Who are new to Android application development often face an important decision - "what options are available to start developing applications on android". The primary objective for this webinar is to give you a rundown of all the possibilities available to get started with android application development so that you are thoroughly informed of the pros and cons of each option and which one to choose to start building your application, thus providing valuable insights to make the decision.
The options available are: to build java, flex or native applications. To build applications that run directly on the hardware, the best option is to build a native application in C or C++. For developers familiar with Java, it is possible to build applications in java, that run on a virtual machine similar to the JVM. Finally, there is another completely different option since the past few years, that of building applications that run on the flash player - thus opening up the option of flex mobile application development on android.
