The first 18 min are great explanation of what's happens in the Android development in general. BTW you are a great teacher. Thank you for this course.

[strictlyunreal]

For anyone that wants to follow this tutorial, you might be wasting your time. I just realized I did. Go to minute 27:00, he points to a file that does not exist in the repository at the moment. See other comments as well.

[c.b.]

Splendid explainations! Well done, Ryan.

[himujjalupadhyaya]

This is a co-incidence. I was looking for an android development tutorial with Kotlin and this comes out just in time. This is super co-incidence

[sudani]

Thank you for this course Kotlin language will be the future in Android applications

[davdavid]

The image of the rocket is missing from the repo.

[gamingwithus_yt]

Thank you my freind for this great tutorial before I only focus on full stack web dev and desktop dev I mostly build neural net applications and never focused on mobile but now you have motivated me for mobile dev too. Thnks again for this great tutorial.

[jasonmaccallum]

This channels deserves more recognition

[sarelfirgany]

if u can make another advanced one it will be really great, we need to practice more and more . thanks a lot

[tomershmaya]

The rocket_one.png and aslo the xmls (suppose I wanted to go on without the png) are missing from the github repo. The same goes for fragment_login.xml that you edit later, and it seems that all the files you're working on the tutorials are actually missing.

[ProgrammingwithPeter]

Wish I had this when I was on school :( needed to develop an application..

[MK-ylwp]

Thank you for this video, I refer to it often.
I like Mr. Kay's teaching style and the code
explanations! May I please request a video
explaining the workings, operation, implementation
and use of the multi-thread aspect of
Android OS/concurrency/dispatchers etc.?
Thanks!

WOW! Android has changed! I moved away when Kotlin started catching on because I didn't like the way that Android was playing big brother and making the choices for what was supposed to be an open-source community of developers. I remember hearing about Jetpack (it was brand new), but we had a completely different API. I do remember hearing about a change in the directories that an app has permission to write in, but other than that Ive stayed away. I can't believe how much things have changed. It is a whole different platform now!

[rishabh.malviya]

I'm honoured to be a subscriptor pf your channel, sir.

[TheCodeRank]

It always help me to grow as a web developer

[stevenfoust]

Am I not supposed to download the repository? Because, it's mostly not matching the files in this video.

[HostDotPromo]

Been using Expo but it seems like its not the best way?

[gauravchaurasiya]

Can you make the video on elasticsearch and use mysql query for get the data from it .means if we want the search my like same mysql

[enriquemerino]

What background knowledge do I need to understand better this tutorial?

[TZCoder]

All the files are there in the repository, make sure you are going to the repo in the video and not the one linked in the video notes. This is a pretty advances tutorial I would say because of all the architecture stuff + firebase & I think the decision to supper separate everything in their own files makes this kind of thing pretty difficult to follow but we will see.
