I like your speaking pace! No unnecessary explanations, everything you need to know straight to the point. Good job, keep it up :)

I really appreciate the effort and time that you are putting into all these tutorials. Thank you.

In the time of what you covered in these videos has been way more useful than trying to learn android from the recommended tutorial on the developer page! Cant wait for you to make more

Hello everyone, If you are getting an error "ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!" when trying to run the simulation, I solved this issue in the following steps:


1. Enable the Intelx86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM Installer). To get to this, on Android Studio, go to Tools->SDK Manager->SDK Tools (Tab towards the top). See if "Intelx86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM Installer)" is Installed and checked. If not, do so.

2. Check if your processor has Virtualization Technology. I have an Intel processor and was able to look up my specific processor on the Intel website to see if it does have it.

3. Enter your BIOS settings to enable your Intel Virtualization Technology. This may be different depending on what machine you have but this is can be a quick Google search. For my Windows machine, I was able to enter this through the Update and Security-> Recovery settings.


After setting your BIOS settings, it'll restart your computer and then try to run the simluation again.

Hey! Do you mind making a video about face recognition on android application? I can't seem to find a proper video on it! Most videos are either outdated or on face detection! The documentation of opencv isn't very clear either ><

Nice touch with the voice treatment, but the voice panning feels like it was panned 20% to the right, try centering your voice in the stereo image. This balance issue could be caused by different dry/wet settings on a multi-mono reverb plugin, so try using a linked or mono to stereo plugin instead. There are many possible ways to fix it though.. but the stereo reverb gives it a nice spread/auditorium effect, so I wouldn't just mono the whole thing. Thanks for the video!

When I try to run it, I get a message saying my anti-virus program may be impacting my build performance, And then it states a few directories below it that may be causing issues. Im new to this but do you have any info on correcting this? Thanks

I'm really confused by one thing. I don't have the text view in content_main.xml. I'm not sure if I did some wrong settings but I have a fragment in content_main.xml and I have text view in another file with a button "next" attached to it in a file named "first fragment". I have a file name "second fragment" which shows another screen with a button names "previous". I'm not sure if its something I did accidentally or is it because of the new update

[edselludovice]

I am gonna have to download the application first then I will go back to this video. Thanks for this man!

[samranoman]

Whats the difference between activity main xml file and content main xml file? Both have options to add views from palette

[josiahsingerman]

Why do you recommend kotlin over java? (exept for the fact that it is newer) I'm a beginner programmer and started to learn java because i thought it would be more useful. Anyway, whats your advise should I keep learning Java or switch to kotlin?

[blessingadi]

when i tried running the test app i created i kept getting the error "My Application keeps stopping " please can someone help me with a fix

[justplainc]

I was just thinking about how it would be hard to find a newer version of these tutorials based on your 2018 version. This is a serious save, many thanks.

Great videos this isn't the first one I've watched. I'm having a bit of an issue installing android studio, especially the sdk files. No matter what I do or where I place them android studio just cannot find them. I've changed everything and I've searched relentlessly on the Internet and to absolutely no avail. Do you have any suggestions? I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me

[shahriyarhussain]

The video is brief but helpful. Thank You. I think you should also mention that you are using kotlin in title.
