Lately in my free time I’ve started to learn Flex Hero to be able to develop mobile applications for Android devices in Flex. I’ve downloaded Flash Builder Burrito from Adobe Labs, which already consists Flex Hero SDK, so I could immediately start developing my first Flex Android application. It’s quite new area and there is lot of articles, tutorials, examples about Android application development in Flex Hero. I’m collecting links for me and for you as a source of help and knowledge base for developing Android applications in Flex.
