There are now a multitude of Shopify Android apps in the Google Play store, offering merchants a wide range of options for building their business on the go. While many of these apps are excellent, some don't quite measure up to the high standards set by Shopify. In this blog post, we'll take a look at some of the best Shopify Android apps available and outline what makes them so great. We'll also discuss some of the top features that should be considered when choosing an app for your business. Keep reading to learn more.

Where To Get Help If You Get Stuck?
If you get stuck anywhere in this tutorial, please ask for help on the Shopify Community forums. I or someone else will probably be able to help. The support team at Shopify is often very helpful as well but sometimes takes a little longer than the community.
How Is This Series Organized?
This series of articles is broken down into three main parts. Each part covers one component of building an online shop with Shopify - products, collections, and pages. Within each article, we start by looking at what our final product should look like so that you can see what we are aiming towards. Then we build up to that goal using easy-to-understand code in baby steps.
Each article will build on the previous articles adding a little more to what we have already created. If you understand the concept being introduced, then it should be easy for you to follow along and not feel lost - keep going. As a general rule, if this is your first time programming, try not to get too bogged down by the details of what is going on - instead, focus on understanding exactly what each line of code does so that when I introduce a new concept, you won't feel completely confused as to how everything works together. Once you have programmed something yourself, chances are pretty good that you will be able to figure it out again, even if it's been six months since the last time you looked at that piece of code.
What Is Programming?
Programming is a way for you to tell a computer to do specific tasks for you when given certain information from the user. What I mean by this is that when someone visits your website and clicks on a button to add an item into their shopping cart, you will write code that tells the computer exactly what to do in that instance. We already have two lines of code written in our index.html file in part one, telling it what happens when someone presses the "+" button - we want it to take them back to our products page. And in Part Two, we added another line of code telling the browser where to go when someone wants more information about a product, etc.; you get the point.
In the end, programming is just a bunch of instructions that tell a specific device (computer) what to do under certain circumstances. With those instructions, you can accomplish really amazing things. In our case, we will use those instructions to sell stuff in an e-commerce shop.
What Do I Need To Get Started?
To make this tutorial series as easy as possible, I have outlined exactly what software and hardware you will need before getting started. You can download all required programs by clicking one of the links below: Java JDK - Use version 7. If you find out later that your computer can't run Java 7, skip down to step 8, where I show how to configure your computer for Java 6 instead.
Eclipse IDE - This is the main software we will be using to write all of our code. You will need a free student developer license for the Eclipse IDE in order to follow along, but don't worry; it's easy to get. Android SDK - Lets us run and test our apps on an android device or emulator. If you haven't already installed these programs, feel free to download them now.
