Getting started

Now that I've decided on what my first project for this blog is going to be it's time to get down to business. As I have never worked with android before, the first step is to actually read some of the documentation, of which there is plenty of. From what I've seen before it's quite similar to J2ME in the sense that there's a bit of boiler plate code that's bare minimum for setting up the graphics device and appending stuff to it. I don't think it's going to be too difficult to learn!

In terms of the IDE, I'll be using Eclipse. So far, I've downloaded the Android SDK and I've installed the ADT Plugin for Eclipse, which has now just been configured as of this moment! I'm going to spend the next couple of hours learning the basics of the framework before I start up on designing how this ap will function, at which point ill draw up a few class diagrams and do a few pretty flow charts and stuff.
