I will plough on for now with these Codelabs tutorials.

I think their aims are good, and they do seem to be methodical, but
there are typos that really shouldn't be there.

Well, here's where I am up to (or mired in).

I have now completed just parts 1 and 2 of the first Codelabs beginner's
app. There are typo's, which indicate a lack of proof reading or testing
on a beginner.
There also appears to be at least one bug in Android Studio where the
textAlignment attribute of textView doesn't appear in the full list of
its attributes. I had to ask for help elsewhere to get past this after
wasting days searching for it. From looking at related questions, it
appears that some people on AS 3.2.1 see this attribute, others don't.
Maybe different builds behave differently?
Using the gravity attribute to centre the text in textView has the
effect of making the Blueprint and Design images different. I haven't
really got time to dig into why this is or whether it should happen.

In the process of getting here, I have triggered two more fatal errors
in AS. I have now started to allow the program to send off these error
reports.

My plan now is to attempt to write or steal some code to make Codelabs 1
do more exciting things, while carrying on simultaneously to Codelabs 2.
Progress will remain very slow, but I feel I am gradually learning a
small amount.
