I am interested in starting Mobile application Development.There are many suggestions on internet but,I wanted to have some starting guidelines from professional People out there like how they do it and what they use also
1.I want to develop Android Applications can you suggest me Simulator as well as good Starting Point(like links to tutorials)?
2.I have worked on c/c++/c# so is it going to be hard to learn Android?
I know this is a bit theoretical
question that may invoke long
discussions but i wanted to set
starting point not only for me but for
others who see this thread so that
they do not have to post question,Yet
get answer that how it is
professionally done
You need the android SDK (including emulator)
You should learn "android" as an operating system / middleware, but the applications are written in Java (using android SDK as well). The tutorials and documentation that are in the android developers' site are pretty good and will give you the basics, but you should learn Java in order to create applications on android.
Unlike other "Documentation sites", the android documentation is really really helpful and easy to understand for new-comers.
p.s. I am ignoring native code and C libraries in purpose.

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'm developing an application in Objective-C. Is there a way to translate Objective-C based source code into an Android based source code without developing an Android app from scratch?
I don't think so, usually people look at things like monotouch and phone gap before development time.
jumping languages and platforms like that would be very very tricky.
This might help: https://code.google.com/p/objc2j/
Converting the code perfectly would be near impossible, but this does exist.
Keep in mind though that Android is very different from iOS, and porting an app like this will almost definitely not work out for you.
It would be much more worthwhile to write it from scratch on Android if you are serious about having a market on the platform.

I'm quite new to the Android world, and, due to work needs, I'm trying to get in.
Whilst I'm not particularly afraid of the "thinking" code (i.e. Java), I'm a bit confused when developing the user interface.
Since I found that the simplest yet most effective way to learn something is copying from those who are the best, I'm wondering if there's some resource or something, out there, well done.
I mean: do you know some open source app, from which I can build my own knowledge about Android layouts? I wasn't able to do it on my own, even though I wondered quite a lot!
1) A good summary on everything UI design in Android can be found here.
2) The best place to get started is directly from the official website.
And here are relevant examples that are considered as good design in Android.

Is there any iOS Storyboard equivalent for Android development?
iOS Storyboard is fantastic that saves us a lot of time writing code. It is almost like a direct wireframe/prototype to final development too.
Anything on Android development which can perform the same?
UPDATE
Navigation Editor isn't available in Android Studio starting from
version 2.0. It was an experimental feature and we may re-visit it in
the future. Information on this page is left for archive purposes.
Android tools team just launched an early prototype of Navigation Editor for Android Applications, which they're planning to release next year
As of now, it'll be available to try/use in Android Studio.
Get all the information on Android tools website: http://tools.android.com/navigation-editor
Honestly I dont think there is. Although I am sure you can find tools to allow you to create the workflow between screens of your application.
