I want to develop android apps, but don't know where to start.
I already know C and C++ language. But it all got boring that adding of numbers, arrays , string , memory allocation etc.

I also checked Java syllabus, its all similar arrays, string etc.

I always wondered how kids aged 12-13, make these fabulous apps???

which fabulous apps?

if you are talking about this one >
Indian kids build apps for Android, iOS - Tech2

It sucks, it has no endearing qualities apart from the fact that kids made it, not fabulous at all. And they got help from daddy.
any other ones?

download the Android SDK, Eclipse
there are loads of tutorials online, start with any one
nope not a developer, but follow the news and these wonderkids usually have over encouraging parents and reporters who don't understand the full picture
made a small game on unity though, with a little c# scripting. Learnt by following video tutorials.

I too learned C++ first and then java, it was smooth...
And XML is real easy...
For start just make a simple calculator with GUI..
Two TextBox, 4 buttons for {+ - * /} and one TextView for result...

Java is must to know when starting App Development in Android. Trust me, i thought it will be easy and jumped on the boat then only i realized there is lot to be learned in app making. XML is as easy as HTML.

XML for designing app and Java for working of the app.
