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. Continue reading Samsung Mobile SDK Tutorial

Install Google ADT on Mac

Install Google ADT on MacI have received numerous requests to cover how to install the Google ADT on Mac. Most people don’t know this, but I test install the Google ADT, Eclipse Juno, Eclipse Kepler and Android Studio on many different OSs and set ups on a regular basis. Up until now the Google ADT didn’t install easily every time on every Mac. It technically still isn’t an easy install, but if you follow the steps below I’m confident you can now get it to install.

I want to make a special note though that if you aren’t comfortable using the terminal, or if any of the following seems confusing it is better to use my previous tutorial to develop Android apps. It is here Install Android Development Tools. Continue reading Install Google ADT on Mac
