New to Android I want to know more about it

Question

Well,Hello Everyone.I'am just 14 years old.I want to be a part of Android's Development. But were do I start.What should I learn? What are necessary Qualification to be a Part of Android's Development.

Things what I know

Basic PHP, HTML, PhotoShop, Video Editing, Basic Security and Fraud related matters, Some Microsoft Office Tools, Maya(Modelling only), Web Development, Dreamweaver, Blogging and Pawno (For Game Scripts..C Based Language)

I hope that's all. I do things (for programming)without knowing about the basics it has. I feel difficult to understand the guides in android.com . I want a Step by Step guide.

Hi, though it might be a little much at a time, android.com is worth a visit. Especially the tutorials are quite good to get started slowly with android. The Hello-World-Turotial can be found here: http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/hello-world.html

There are a couple of other tutorials which can be found in the navigation to the left like a tutorial on how to use Views. After you fnished those you might get started with the notepad tutorial which teaches the core concepts like intents, database stuff and UI etc..

Since Android is based on Java, you should probably get yourself some knowledge about it first or otherwise it might be very frustrating if you can't tell the difference between a Java concept and a concept of Android.

Hope everything is a bit clearer now! Enjoy coding!
