[quote=kev374]how does one break into Android development? I have done a bit of it but not officially at any job. I just haven’t had an opportunity yet on a project.[/quote]
I wouldn’t work for free for someone else that wants an app written. No free lunch. What I would do is think of something you think you would like to have on your Android or iPhone that is relatively easy to do and just write an app to do it, even if an app already exists.
For example, I hate organizing my receipts. So I wrote something that after I take a picture of a receipt, I pick which folder it gets uploaded to on google drive, so at tax time, I don’t have to deal with the current mess I’m dealing with.
And awhile ago, I wrote a stupid mileage log app that just records the time you drive to your next business meeting, capturing start time, end time, and distance using the GPS apis, which then gets exported to a .CSV file. Wasn’t that hard to do, and it doesn’t have to have a fancy UI.
This will also test to see how interested you really are in wanting to learn.
