10 Steps to Creating Your First Android App
Building an Android app is not as difficult as it might seem if you focus on building a simple app first. Android Authority shares a tutorial that covers 10 essential things you need to do to develop your first app.
Although it is presented as a 10- day program that takes you from idea to publication in the Play Store, if you don’t have any programming experience, you will probably need more than a couple of hours for each of the ten days. Learning Java fundamentals alone can take days or weeks.
However, this is a good plan with associated resources to start with. Ten steps:
- Idea (development of the concept of your application)
- Wireframe drawing
- Choosing an IDE and setting it up
- Learning Java Basics
- Create or get your images
- Layout creation
- Coding
- Implementation of more advanced functionality
- Add extra polish
- Publishing your application
Somewhere between steps 7 and 10, you can also add “Debug” because you will run into errors. Additionally, steps 7 through 9 will include a Google search and a visit to the Stack Exchange.
Check out the guide below to get started.
