A Beginner’s Guide to Programming for Android now Available at Linux.com
If you’re reading this, the chances are very high that you’ve at some point in time considered coding for Android. For whatever reason, you just haven’t be able to take that fist step. Learning something new can sometimes be intimidating, but it’s a new year, so why not take on a new challenge?
Since the first step is always the hardest, the Linux Foundation has put together a beginner’s tutorial to help get you started. Android is, after all, a Linux-based OS, so why not let the gurus behind Linux help you along.
While the tutorial teaches the very basics, it’s still assumed you have some basic familiarity with Java, XML, and programming in general.
Part 1 will introduce you to the Dev environment, get you setup, and then challenge you to make your very first Android app (a simple timer countdown).
You won’t be creating the next Temple Run or Angry Birds just yet, but at least you’ll have taken the first step, and that’s all that counts.

Urban Armor Gear LG G4 Case Review
June 23, 2015 | Vincent Messina
The Urban Armor Gear series of cases for the LG G4 aim to protect and serve your mobile device in a virtual blanket of, well, urban armor. Designed from a patented lightweight composite consisting of a hard outer shell and a soft impact resistant core, this dual layer defense not only meets military drop-test standards (MIL STD 810G 516.6), but looks good doing it. Now, before I go into more detail, let it be know that I have always been more of an au naturel device kind of guy, but after a bit of time with the Ash colored LG G4 Urban Armor Case, I can tell you that this case won’t be coming off any time soon.
Device Review: Droid Turbo, This is the Droid You’re Looking For
January 31, 2015 | Keyan X
The DROID brand deserves the majority of credit for the amount of early success that the Android operating system had in 2009 and 2010. From the original Motorola DROID to the original DROID Incredible, this was the brand of phones that people flocked to if they wanted a phone outside of the iPhone, not just because of a great marketing campaign, but because these were top of the line phones. Ask most of the readers on this site which phone got them started on Android, and you shouldn’t be surprised to hear them say, “The OG DROID.” It’s an iconic phone that helped launch Android to the top.
