Introduction

Let’s start off by saying that I am NOT a programmer, nor do I want to become one.  I recently purchased an android phone (Moto Droid) and like most people, I began downloading lots of apps from the Market.  I really enjoyed the sound boards, however I was unable to locate boards for certain movies/TV shows.  After lots of searching on Google, I was surprised that there was nowhere to download a sound board “Template”.  Developing apps for the Android is done with a program called Eclipse in combination with the Android SDK and an add-on for Eclipse called ADT .   

This site is going to show you to make a basic sound board in windows.  It’s not pretty, but it works.  If you want a sound board that is pretty and has pictures and different screens, this is probably not the right page for you and you should go read up on Java programming.  The code used for this sound board was put together by DroidNova specifically from their tutorial “Creating Sound Effects in Android: Part 1” which was written by Stephen Flockton. Any questions or comments about this tutorial can be sent to Daxx
