I want to create an open source application for Android that will be available through a repository control version system. The problem is pretty fundamental, I need a tutorial that will cover the basics of licensing & how to properly maintain and create open source project (application).
First of all, find a proper license that suits for your needs.
Maybe you can begin with this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_license and then dig into the different Opensource licenses : there are a lot.
http://www.github.com is a good challenger to host opensource projects. The help is great if you need to learn Git.
You will be the owner of the project and you will be able to accept or refuse contributions. Later, you will be able to give more rights to trusted buddies that will help you building the software (because when success rise, you won't be able to handle all the submissions).
I suggest you create an empty project and pratice on it, alone.
You can delete it when you feel enough comfortable with the interface, actions to do, etc...
Do not start directly with your final project.
You will make mistakes, better to do them on a dummy project.
Good luck :)

I'm searching for tools that would allow me to index and navigate within AOSP source tree a little bit easier.
My team works mostly at the lower level (so C and C++), but we interface with Java quite a bit. Currently we use:
ack-grep,
ctags,
cscope.
Since we're building a whole platform, we're not limited to just our code, but sometimes also need to understand better what's happening inside Android.
I currently make an attempt to use OpenGrok -- indexing is far from being done and the log is already swollen from git warnings.
The tools we currently use are hardly a convenient way to navigate the code. I would like to reach out for Android hackers wisdom - how do you navigate the code?
For the Java part Android Code Search is quite a blast. Unfortunately, I think it's "online-only" And also, for the low-level (C/C++) stuff things need to evolve a bit.

Well i am trying to find a good software which helps me in coding. Hassle free and a bit helpy?
As of now eclipse is generally used by most of the people around the world. You can download the same either from eclipse official site and download the plugin for the same
Or you can use Android studio for the same. To do the same you can download it from the official android developers site https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html .
Do keep in mind that after some time, android studio may be used more by people as it is developed only for android development and also google is stopping to provide support for eclipse.
One more thing that, once you download the software, you will need to install sdk's for the api level for which you want to develop
All the support for development for android is available at the above mentioned link. Information about all the libraries are also available at the same. For more resources, you can always use youtube for the possible leacture series and also use stackoverflow and codata whenever you are stuck.

In my company we have started development in android application.
Our problem is there are multiple developers for same application and usually need to work on same files so it is really difficult to integrate work each one of us does. Also we are looking for versioning system also .
For php development we used VSS where on one file only developer can work which was fine but unable to use it for android since we moved to ubuntu and everyone is having their own eclipse setup.
Please suggest solution.
Thanks in advance.
So you are looking for a versionning control system. I recommend to use GIT, you can host the remote on github (as it's free for public repository), on bitbucket (for 5 users private repository) or on your own server with GitLab

I'm looking for a functional GUI testing tool for Android without the base of source code. Most things I found are JUnit testing frameworks that extend the ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2<Activity> from Android SDK.
But I look for a tool that provides f. exe. button clicks, enter String to txt fields and so on without knowing the Activity class name, package or further information.
Perfect would be something that finds Widgets on a already started Android app, can interact with it from an other application without the information I told above.
I was having a look at Robotium RC, but found no information, tutorials etc. just the JavaDoc and the .jar file.
edit: It should be open source
I think you should look at the standard monkeyrunner android tool. With the help of this tool you can start your application, emulate drag gestures, press on buttons, tap on the screen. To automate the process of creation of these scripts you can use monkeyrecorder.py script.
You can try bot-bot. Following is the link:
http://imaginea.github.com/bot-bot/
It can integrate itself with an apk. It works best if you have the source code of the app under test.

I am admittedly not experienced in developing for android. I am looking for some API that lets me browse the users files, without installing a separate app via intents. Right now I have found the OI File Manager, but that uses intents to get it's work done. Is there another file manager library available for me to use? Preferably one that is easy to set-up and use.
This is a late answer but I worked on creating an android file explorer recently. https://github.com/mburman/Android-File-Explore
Its really straightforward. Essentially its just 1 file that you would need to integrate into your application - doesn't use intents either.
Why don't you create your own filebrowser using this example?
OpenIntent's FileManager is in fact open source:
https://github.com/openintents/filemanager
It is licensed under Apache License, Version 2.0.
You can integrate its source code in your application.
