I have just started learning about Android and I was planning on making a few apps.
So I was wondering what language do I build apps on and what are the free tools and ebooks about it and also any good IDE for it?
It's in Java and the IDE that can be used is Eclipse:
all information on this SDK page
But you should ask this on the Stackexchange site: here
As Edelcom said, Android apps are built in Java.
Eclipse is one of the IDEs that can be used, though personally I prefer using IntelliJ. IntelliJ10 comes with Android SDK - go for the Community Edition, it's free :)
Have a look at the Android website for lots of information, the tutorials are a good place to start, and are great for hands-on learning - http://developer.android.com/resources/browser.html?tag=tutorial
As of December 2014 use Android Studio.

Basically I'm asking is if I was to download eclipse right now(8/3/17), would I still be able to get all the required plugins to effectively develop android applications.
if so can some one tell me where I could get them.? Everyone keeps sending me to the android studio page but I can't find a link to the stand alone sdk without downloading android studio
Any help will be appreciated
Here you can find the SDK tools package.
I was developing GWT application but as I came to know google doesn't support GWT developer plugin for Google Chrome now, provide me any other method to test my application of GWT
SuperDevMode is the new way of debugging GWT applications.
If you want to use the older GWT developer plugin then you can if you use an older browser. The latest version of Firefox that can be used is version 24. IE 11 works fine too.
GWT Development Mode will no longer be available for Chrome sometime
in 2014, so we improved alternate ways of debugging. There are
improvements to Super Dev Mode, asserts, console logging, and error
messages.Read Note

I am completely new to mobile app development and basically c#,.net developer.Recently i got a requirement to develop a iPhone application.Some experts suggested me to use icenium extension for visual studio and Phonegap. I want to know how to use/install phonegap for this and how does phonegap helps me to develop this application?what are the basic difference between icenium and phonegap as i know both helps to develop cross platform apps.
Telerik AppBuilder (formerly known as Icenium) is a set of IDEs and cloud-based build tools that allow you to use PhoneGap/Cordova to build cross-platform apps. You should read up on it and use their free trial here: http://www.telerik.com/appbuilder
Check out the Multi-Device Hybrid Apps (Preview) from Microsoft.
Don't you just love their naming conventions...
I haven't had a chance to try it myself as it requires VS2013 and Windows 8.1, but it looks promising.
Use Nomad. (Visual studio extension which integrates Adobe Phonegap Build)
Update:
From http://vsnomad.com/
Retiring Nomad
When we made Nomad free, we hoped the support load would be
manageable. However, we’ve found our users still expect a lot of
support for free tools. We don’t want to give our users false
expectations, so we think it’s better that they find another solution
with full support. For this reason, we will retire Nomad on September
1st this year.
Alternatives to Nomad
Nomad uses the open-source Cordova framework. This means you can move
Nomad projects to other vendors that use Cordova, including:
PhoneGap Build (Adobe)
Instead of using PhoneGap Build via Nomad, you can interact with it directly using the PhoneGap Build command line.
Multi-Device Hybrid Apps (Microsoft)
A Visual Studio extension that adds PhoneGap support.
AppBuilder (Telerik)
A Visual Studio extension similar to Nomad.
I've developed an Android app which has replaced two previous systems written in J2ME. My boss has the old source code and needs it compiling for Samsung tocco phones. Which sdk/jar file do i need in Eclipse to make the source code compile?
I've had a look on the samsung web site but can't seem to find anything. Also it's not clear which operating system the Tocco phones use.
thanks in advance Matt
You may try installing Samsung SDK 1.2.2 for the Java ME platform:

And then taking the steps on how to create a Hello world with it:

I'm following a tutorial that utilizes the Motorola Java ME sdk for device profile customization, as it uses quite a user-friendly UI, but this SDK seems to no longer exist. Can anyone suggest an alternative?
I'm using netbeans as my IDE.
Currently you can't find any Motorola emulator for Java ME. Because they fully moved to Android. So better you can try with some other emulator for Java ME.
