Android App Programming

Simple First App

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

You can 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 then be installed on your tablet!
