    So I've been thinking about making a little app for Android. Basically a news-feed type thing. Nothing too complicated.

    Anyone know any good tutorials? Places to start?


    I'm not doing IOS though because I don't have an iPhone.

    There is a lot of information on http://developer.android.com/develop/index.html
    There is a tutorial how to set up Android Studio, which is the new standard IDE for Android, and under "Getting Started" you will find a lots of samples to go through.
    Additional there is a YouTube channel - called Android Developers if I remember correctly, where they publish small videos about things that are good to know.
    And - most importantly - there is a design guide under http://developer.android.com/design/index.html
    If you ever want to go public with your app, you should definitely read it, and at least try to follow it - not because it makes you app more successful, but because I hate it when people think they can publish apps that look like they are stuck in gingerbread times.

    Somewhat tempted to call it Gingerbread Times now. That'll be the code name. Like the Manhattan Project.

    We shall now refer to my app as "Gingerbread Times".
