Seeing as you're on the AppGameKit forum, I'd suggest buying AppGameKit V2 as it's super easy to create apps for Android. There's a demo you can try but it won't allow you to build apks but it'll give you an idea of how work and whether or not you'll like it.

AGK comes with examples, so don't overlook those because they will help you get started by showing you many basic principles.
Modifying working code is a great way to learn.
There are code snippets here in the forum too.
With the book, the examples, and the information here in these forums, you'll could be releasing your first app faster than you think.
Use the 'Search Forum' button to look for your answer before you ask, because it may already be answered saving you wait time for a response.

For sound effects, I use SFXR.

For graphics, I use Paint.NET (be sure not to click an ad if you try to download, because a lot of them look like download buttons)

Welcome, and good luck in your venture.

^ I use these guys a ton.
They have complete game kits or you can piece together individual graphics....Anything on this site must be purchased and abide by there license terms.

They sell, Sounds, 3d content as well as 2d content and much more.

If you just want to poke around...try...OpenGameArt.org

Also there Is word that TGC may be developing some Media Packs for AppGameKit ( Which I assume will not be free ) TGC always have good prices though so it shouldn't be a problem.

Welcome to the community. If you ever have any questions don't hesitate to ask on the forums.

No, you must use "Royalty Free" music and sounds. There is lots of it out there on the internet.

You can use Blender to create your 3D imagery - it is free and if you create a free account on their site, you get access to a whole bunch of free tutorials to get you started. Currently supported formats on AGK2 are .X .3ds .md3 .smd .md5 .lwo. .ac .b3d .dae .3d .lws .ms3d .blend .m3 .obj and .ago.

OR you can find royalty free 3d models to use (most you will have to pay for, but there is enough free stuff available to get you started) on sites like Turbosquid, or you can commission someone to create the models for you on sites like Fiverr.
