Easiest way to program/develop an android app

Question

So I am aware of Android Studio as I have tried it before, but I felt it was a bery heavy software. euther that or i just had a bad experience with it. Any suggestions on a good simplified way to program an android app? How did you approach programming your first app? I am honestly having a hard time figuring out how to approach programming the app and what to do it in.

Thanks for all of the feedback and suggestions in advance.

if you want to learn it it's easy you just need the toolkit and these stuff here :
1. you need to take a small tutorial about the structure of the program
2. you need to choose a programming language I prefer Java it's the most used in android
3.after you complete the course of your programming language now you will start making a little simple project then you should start the advanced level and complete a course/tutorial for the programming language that you use to make your app better
4.extra note if you love python don't forget this module for android its called "import droid" or "import Android.App.Activity" in Java
5.this depends on your program if you want it to be on web or for offline use I would prefer offline just if you don't have much money to pay but if you have that would be easier for you cause using a server will let you execute and enter commands faster instead of waisting your time :p
6.your app structure will require the manifest file that is written in XML you can write it yourself or you can use terminal to execute a command that will set it up with some high level programming languages like python 3 ( High Level Object-Oriented Programming Language ) the toolkit includes the manifest setup for you
7.if you are a little programmer you can make a simple security or just make the server connection required and if you are an advanced programmer use penetration tools but that doesn't mean you can't do a something like if you are a n00b yes you can ! because everyone can code :)
8.finally congratulations 🎉🎊🎇YOU ARE READY TO MAKE YOUR PROJECT PUBLIC!🎇🎉🎊

Answer 4

Very interesting information there warlord. Not a half bad set of steps. I am very fluent in JAVA and know that Android is based strongly off of it. So that will be easy.

I did try a course from Udacity, but the course was much more than basic. It included so much around the padding and such forth that I felt it started to stray far from basic. So I am going to work through some books I bought a while back and see where they lead me.

Thanks for all of the feedback so far. I am definitely going to keep all of this in mind. I am still open to any and all other suggestions. :)

Answer 6

in regards to those programs, what is your feedback on them?

Answer 7

Thank you manual. I will. It would be nice if the original poster would update his post. Unfortunately there is a limit to your first post regarding characters. Instead, they should create a piece of "code" with them all.

I am always into free ebooks.
