The tutorial I was searching to customise my website to a mobile view😍. Crystal clear instructions! Thank you!!

[NatarajanGanesan]

Very invaluable app. Follow every second of the video closely and make sure the prompts show up when you type in the commands. It worked for my site. This is the first time I have ever built an app successfully for a site.

An explanation while the commands are being typed helps you understand the purpose of each step.

Now to build an APK and happily pass it around :)

Congrats.

Everything worked perfect for me! Many thanks for valuable tutorial that saved me many hours of learning all those details.
I built my first application just repeating the actions from the video, so it was literally plug-n-play.

Now the only issue is that the content could not be zoomed-in as in ordinary mobile browser.
How this action could be enabled?

Thank you for the tutorial. It is a little out of date, but put me on the right track and a few adjustments worked perfect.

Really it helped me to learn android studio 😁, very clear explanations. In other video, they wont tell the reasons. Usually i wont comment and like a video. i got impressed by your coding...
My Biggest Request " There are lot of video to describe how to make whatsapp sticker Application. But there is no video to customise our app with more styles and colours, splash image, put options... Please make a tutorial video for that.. ❤️

[vijaypanday]

Thank you for this tutorial! Is there a way to make a video play on full-screen? And how do you make the app go to landscape mode? Thank you again

[SkillUpPaji]

Hi Mohit - First off, I'd like to thank you for the fantastic video. I was developing a similar app; however, I got stuck with one thing. My website has one page where users upload images for background verification. I couldn't find a way to allow the application to access the media files and upload them on the website. Do you have any idea about this?

[Javed_CreatiVerse]

Fantastic explanation. But I am not a developer. For people like me, can I request for a notepad with the codes I can just copy and paste?

[nayeemkhan]

Tqs to share ur experience and its really usefull to me and onemore thing can i launch this app in playstore may i know its possible becuz user can get this app easily. waiting for ur fruitful rply??

[ZdravkoOpaltchenov]

Hello The Penguin Coders, for me everything is ok as shown in the tutorial (only this was a problem :) <activity android:name=".MainActivity" android:exported="true">)
I found that once the app is started and web page is loaded there is no refresh, so when i change something in the webpage its not present in the app, i found only cache clear will refresh the data. Is it possible to make another tutorial for example how to add a button for refresh in the top blue line where the app name is or any other approach?

[umeshmysoreshivaraju]

This video has come very clear, step by step.. excellent...

[FaezFarihin]

[SuhasGokhaleSangli]

I have a question, my website offers some pDFs that a user can download, now when I covert my web site to an App will this PDF download functionality will be preserved or else?
