Braving the sweltering Dilli heat of June, around a hundred odd developers gathered at the India Habitat Centre, New Delhi on June 16-17, 2012 – to code and contribute more effectively towards a social cause. These were a wide variety of people over the age of 15 to about 25. Developers were free to discuss, code and participate using whatever technology they were proficient in, with one condition – it ought to serve one critical aspect of society – education, health, information access, women security and disaster management. Uttam Tripathi, Program Manager, Developer Relations, Google India said during his opening note, there are various Google Developer Group chapters opening across the world.

Going further in our journey towards building android applications, we will be modifying the application already created in our previous article. As opposed to earlier, instead of showing the greeting message in an alert dialog we will be showing it in a new activity with the help of a TextView component. This greeting in the second activity will depend on our selection of the festival made in the first activity and will be displayed when the “Show Greeting” button is pressed. This creates a problem, i.e. how do we make the two activities communicate? Moreover, how do we invoke the second activity? This is done with the help of intents. Intents are a mechanism for inter process communication in Android, and this is what we are going to learn.The Greeting displayed after...

Here’s hoping you enjoyed running your first Android application. If you missed out, you can do that by going here. I'll now look at creating interfaces and a really basic application that'll let you choose a festival, and then show you a greeting in the dialog box when you click the Show Greeting button. I've assumed you're familiar with Java and are ready to move on to building such applications as a natural progression from my previous article that focussed on the essential steps in building a specific app for Android.The three stepsThere are three main aspects to creating your greeting application – the Greeting Activity which is the main activity, the main.xml file for layout, and the strings.xml file for strings to be used in the layout.

Yes, we figured you'd need a quick and handy guide you can leave open on your screen while you attempt your first Android app! Developing for Android is quite easy, and that's the best part about it. It utilises Java as the programming language and runs on a Dalvik Virtual Machine, which differs from a Java Virtual Machine. The Android Development Tools (ADT) plugin for Eclipse will give you all the necessary files for your new Android project and will even do half the work for you.InstallationThe Android SDK will run on Windows versions after Windows XP, Linux and Mac OS X (10.4.8 or later). In order to install the Android SDK, you will need JDK 5 or 6. To get the latest Android SDK, go here and select the appropriate version. This will download an archive file. Unzip it and save the...
