Ask HN: Does anyone know of a good android app tutorial?
I've googled already, I assure you. But none of the ones I've seen so far do it for me.
Do you guys have any recommendations? If so, what's good about your recommendation?
Thanks a lot! -M

I watched this video which is not exactly a tutorial but gave me some good comprehensive knowledge, there is a part 2 as well. http://marakana.com/forums/android/general/230.html
Next I have been going through Hello, Android (Introducing Google’s Mobile Development Platform, 3rd Edition, by Ed Burnette) and will probably be doing the Apress Beginning Android book next.
Also check out http://www.reddit.com/r/android. Look on the sidebar as there are other subreddits of interest to you, especially http://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev.
Finally there is a tutorial in the Google documentation.
Best of luck!
Here is the Google guide I was talking about: http://developer.android.com/ here are some tutorials from there: http://developer.android.com/resources/index.html They call these tutorials but you are really just copying and pasting but I bet you could reverse engineer simple apps from this starting point. http://developer.android.com/guide/tutorials/views/index.htm...
Here are a couple tutorials, I have not reviewed them much so it is up to you to decide if they are any good: http://www.activefrequency.com/blog/2009/ground-up-android-g...

These guys talk about their experience in app development. http://www.kreci.net/ http://www.bryandenny.com/index.php/2010/05/25/what-i-learne...
Of course there is the App Inventor but when I did their tutorials I felt a little more like I was building a pre-fab kit rather than learning how to create: http://appinventor.googlelabs.com/about/
I read it before making my first application.
