Which Android development blog has the most walkthroughs and tutorials?

Question

I need to work on my Android development skills. Which blog has the freshest and most walkthroughs, code samples, and tutorials?

Answer 1

the freshest and most walkthroughs, code samples, and tutorials?

Unfortunately I don't think this is the best approch. Many of these tutorials are a year+ old (when Android was still in its alpha release); a lot has changed in terms of the API and UI conventions.

Included API Samples
I recommend being familiar with 1)simply creating a project and then 2)reviewing all the API samples included in your Android dev install. These samples should be in the \samples\ApiDemos\src\com\example\android\apis folder of your Android install path.

Android Tutorials
About 6 months ago I presented an Android overview at NYU's ITP with a simple hello world tutorial. It details how to get Eclipse and your first app up and running. It can be found here:

Also, we provided an mapping tutorial that demonstrates how to use web services in conjunction with Androids mapping control. Most importantly it shows how to safely makes use of background threads for managing HTTP requests.

If you are looking for a comprehensive introductory tutorial for Android development, please check out my own (Game of Life) tutorial: http://www.quesucede.com/page/show/id/conway_game_of_life_android.
