Android - Where to Start?

I am getting started with Android development. I hope to share my understanding of how to build apps and how things work in Android as I learn more. This is my first post about getting started.

If you are looking for a starting point, you can easily get started by following Android online tutorials or pickup one of the Android books such as Hello Android , The busy coder's guide or The big nerd ranch guide.

Next, to setup your development environment follow the instructions to install the Android Development Toolkit.

The toolkit has a built-in emulator and so it is not necessary to buy an Android device, at least, at this time. You can get started by running your applications in the emulator.
