ANDROID DEVELOPMENT Might Be HARDER Than I Thought

In my mobile app development computer science course, I'm learning Android Development! I thought it would be as easy as getting into Xcode and iOS Development, but I'm not so sure that's the case.

i am an android developer and i still like your videos. I don't know if you solved your problem or not but i'll give give you some clues..

1. give id to your textview and button
eg android:id="@+id/tvId"

and define them in your java file with that id.
eg. TextView tv = findViewById(R.id.tvId). Do this part in onCreate method


2. add a clicklistner to the button and you'll get an onClick method.

eg bt.setOnClickListner(new View.OnClickListner(){
//ctrl+o to override onClick method
public void onClick(View v){

//add your logic for toggling textview visibility()
//change your textview visibility. or
}
});

I love your introduction to all of you videos. Its crisp, and I like how you incorporate the footage of the camera and the typing of the title in a search bar.

Am learning iOS development and feel it's tricky since I know android development; have the same experience has your Android development

You can set an onClick identifier in XML for the button then in the java class set "alpha" of the textView to 1.0 and 0 (fully transparent, not transparent at all) whenever the button is tapped

With Android and Windows you have to expect there to be an extra step or 2. Of course its gonna take some more steps because you cant streamline it down like Apple can. Simply because Apple "has it easy" in that their software is for hardware that is made by them (you know what i mean). Android and Windows is for a countless amount of different machines and syncing that process is probably a nightmare.

U should have set the text property of Invisible and also have a method hooked up to button that shows the text back again

Nice video man! Since you are just getting started with Android development I would suggest developing in Kotlin instead of Java as it is slowly becoming the primary language for Android development. :)

Hey. Just noticed that it seems most of your highest viewed videos have very nice lighted and attractive thumbnails and short and clear titles such as “how to xxx xxx xxx xxxx”. I think it might help. And maybe reach out the “let’s build this app” channel to review your app? And maybe you can find a way to help him back as well.

[richardmelk]

Love your channel and videos. Am also taking Computer Science at school

I am an Android developer and i find iOS development very confusing. I guess i boils down to design and development philosophy i.e if a particular programming language or framework works the way your mind works then that will be better for you than any other.
To bridge that gap i use ioinc for cross platform hybrid apps, its not as fast as native development but the clients are certified and that's what really matters.

[maierdanefan]

great videos. I also learned IOS development on my own, and your channel provided wonderful information. Keep it up. And live stream sounds great.

You might have a look on android tutorials made by google with udacity. They start really begeinners friendly well too a level that might being annoying when you already understand lol.

I think it would be cool if you created a slack or discord channel for your youtube channel/community. (Since this is what a lot of other youtube developers i've seen are doing and it works great).

Bro i am android developer, its worst seriously worst..

Hey Forrest, what was the first language you learned and when did you learn it? Also how did you learn it? Thanks!

I have been doing the Udemy android course after doing some online java courses. The Udemy course is great! Yet Android studio is so frustrating I'm thinking to switch to Swift. Figuring out the "R cannot be resolved" error has sucked up too much of my time. I fix the error and it will pop up somewhere else later on for another reason. I do programming as a hobby and need something more seamless like the Apple ecosystem.

from my first day of university, they taught me java, and they taught me in such a boring way, that I did not touch any other programming language for almost 2 years, they made me hate it haha, until I discovered other languages and that's another story, the point is that I have grabbed an ugly rage to java that I can not take it away from, maybe its syntax, its IDE, or I have no idea

[Matrixprogrammmer]

i know java and looking into kotlin language now for andriod development as it can be a really good complimentary language for andriod dev. :)

[shamsudeenyusuf]

Use Relative Layout...it's easier

[StarTeamTutoriales]

I hope that the day I have to learn kotlin, I will do it with a good teacher, because at some point in my career, I will need to develop not only apps for iphone PD: As always, excellent video bro
