Simple First App

To program simple apps using a drag and drop interface, or as a beginner project, App Inventor is an intuitive piece of software with a great tutorial to start off with.

You can follow the above link to the setup page, and follow the links from there to install the necessary software for mac, windows, or linux computers. From there, click on the link that says build your first app with the emulator, for a step by step guide to building a very simple first app (a picture of a kitty that meows when you touch it).

When you are finished the program, save this app on your computer as an .apk file, which you can then transfer onto your tablet. Then, in your tablet settings, under security, enable the "allow installation of non-market apps" option. Find the .apk file on your tablet using a file browser, and open the .apk file. The app should now be installed on your tablet!


For further resources on App Inventor, there's tutorials and reference documentation available. There is also a forum, tAIR, you can post to with questions.
