I'm a rank newbie to Arduino programming, most of my programming experience was in solder and to a lesser extent in Basic.
Hi,
You don't need to learn Android programming to control your Arduino. Check out pfodDesigner
http://www.forward.com.au/pfod/pfodDesigner/index.html
pfodDesigner lets you build custom Android Menus and then generates the Arduino sketch that servers them up, via pfodApp, and handles the users button presses. You only need to add the action code to the sketch.
Here is an example menu designed by pfodDesigner. You can format the colour, text, number of buttons, font size and font style.
No Android programming required.
