I want to program in android OS for mobile.

Is the best language is JAVA?

Do you know the tools?

Thanks...
 

Thanks yanamaddinaveen

I would read them.

Do you knwo what is the difference between Eclipse and Netbeans?
 

Starting with the shared features, both are full-featured IDE, and both have excellent support for Java development.
At the end of the day, it's only a matter of tastes. You have to try them and decide which one is better based on your own inner feelings
 

If you want to develop Application on Android. You will need...

1.JDK (Java Development Kit), which includes the JRE. ( I use Java SE 7 )

2.Eclipse with the Android Development ( I use Eclipse Classic 3.7.1 )

3.Android Development tools ADT Plugin for Eclipse
( I use android-sdk_r13-windows.zip )

more detail
Android Control: Android Development
 

Attached here is a android application which is Android Flashlight

This is a very simple Android application that functions as a two-color flashlight. It is based on a class project for a course on programming Android Applications. Download it and play around the apps,get some handson with coding.

The best way to develop Android application is to download a virtual machine. Find the IP address of the Virtual machine and connect to it via adb. Using Eclipse with the Android SDK you can debug the application using the Virtual Machine. It is much easier and faster compare to the Eclipse simulator and also you can test Bluetooth using a dongle. The only thing that need to consider when rolling out the software is the screen resolution of the different mobiles and tablet in the market.
 

any new very good site about JAVA + ANDROID programming tutorial?
