yeah I looked at the app. inventor too. Its ok to create some interesting things, but like a true developer I want to get under the hood of it so I downloaded Eclipse etc.<br>I am only going to be doing bits and peices. Have to remember Java now thats all :-)<br>

App Inventor looks nice and is fine for 10 year olds that don't know<br>
how to program and want to start. If you know what you are doing it is<br>
a mess that takes ages.<br>
<br>
Use eclipse and go through the tutorials. The biggest issue you'll<br>
have is working out which classes reside in which files and what the<br>
class is called for something you want to do.<br>
