDX. Uses Java, documentation has gotten better, and quite a few games available for it.
