How I did it?

Developing an Android application is straightforward… if you know Java. Android applications are written using Eclipse and an excellent plugin from Google which allows you to test your app on a virtual Android device as well as your real smartphone (I have a Google Nexus One…)

I spent a few days understanding user interface layouts and how to manage a database but this was time well spent.

Download World Cup 2010 TV Guide and have fun!
