Samsung Mobile SDK Tutorial

Samsung Mobile SDK TutorialWelcome to my Samsung Mobile SDK Tutorial, which is part of my Android Development Tutorial. Over the course of this series I will take a look at many of the tools provided by the Samsung Mobile SDK while continuing to cover how to write code for Android in general.

I’m doing this series of tutorials because Samsung currently controls over 32% of the smart phone market (Apple controls 12% in comparison) and yet there are many more iOS tutorials then Samsung tutorials. I think that is a bit odd? I hope to solve that problem while also continuing to teach Android specific coding.

If you like videos like this it helps if you tell Google+ with a click here [googleplusone]

Don’t forget to check out the Samsung Smart App Challenge and if it is still November 2013, don’t forget to sign up to win a Samsung Galaxy Note 3, or Samsung Galaxy Gear Smart Watch on my site.

  13. Hi!
    Apparently I already had a samsung account, but it throws an error while entering (not from password). Well I signed few years ago, so the long time has maybe caused it.
    But I don’t care that much if I’m not in competition for that reason. I just thought I’ll give a change for my luck 🙂 .

    1. Hi, Thank you very much 🙂 I’m very happy that I was able to help. I definitely want to cover electronics since I have been doing a ton of work using custom made tools together with Android in the real world. I’ll hold a vote on the tutorial that will replace C soon.

    I’m currently working my way through Java but hope to start Android soon. I actually used my Java knowledge to write a nice program which dissects the HTML results file from an orienteering race and creates a text file with the chosen runners times compared to the best times (per kilometre and overall every kilometre etc.). It’s really nice to copy to a blog for a race report and has saved people interested a tonne of time as they used to write up a similar layout on their blogs manually!

    Thanks again!

    1. That sounds very cool! Yes, I automate just about everything in my life. Once you combine electronics with programming it is very easy to automate most everything. I few months back it made me laugh when a door to door salesman tried to sell me a security system. I asked him into my house and showed him the one I built. I didn’t build it to protect anything because I don’t really have anything. It was just a fun thing to do 🙂

      Best of luck in the contest.

  34. Hey derek, I’ve been going through your tutorials lately and they’ve helpedme learn several new things. I was also going through some topics I already knew (like your html and css tutorials), and even those were refreshing.

    I look forward to your samsung series, I’ve got an old galaxy s captivate I used for starting android development and my daily carry for the last few years has been a galaxy nexus. Ironically I’ve never looked twice at samsung development so I’ll be following you through this. I’ve registered on samsungs developer website in hopes of nabbing some contest prizes or maybe a gn3. Either way this is a push in the right direction for me, I applied for the tegra development kit a while back and sort of gave up on OEM specific development when they never contacted me back. Thanks and keep up the good work!

    1. Hey Keith, Yes it has been fun to cover a brand new SDK right out of the oven. I’ve never done that before. It has been fun to be the guy that explored this API pretty much for the first time. I hope you guys have enjoyed the ride as well 🙂
