Part II

Starting to Program

In this part . . .

Part II gets you started on your development machine, installing and configuring all the tools you need to get started. I walk you through how to install the Eclipse development tool and the Android Software Development Kit (SDK). Then I show you how to create a sample project and give you a closer look at its pieces so you have a foundation for how Android projects are put together and work. Then you get a chance to create a view and start drawing stuff to the screen.
