The Android operating system is becoming popular day by day, and most of the mobile devices and tablets are now running Android. There are many apps already on the Google Play which are earning a good income. You can also get income by making a free app by placing ads in your app. Now users are more interested in Android-supported mobiles because they are of less cost too. Samsung is a big partner in the Android market, and it is launching new Android mobiles every few months.

So today, I give you the steps by which you can become a good Android developer.

  1. You have to first learn the basics of Java, as Android apps are built on the Java language. Try to make your first Hello World app and then move forward.
  2. Learn object-oriented programming in Java to get a better command of making great apps.
  3. Learn Android SDK libraries. This is a tough part in your learning, but if you follow the first two steps, then you will learn quickly.
  4. Buy some good Android books from Amazon or from your local bookstore.
  5. Download Android SDK with the SDK emulator. You can buy an Android smartphone or tablet to test your app. The SDK emulator can also be used to test your app.
  6. Download eclipse or netbeans. I personally like Eclipse.
  7. After you learn the programming and other stuff, try to make your first demo app. This gives you a good learning start.
  8. If you want to launch your app on the Android Market, then you have to register yourself as an Android developer on the Android Market.
  9. Always place your ads in a free Android app so that you can earn money.
  10. Never lose your passion. Work hard and get help from the people already working as Android developers.

If you follow the above ten steps, then you will have no problem in becoming a good Android developer.
