What are some good android beginner projects that can be done? I just bought an android phone and would love to see an app I made on my own phone and show people and potential employers. can I get a list of some good basic projects?

Answer 1

The answer to that is : "Scratch your own itch"

Create an app that solve a problem you would like to be solved. What could be better in your life and how could your phone help you remove that PITA from your day to day routine.

Then code :D

Good luck.

budgetDroid...it will keep track of your monthly budget.a very useful project.you can impress your friends,family members and can keep a check on your pocket too !! but before that you need to study the concepts of Activities,intents and SQlite database.i wold recommend you first visit http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-formstuff.html there are few tutorials on the left hand side fir beginners!

Try working with the accelerometer and an image of a ball. When the X/Y values of the accelerometer change, move the ball accordingly (e.g., X value positive 9? Move the ball 9 pixels to the right!). That will get you working with a few pieces of the API and, of course, an Activity. You'll also get to learn about screen orientation. :)

Answer 4

Check out the Android Developers site at http://developer.android.com/resources/index.html. They have a large number of tutorials and examples to get you started. Also, most books related to Android development have an app of some sort that they walk you through, highlighting certain aspects of the OS/device and then implementing them in a coherent program.

Also, the Android SDK includes a number of examples (w/ source code). I don't have the directory structure in front of me, but I believe the examples for each version of the SDK can be found in their respective directories.

Good luck.

A fun one is a guessing game. For example have the user try to guess a number between 0 and 100, when they guess have the game tell them if there guess to high or low. Make sure you randomize the integer so it is different each time.
