You might want to start with app inventor, it is a good way to get your feet wet before getting in to hardcord android development. It’s free and easy to use with lots of support available, http://appinventor.mit.edu/

If you stick with the SDK, you’ll want to become familiar with http://www.stackoverflow.com, you’ll find answers to a number of programming/environment issues there.

I once heard that the best way to gain developer support was to make sure the OS you were pimping was on as much consumer hardware as possible…or something like that.

Just sayin’.

Don’t be sorry for asking a question you don’t know the answer to. There is no stupid question. He was wrong to react like that. I don’t know the answer
myself, but it looks like you got the answer you were looking for. Good luck with your app! Always remember that a little extra design will go a long way.

I really like your idea! I bet Google could push the update without Verizon having anything to do about it. I’m sure they wouldn’t, but I can’t imagine there is any real recourse for their actions.

Don’t feel bad for asking. That’s what these boards are for.

Thanks for answering my question and sorry for posting such a noob question (I’m new to developing for Android)!

Is this a serious question? I don’t mean to flame you, but if you are asking this question I don’t think you should be developing apps….

to answer your question, you only need to update your sdk if you are going to use features from 4.2, otherwise don’t worry about it

just wanted to drop a line in the most recent post here.. anyone still trying for a Nexus 4, keep refreshing. they’re going in and out of stock. i just got lucky on the 16gb model @ 3:59PM EST, NYC area. it worked best when i started frantically refreshing for a while with the F5 key (not that it matters much, I’m sure it’s just pure dumb luck going on right now).
