[RESOLVED] Android Dev
Hi all, Im currently working on my very first android project, and I must admit I have very little clue as to what I am doing.
The Java coding is going well so far, the only thing I am having an issue with at the moment is layouts.
I am attempting to create a custom control with a custom layout. The only issue is I can not seem to find a way to link my layout to my custom control unless my control is an activity. If I make my control an activity then its not a custom control and I can not use it as such.
I need to use custom reusable controls in this project as the app is going to be very large. Anyone have a good understanding of how to accomplish this? Or perhaps has a link to a site where this is explained in detail?
Thank you in advance.

Re: Android Dev
Could someone point me in the direction of a forum that is active with android? Ive posted this same issue on several others with no response. And I am still finding little to no explanation on the net. A tutorial would be great, but a forum where I could actually get someone who knows about android would be just as welcomed. Thank you again

Re: Android Dev
I may have missed the point, but when I google for 'android application development', I get 50,300,000 results, the first of which is the link nuzzle suggested (a good link). For 'android application development forum' I get 17,300,000 results, the second of which is the forums page at the link nuzzle suggested...
Sometimes this site feels like a Google front-end.
Just sayin'

Re: Android Dev
Honestly for someone who has NEVER even used eclipse, the android dev page is only slightly helpful. Even some of the code / examples are broken and dont work in the instances (or in they way) they portray them to.
either way I figured it out from reading a bunch of stack overflow posts (most of which were not helpful) and trial and error.
New to Java + New to android, just wanted a little explanation.... Thanks
Lastly does anyone know where I may be able submit inaccuracies to the android dev team since the link I was provided with is riddled with broken code mainly caused by typos / incorrect API information? This would make it a bit easier to develop for android if many of their examples worked. Or perhaps its just me, but as a new developer their page really does very little in the way of help.
PS dlorde you have missed the point. I wasnt looking for an general answer of how many results you could return for a google search of "android application development". I asked a Specific question on how to accomplish a task. Thanks for your attempt, but not at all what I needed.

OK, no problem - I must have misunderstood when you said "Could someone point me in the direction of a forum that is active with android?", because the second link in the Google search I posted was exactly that...
If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative...
