Despite the fact that I have partially answered that in one of my earlier posts (Is it hard to become an Android developer…?) - I am still getting a lot of questions asking me how to become an Android developer. It is why I have decided to write about this once again. I know that the hardest in Android development is the beginning. I has been in the same situation and I lost a lot of time just to find the short intro that would tell me where should I start. In this post I will try to answer you by showing you the path. You will not learn anything right here - but you will know where should you start your adventures with this little funny Android robot (I bet you will like him sooner or later!).

Old post:
In most of my posts I am just sharing information about Android, my online income and Android market revenue. I am giving you a lot of information. As some of you have sad in your comments some are inspiring and some are just useful. This post is other than the rest. This time you won't learn anything new. This time I will ask you about something. But I will give you something in return as well. I will give you free copies of my new ebook about making money with Android (with free apps!).
My last post (Android Developer Income Report) caused a lot of questions about how to jump into Android apps development. It is very surprising for me as earnings I have presented are not even close to most of iPhone developers income. Anyway the future of Android developers is looking very bright and there is a lot of space for new applications ideas... So if you are still really interested in making Android development a serious source of your monthly income this post may be helpful as a starting point... Here are statements I have read before I started to develop for Android...
A lot of people says that there is no real money in the Android development. They say that if you want to make money you should write for iPhone, iPad and all other iThings... This is not true! I am not a one of guys that is making thousands of dollars but my income seems to be steady and is still growing.
Moreover I am not one of top developers nor any of my apps have been promoted by Android Market. I am just an one among of thousands of Android developers with not to well known apps. And what may be really surprising all my apps are free as Google do not allow developers from my country (Poland) to sell apps via Android Market!
It looks that the world got crazy because of rumors caused by yesterday tweet from HTC_NL that is official Netherlands twitter account. Moreover HTC webpage for China has been updated with information that HTC Desire phone will be shipped with Android 2.2. Both information has been confirmed by engadget - that may be considered as a trustworthy source of news.
Today morning I have received an email from "Android Market" team about a new adjustment to Android Market legals. Email has been saying that I need to accept new rules if I want to keep my developers account active. I was very excited about this as I am still waiting when I will be able to buy and sell Android applications from my country.
If you want to grab a Google Nexus One phone it is the last chance! As most of you may know (most of people interested in Android), Google has announced that they are no longer going to sell their awesome Nexus One phone (after they sell out). So if you want to have a phone that always gets latest Android updates almost immediately after release you should consider buying it right now.
If you have not noticed it yet on Android Market developers console a strange notification has appeared and is visible since a few hours. If you are registered Android developer you may read on your console following message:
"Sections of the site may be unavailable due to scheduled maintenance. You may view your list of apps and error reports."
Here is a screenshot with mentioned message:
They say about possible errors but I have not found any. Everything looks to be working smooth. There is no any info on official Android Developers blog.
Is it a forecast of some new features...? Most probably we will know it in a next few hours...
UPDATE 2010-07-20: It looks that the message has disappeared and there are no any new features...
UPDATE 2010-07-24: It looks that they were preparing for some new payment options... But changes are still not visible - post about it here.
