Google I/O 2009 – How Do I Code Thee? Let Me Count the Ways Dan Morrill The primary way to develop apps for Android is using managed code that runs in the Dalvik virtual machine.

I’m interested in starting developing for Android, and creating a custom OS based off of Android for an NVidia Tegra based device built for gaming.

Great Video can a person with little or no programing experience learn to write Android code, in other words is their hope for me. lol

this is absolutely an awesome subject
You’d need to learn to program in java. You can learn that online free. Then download the anroid sdk. You can get that on their site. It’s all well documented.
