I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but i looked for a new 2D game engine and decided that i want to use Mini2Dx. It is a 2D Java Game Engine which has some already prebuilt features like UI-Elements, Particles, etc. The engine itself is based on LIBGDX.
Even though i really want to use it, I can't find any tutorials. Except for a spanish tutorial, that I don't understand.

Thank you!
Sadly mini2Dx is not in trends so don't have video tutorial in English.
But you can use documentation on his github wiki also you can check this game for reference that is sample game of mini2Dx.
There is also active community on his reddit page, that may help you in your development.

I began with Java a while ago and I liked it very much. I made an application where you can add animals to a MySQL database, and that worked. I would like to extend this application like I would make a web application (my programming knowledge originates from webdevelopment). So I would do CRUD-operations, make an adminpanel. I have looked on YouTube, but there are no walkthroughs on a full application on there.
Is there a tutorial, somewhere on the internet, with step-by-step instructions on making a full application? I would like things like a login etc., but I can't seem to find good examples or tutorials.
Well what you want is difficult to get because many people would use the common games -- so i will suggest you visit Derek Banas or the new Boston and learn more. Good luck.
I'm currently using libgdx and I am looking for a way to modify the frame/window. I'm looking through google for maybe tutorials and examples but I'm not really sure what to search for. What would be the correct term to look and if anyone does have any examples/tutorials then I'd appreciate them posting them.
This is for desktop.
On the desktop Libgdx uses LWJGL to access OpenGL and desktop APIs. You should be able to use LWJGL APIs from your desktop backend if you need to.
You will have to be much more specific about what you want to "modify" about the "frame/window" if you want a more precise answer.
Recently I have started playing with google app engine and eclipse trying to create a simple java app. The problem is that the "guestbook" example given today in the official GAE website is is slightly different, more complicated and I struggle to remake the example on this video which you most probably already have seen:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3GT4-m_6RQ
If anyone have seen this code on some other website or know any other resources such as books, journals, articles, etc. that will help me to recreate the example on my own, this would be much appreciated.
This is the best for any beginner.

I know similar questions have been asked before but i think this is slightly different. for about a year Ive been learning Java. I have been building a few applications on the desktop using my-eclipse and swing GUI. Now i want to start programming for the android. I understand how to do what i want in Java but it all seems very different on android. Does anyone know of any good tutorials or videos out there with step by step instructions showing examples of android applications so that i can learn and build off of them? Most of my programs are simple and for the most part i just need to understand how to interact with the interface (IE the buttons, label or text views i think they call them and so on). I've searched all day and I cant find anything good.
I found this quite use full apart from the tutorials from the developers site.
If you are looking for advanced tutorials , you can try here.
for the most part , once you are trying a specific application , a google search could get you a relevant tutorial.
goodluck.
ps. It helps to read dev guide before you begin to write programs for android.
You should have a look at the Android API demos. They include a lot of simple examples which access special problems/tasks.
A more complex 'productive' application is the Android app for the I/O conference. It's Open Source - so you can have a look 'inside'.
the Android developers site has a great dev guide and tutorials to try out. the dev guide can be found here. The tutorials can be found here.
I highly recommend "Android Programming Tutorials" by Mark Murphy - http://commonsware.com/AndTutorials/. I found the step-by-step tutorials to be very helpful, and it does focus on teaching Android development rather than Java.
I've got one of those newfangled Android phones and want to do some app development for it and am looking for guides. I haven't really found anything that looks promising for both an Android newbie and a Java newbie though. I know PHP and code in it professionally as well as a basic smattering of some other languages so any 'for dummies' resource is probably not for me.
Are there any advisable books, resource sites or tutorials that focus on both these aspects (rather than one or the other) that assume you know nothing but not treat you like an idiot?
Thanks.
First of all, start with Google's own documentation. Its basic but a good start.
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html
Then you may wish to progress via various books.
I would recommend the set of books written by a Mark Murphy who is a regular on stack overflow. They are digital downloads and are kept up to date. Checkout http://commonsware.com/
For Java, since you already understand programming, I would recommend Sun's tutorial
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/
For Android I agree with Tom but also recommend the notepad tutorial:
http://developer.android.com/guide/tutorials/notepad/index.html
I'm also in the same boat, except I'm a .net developer trying to pick up Android. The best place to start seems to be the Google getting started. I've not found any other large resources for Android, but IBM have a couple of good articles, particularly this run-down on working with XML with Android.

Also, here's an excellent book with some great examples:
