A. go to an convenient store or mall and buy a prepaid card and load it for the amount you plan to spend on apps , then use it on the android apps store.

What is a really good software to make apps for android?
Q. I am looking for a software to make android apps so that i can sell them. I don't know all the coding and systems and stuff that actually build the app so I would like it to be fairly easy to use and a simple clean format. Can you please give suggestions? Thanks!
Thank you so much! All of your answerers where very helpfull :)

A. I first created an app (Cheater! - Math. On the Play Store) with Google's AppBuilder, but they discontinued the program in December 2011. However, others have since come up with programs to make apps:

http://www.andromo.com/
http://www.apps-builder.com/en/home
http://www.appsbar.com/

You will not be able to create an "amazing" app with one of these softwares though. For all the features, you really do have to learn the code (Java to be specific). With these programs, you can build a fairly user-friendly, simple app like an app that solves simple math equations (Cheater! - Math). They are difficult to make games with since games are so involved. For this, I learned Java and used AndEngine (some files that make it easy to write games) and developed Expansion (also on the Play Store).

Furthermore, Cheater! - Math, priced at $.99, has been up for a year and a half. I have 38 downloads, totaling about $26. After the $25 registration fee, I have made $1 profit in over a year. Expansion, however, has both a free version (with ads) and a paid version. It's been up for about a month and has over 50 downloads (mostly free version). From the ads, I've made about $0.26, but downloads are better. You need a killer app (probably a game), a free version to get people hooked and a paid to get money, and, most importantly, patience. Cheater! - Math took about a month to develop. Expansion in its entirety took about 2 months.

If you're serious about writing apps, you can't beat these tutorials:

Roughly 200 6 minute tutorials. By 50 (about 6.5 hours), you feel confident enough to make your own app. For game development, start with those tutorials, then check out:
andengine.org

I myself am a moderately-advanced (not quite advanced), self-taught programmer and am more than happy to answer any questions you have along the way. Email me at reese@planetpratt.com for more information.
