Learning programming is nothing you can do casually. It can take quite a while.

However, it depends on what you define as good knowledge. You will get really good coding skills after decades of programming. But don't worry. You won't need skills as good as a professional developer's skills at the beginning. (And I don't claim to be as good as one of those old folks I described.) ;)

It also depends on what you want to do. Some things like server communication are more complex while other things are easier.

I hope that this didn't discourage you. If you start with small apps, I am sure that you will be able to learn that. Coding is nothing magicial.

I'd start with book #2. I think that you can skip a lot of chapters of book #3 afterwards. I wasn't able to look into the first book on Amazon, but I think that I'd take that one as the last one.

However, make sure that you understand Java first. Without Java, the base for Android programming is missing.

I am sure that you can manage that. Enjoy it. ;)
[Java for Android App Development] radical_thinking:
I'd also recommend book 2. It's very good for basic stuff.
[Java for Android App Development] jekatt:
I don't know any of these books, but i would also recommend you Googles Android Developer Site:

http://developer.android.com/training/index.html

There are great tutorials and all concepts of Android Applications are described in detail and quite easy to understand for beginners.
[Java for Android App Development] RedDevil99025:
Thanks guys, as you suggest, I will start with book 2...
[Java for Android App Development] RedDevil99025:
Thanks Nikwen.....I am gonna devote this whole month completely to android, probably work on it for 15-16 hours a day....at the end of the month, I will know where I stand, and whether I can make a career out of it, or not.
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
Welcome. :)

Wow, that's much time. :good:

Enjoy it. ;)
[Java for Android App Development] alobo:
I'd also recommend stackoverflow.com

If you have a question regarding programming , there's a 95% chance it's been answered there :)
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:

Android is an open source and Linux-based operating system for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers.

For writing apps for Android is more than just learning code syntax. If you've never learned to code, you can check out plenty of resources online.

There are plenty of eBooks that are available which provides clear depth tutorial for creating Android apps from scratch.

I would like to recommend you one such eBook where I am sure you would get benefit out from it.

Here is the eBook link @ learnsauce.com
[Java for Android App Development] xmarkom:
The best programming language for beginners is Basic4Android (similar to Visual Basic).

Check out for my ebook on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/Game-development-Android-example-creating-ebook/dp/B0777PSGJZ

and start coding :)

considering getting tomtom5 for my mda compact.

anyone know whether its compatible, has anyone got it?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Bushido the Warrior:
Should be. TomTom 3 and 4 worked fine.

By the way, Bakonl's release of TomTom 5 was just posted on alt.binaries.warez.pocketpc.gps, along with a few maps.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Loboman:
Benelux map only.. :x
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] tCC:
TT5 does work :)

and not only benlux maps are posted. italy, france, germany, spain, uk are posted as well. rest will be posted as well i guess.

anyway, waiting for my legal TT5 to arrive (with the bt gps), woei =)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Drakknar:
I can't get it working... I tried installing in the program files and in the storage card directories but it crashes at the end of the tutorial, just after that the "Welcome to TomTom Navigator" message appears in the map screen.

I can't see the map nor the GPS is able to connect (TomTom "3" Navigator Wireless).

I can't find any registry entry, I modified the currentmap.dat in order to point to /storage card/italia-map.

Anyone was able to reproduce my problem and to solve it?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Loboman:
Yeah, I noticed there are a few maps out. I'd like Scandinavia tho :) Seems like a buggy version too.. Crashes often.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Drakknar:
Yeah... reeeeally buggy, I tried to check the post in the alt.warez.pocketpc.gps newsgroup for infos about bugs/problems etc. but I can't find it in my nssp server and using the web I'm not able to see the post (I can just see the header) so... I still can't use it :lol: ; maybe it could be a bad installer, I noticed that sometimes it won't install some cabs from the cd, or maybe it's just the italian map which is corrupt... who knows? 8)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] esackbauer:
I guess the release on alt.binaries is a preview or beta version.

The official release of Tomtom 5 will be end of June.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Ikkuh:
I have installed TomTom 5 to see if it works, I'm unable to connect my BlueTooth GPS (Holux GPSlim 236). The port does not show up on the device list under Buzz WM2005.

Does anybody know how to change this?

Ikkuh
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] bruxelles5:

Stefan
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Ikkuh:
I had the same problem.... go to the bluetooth com ports, change the GSM to use COM8.

Then start -> settings -> gps, on the first tab set com4 and on the second tab tom com8. The thrid tab should have the checkbox set.

Now reset your device.

Start tomtom, goto your GSM setup, choose Other bluetooth, select COM4.

Now exit tomtom and reset your device.

Start tomtom and wait a while (can take a few minutes for it to find the GPS).

This worked for me (you need the resets in order to detect the com ports!!)

Ikkuh
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] dickr43:
@Ikkuh,

How can I change the Com port settings on my MDA Compact? I can't seem to understand you're solution. I need Com 8 and TT5 only has 2,4,5 and 9.

Thanks in advance!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Ikkuh:
There is a serial port multiplexer build in just for the GPS. It is under settings -> GPS, if you use this, you can create a virtual serial port, and attach it to the hardware GPS. If you do this and reset the device, the virtual GPS will show up in TomTom (in my case it did ;-) )

Ikkuh
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] HBK:
I must admit dickr43 has got a point. Even though you are trying to be helpful, Ikkuh, it's a bit hard to understand.

There IS no GSM setup in TT. Most likely you mean GPS?

Doesn't exist either. Must be some third party app you have installed...

dickr43,

Try removing your GPS pairing from the Magician. Go select the 'Bluetooth Setting' icon under Settings/System and make sure both the serial ports are activated. Note which COM port is 'Outbound', then re-pair with your GPS device. Start TT and in the GPS settings panel, you should get things running by selecting the COM port that was marked for Outbound.

Unless you are running some third party software with virtual BT COM ports, that should get you up and running. If you are, try each COM port one by one. Don't hurry through the ports, but give it time to connect. 5-10 seconds at least. Also make absolutely sure your GPS is within range and has a satellite fix, or you are wasting your time.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] sdamion:
I cant use tomtom 5 as a route map

I just want to use it sometimes without the gps module is it possible. Because with the older version it was possible to select a GPS simulator.

THX :lol:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] elyl:
The "unofficial" versions of TomTom5 doing the rounds seem to have been taken from beta builds. I installed without any problems, but noticed a number of bugs (not recognising GPS, the program freezing, picking up wild GPS info, settings not sticking)... sometimes you'd think it was working, and you'd think you'd got it stable, but then they'd fall down.

I've tried 3 different versions doing the rounds right now and none of them are stable. I'll wait a month or so for a more finished release is available.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] willumpie82:
i got my hands on TT5 aswell, the program looks realy nice and lot improvement to TT3, but as mentioned above, it's not very stable, spontain exiting of TT5 is not cool when youre in the middle of no where.

my gps was recognized directley,

i just went to BT settings and checked Com5 and a messege apeared that i must bond with a compatible device, so i bonded with my GPS reciever and in the TT wizard i could chose Com5 and it connected right away, much easyer than TT3

How kan i get the cracked version?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] mutsoft:
Hi, I too had a lot of trouble getting TomTom5 to work on the MDA, it seemed no matter what I did TomTom5 just could not communicate with my BT-338.

And I tried every thing that I read on any post that I could find but to no avail.

I found this file on a newsgroup. It seemed reinstall the TomTom3.07 Gps Panel that the TomTom5 upgrade removed.

Although this part of TomTom found the Gps unit and communicated with the Gps unit as soon as I loaded TomTom 5 "NOTHING". It would not communicate.

My BT-338 uses SIRFIII and the setting on the GPS software was set to SIRF 38400 and that worked fine in TomTom 3.07 and the newly installed Gps 3.07 panel. But not in TomTom 5.

So I changed the settings on the TomTom 3.07 Gps Panel to NMEA 38400. Tested Ok! as did previous settings. I then fired up TomTom5 and in the Gps section changed the setting to NMEA at 38400 rather than 'Other Bluetooth Devices' and WOW it started to communicate.

I am not sure why changing the setting from SIRF 38400 to NMEA 38400 in the TomTom 3.07 Gps Panel worked. Or for that matter reinstalling the TomTom 3.07 Gps panel helped. All I now is that I was ready to give up hope and then a last minute change and "Hey Presto" Maybe someone out there might be able to put the pieces together and work it out.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] thom@s:
TT5 works fine on my MDA flashed with french ROM 1.11 bigstorage... Everything was easy : installation, configuration, etc. ;)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jackleung:
I can get the my Tomtom BT GPS to work w/o problem on my Imate Jam.

But I do encounter the following problem (I already did a hard reset and only install TT5):

1. If I got a GPS fix and I ask it to navigate to some place, it will crash and exit.

2. But if I turn off the GPS (by choose another com port), and ask it to route. It works ok.

3. If I turn the GPS back on, it will countinue to work w/o problem.

Therefore, I have to turn off and on the GPS for every route I choose.....
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] funglenn:
This may help some:

My Tomtom 5 would quit unexpectedly, and i tried all sorts of things, hard reset and clean install and still would quit.

The Answer was...

- erase the POI file from TomTom5 Maps and replace it with POI file from TomTom 3 Map

It was the POI file that would kill it (once I got the whole Bluetooth done)

Hope it helps, someone posted it here
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jackleung:
After reading all sort of forums and found my case is so unique, I am starting to guess it's because my Magician is loaded w/ the Dopod Tradition Chinese Rom 1.11. My assumption is that there isn't many Chinese here using TomTom 5 (a GPS software for Europe and US).

I loaded w/ WWE 1.12 found and it WORKS!!!! Now I can load my TT5 w/ TT 2004 US map!

You can try TomTom 5.1 upgrade.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] latts:
Working fine

Hi,

I bought TomTom5 and it worked perfectly first time. Just inserted the SD card and it was up and running in a couple of minutes.

Tried it out driving from the North of England to Harwich in the south and it was perfect. Was worried about the speed of the software but its much better than I imagined.

Now just waiting for the other maps to be released.

BTW I'm using the TT GPS unit that came with the software not a 3rd party on.

M.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] gogol:
Other maps are released already. But I dont know how to install it. It is released in an EXE format, if you execute, it just unzipped the content.

I copied into the \My Documents\ folder, but tomtom cant recognize it.

Anyone know a workaround ?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] adiepie:
Serial port changing

Just to add to the confusion, HOW can you change a serial port? The device I'm trying to use (Dell navteq GPS) uses port 7, which doesn't appear to exist, but every so often the bloody thing bonds and works........AND THEN STOPS!!!

Help!!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] 8Ball:
Gogol

if you are placing maps on your sd card then put the map folder in the root directory of the SD Card and also create an empty folder in the root called TomTom.

I don't know why, but just by adding this empty folder everything starts working I had to do this trick to get some custom voices to work. I assume that thisis the problem with maps too.

8Ball
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] gogol:
I did that.

I made a folder in the Storage Card :

\Major-Roads-of-Europe

And copied all the contents there

then I made an empty folder in the Storage Card :

\TomTom

Started TomTom 5, click Change preference, Switch map.

I can only see the Benelux map.

Any other that should be changed or edit ?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] pleun:
Think it should be :

Major Roads Of Europe-Map

You shouldn't have to create a folder, just copy the entire folder from cd or hd to the SD card
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] gogol:
I did that, and still it cant be recognized.

The .exe file name is Major_Roads_Of_Europe Navigator Map.exe

If I execute it, it will be unzipped into a folder Major_Roads_Of_Europe Navigator Map

I tried to move that folder into \Storage Card\ , but it does not recognized.

Any idea ?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] gogol:
I found the problem !

I installed TomTom version 5.100 (5160).

If you install this, then the Major Roads of Europe map will not be recognized.

I downgraded to TomTom version 5.000 (4890), and that map is now visible in the map list.

What is your TomTom 5 version ?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] pleun:
mine is 5.1 but I use the exe from 5.0
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] sgt_pepperAT:
using tt5.0 NO PROBLEMS!!!

tt5.1 did not work since it did not find my florida and austria map.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] phoneturf:
I prefer the consistency of AOSP roms that name the internal storage /storage/sdcard0 and the external storage /storage/sdcard1. It is one reason I am loathe to use touchwiz based roms, which call the external storage /storage/extSdCard (and you have to get the capital letters right!) since then I have to change all my backed up apps that used sdcard1 to instead point to extSdCard. I have been wanting to use MHL, though, so guess I now need to try a TW rom. Is there a way to create a shortcut to extSdCard and call the shortcut sdcard1 so I don't have to change any of the backed up apps that use the external card?

Or, are there any non-TW roms where MHL works?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] phoneturf:
Did you ever find an answer to this? I like TW roms for a few things like slightly better bluetooth handling, voice search works consistently,and I never get the mdm_hsic_pm0 wakelock, but am always loathe to use one since I have to fix all my apps which refer to sdcard1. Can you just flash a TW rom and rename extSdCard to sdcard1 in root explorer?

You may be right, but surely South Koreans aren't the only ones who buy PMPs. I'm sure they'd sell more if they offered them worldwide.
