Default Report: My first "hello world" using Android Studio freeware on Windows worked just fine (in about an hour)

Thanks for letting me know you're doing fine with that first app! (It
makes me feel good to have helped you, as you had also helped me.)


OK, call me stupid! I have only just sussed out that, in the text based
"official" first app, the words KOTLIN and JAVA above the code were
actually switches that select the code shown by the website. So I've
been trying to understand why code for Kotlin (which I suppose I'll have
to research) didn't work in Java.

I've been trying to look up java words and phrases as I've come across
them. It was trying to understand "val" that led me up various garden
paths before I finally came to.
It possibly doesn't help that my main java book (remember them?) is
dated 2002.
I am still surprised that there appears to be no sort of forum catering
for Android Studio, and how I still haven't found any living java usenet
lists.

I have now got through the text based button and message build, which
works, and am starting on the first Butterfield video.
