Anyways I've probably spent 50 hours total (installing Android, getting things configured, looking over examples, and developing) And here's a bulleted list of things I've done and am now comfortable working on/with in Android:
The Basics
- Activities
- Intents
- ADT (eclipse plugin for Android)
- Layout Managers
- Integrating Resources (using R.)
Integrating with Platform/Tools
- Using Temporary Storage
- Integrating HTTP (Posting Data from the Phone to a Web Location)
- Multithreading (spawning and running threads)
- Integrating with the Camera
- Integrating TTS (Text To Speech)
- Querying and using users Contact Information (Querying Phones information)
- Using SQLLite (Database)
- Integrating Sounds (Button Clicks)
- Drawing Api
- Dynamic UI (showing and hiding view elements)
- Sprite integration and manipulation
- Image Manipulation (handling different Image formats, scaling/resizing images)
- NinePatch (using Draw-9 tool)
- ImageButtons (buttons that change when focus, selected, etc.)
- Page Transitions (Fade, Slide)
Not bad considering it's been only about 2 weeks of casually looking at it... I have lots more to learn, but so far, the platform and tools (ADT, Emulator, Draw-9, SqlLite) have been excellent
