[Q] Question about Android

[Slacker101]

So the operating system is based off of java, correct? How complicated is the code? I have a fair amount of java experience and am tempted to look through it/experiment. I've been using ROMs and Themes for a long time and wouldn't mind trying to get into it myself.

The OS is Linux based, the apps are generally java based.

Regardless, any tips on how to get involved with/practice/learn about it?

SOME of Android is written in Java. MOST of it is written in C, with the linux kernel EXCLUSIVELY C. Android's brand of java diverges from real java more and more all the time. If java is what tickles ya, there's better places to be... like blackberry.
