Any Tips for Writing a Google Gadget / Google Android App?
I'm going to be starting on a project building a Google Gadget and a Google Android with similar functionality.
I've read through a bit of the documentation, but before I start I thought I'd ask if anyone has any tips they'd like to share to make the job easier.
I program in lots of different languages, so I don't think it'll be too hard, but are there any traps for the unwary ?

What is a "Google Android"? I assume you mean an Android application to run on the Android operating system. The first thing I suggest is that you should read through the documentation enough to get a basic understanding of the platform.
There are already plenty of questions on here asking the same thing you have. Just take a look at this question for a good starting point.
