any one interested on helping with an app?

so as the title says i'm looking for anyone who would like to help me create an android game app.
i know this is a c++ forum, but it seems people can ask any questions here.

i am a beginner in this, but i am making progress. I've already started the app but since this is new to me, it would be great to get some help on some parts and opinions.

this game is just for practice.. not doing it for profit or anything
let me know if you're interested
thanks

I wouldn't be able to help with the actual coding of the app since I am not familiar with android development but would be more then willing to help answer any questions you might have on game design concepts and how things are implemented and stuff like that.

Just post it on it this forum and I am sure me or someone else here can help with it. A lot of the concepts used in game programmer are usually platform dependent or language dependent.
im glad that people seem to be the least afraid to ask questions here, I think we are the least pretentious coding forum on the net, im trying to learn android too but I wont be much help to anyone for a while, im busy learning the new language, if you get to it too im sure I can then be more useful because i cvan compare what you have done to what i have.

i would help, but im terrible with java and dont know any of googles api
Thanks for offering to help but it is mostly the code i would help in.
okay Im getting better at this I have made a new app called "animal button" you press a button and it randomly chooses an animal and outputs an image with its name.

Animal button.
Android threading is wacky, its like java but with things you cant do so you have to work around, Its very hard to debug because there's many things it could be considering your doing everything allready on a thread :/

nothing I do is thread safe :(
