Android Tutorial & Lessons 4: More XML and referencing background

Check out the discussion @ my forum for this lesson:
http://www.cornboyz.com/


What's up my peepz? (who says peepz anymore?) This lesson will get you up and running, and even if you are an absolute beginner, you can do it. Please subscribe and thumbs up the video and you will be a pro in no time

In this lesson you will learn:
-A better understanding of XML
-Adding a Button
-Find coding that even when we don't remember the exact coding
-Basics of the Linear Layout
-New XML functions
-Adding our picture to the background of our app
-Running our program on the emulator

This video is the 4 in a web series that I am creating to help you learn Android programming so you can create apps and eventually how to learn to write games for android phones. I want to explain things in a way that everyone can understand, even if you have no experience with Java, XML, C, OpenGL, or as a matter of fact, any other programming language.

If you do have a lot of experience with programming, these first videos will be really slow for you, but my goal is to get everyone sprinting, but for now we have learn to crawl.
