How do I link my gmail contacts to my android phone?

All my contacts just all suddenly disappeared, gmail still has them all, but now I need to export them from my gmail account to back into my My Touch android phone. Can someone please tell me how? Step by step would be great Thnks

Answer by Guk
*Log into the Gmail account where the contacts are stored.

*Once logged in go to the main menu on the phone and select the contacts icon.

*Under contacts select the menu/options icon to bring up a list of available options. Under this list you will see an option for accounts.

*Select accounts, this will bring up all of the active e-mail accounts set up on the phone. Under the list of e-mail accounts select the Gmail account.

*Once the account is selected turn on the sync contacts option.

*Now that the account is synced with the phone all of the contacts will be transferred to the device.

I am new to coding. I don’t know any languages. I would like to learn how to create apps for the Android OS. What are the best online sources for me to use to learn what I need to do to create apps?

The only experience I have with looking at code is when I created a couple websites using Adobe GoLive. I didn’t write the html myself but at least it isn’t completely foreign to me.

Learn Java.

Download the Android SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and the IDE Eclipse http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ – get the one for Java. Follow the Quick Start instructions on the Android SDK download page.

Here is how to make a simple android app, its for Mac, but its pretty much the same process for windows. http://ujihisa.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-to-make-android-application-on-mac.html

The Android SDK uses Java. So java is where you are going to want to start.

——-First you will want to learn the basics of java through online tutorials:
http://eclipsetutorial.sourceforge.net/totalbeginner.html
–This is a video tutorial I find very nice, very beginner friendly, it’s about 3 and a half hours
–The reason I want you to use Eclipse is that there are Android Developer Tools for Eclipse
–Once done here search Google for more java tutorials and click on appropriate links

——-To install Eclipse and Java
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~pattis/15-1XX/common/handouts/javaeclipseinstallation.html
–Don’t worry about versions just grab the latest

——-Then look through the developers guide from Google to learn about the Android framework and API
