Android Development

At the moment there is a lot of discussion on the android market forum. The reason for this is an actual change for the development device. Google decided to restrict the download of paid applications from the developer device.
This upsets the developer community because now no developer can download his own paid application on his device.
Ok the developer can install his own application directly on his device but he can’t pay and install applications from other developers. This means he can’t look at the work of his direct competitors.

The reason for this restriction is to prevent the ripping of foreign paid application with the developer device. One important question is, if Google really thinks that a developer who paid more than $400 (for the dev G1) would pirate applications worth $1 to $5.

On droidnova.com we want to share our experience on android programing.

To be honest, we nearly have no experience but since more than a week we are working hard to get into the android framework. We read articles, documentations and starting to program very little and easy application to get a feeling for android.

This development blog is right for you if you also want to start to learn what android can do for your mobile device. We want to create tutorials to share our knowledge with you and to show you with an example what you can do and why you should do it this way.

We are at the moment a team of two Java developers with experience in programing web applications. Now we switch our concentration to mobile devices and especially android.

Take part on our journey and learn what we learned.
