My First Android: Hello World

I couldn’t wait to test drive Google’s Android. Today I did it finally with subbu , as always Google is simple and cool.

Android SDK is available, even an eclipse Plug-in is also available which makes our life much simpler. Just install the SDK + plugin and play around. The SDK comes with some samples, which will be a help a lot in kick starting.

Android API is packed with widgets, something similar to GWT, but a lot more(obviously).

There are four building blocks to an Android application:

• Activity
• Intent Receiver
• Service
• Content Provider

I went through Scobleizer,  he has posted a crappy post about Android, where he has listed out the certain short comings(which he thinks so), just for the sake. He couldn’t think beyond iphone, we cannot compare both. Open Source always has one advantage, it always grows.Still a lot to go, this time, I am not gona stop with my Hello World Application. Planing to Explor(d)e.  

Update: Scobleizer has repented for doing so after a good number of commenters
said that he was wrong.Its Good,that atleast he realized now
