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

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. Hi Bill, I went through the exact _same_ process as you did! When I first noticed the Kotlin stuff was different, I rooted around, and then realized, belatedly, what looked like an image on the web page of the code was actually an "active" image, where you can switch from Kotlin on the left in the web page to Java on the right of the same web page (making it a completely different web page). The good news is that the tutorial "remembers" your selection, so you only have to do it once (if your browser remembers stuff). I had forgotten that I went through that, so I apologize for not warning you. So I've been trying to understand why code for Kotlin (which I suppose I'll have to research) didn't work in Java. Like you, I have absolutely no idea what "kotlin" is, nor do I want to worry about it, for now. Aw heck, let's do a quick searchnsee: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kotlin_(programming_language) The name comes from Kotlin Island, near St. Petersburg. It's just another language. I don't see any value in it, for we noobs, at this point in time. 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. Probably XDA Developers and other sites are good for that. For now, I'm content to do this here as the Butterfield tutorials are good. I have now got through the text based button and message build, which works, and am starting on the first Butterfield video. Good for you, Bill. Let me know if you have questions. Since I had downloaded the videos, I skipped the YouTube web page, but I just now realized that the YouTube page has LOTS of comments (like about five hundred for each video), where skimming them might help. I'm running the third video (I don't think I'll do the fourth as it covers stuff that is too advanced, I think). Just remember he is using an older version of Android Studio than we are (I'm using version 3.2.1) where some of his selections are in slightly different places (but it only took me an extra minute or two to find stuff he used). In the third video, he uses "containers" with "ListView" objects which, apparently, are now in the "Legacy" location, where parent constraint matching no longer exists ... so I'm working on that problem right now, but you will have the benefit of my solution by the time you get to that 3rd video. Let me know if you have any questions on that first video while you're running it. |

Hi Bill, I _highly_ recommend you read the comments in the video (which I had skipped until now!). For example, in the first video, some one complains that they're on AMD and that the emulator doesn't work (sound familiar?). That guy gave up, concluding that it doesn't work (it doesn't), but he didn't know that the Microsoft Emulator works perfectly instead. In the third video, I just saw this which would have saved me a few minutes "Ryan Lackie, 5 months ago ListView is under Legacy instead of Containers" One caveat is that 99 out of 100 of the comments are either o Dead wrong, or, o Written by a fifth grader This is my first time reading YouTube comments, so it's an eye opener how "dumb" most of those people are, where they mostly complain without adding any additional value (1 out of 100 adds value). I'm used to watching YouTube using the NewPipe freeware, which doesn't show comments (at least the way my settings are don't) & which doesn't have ads. https://newpipe.schabi.org/ I'll let you know when/if I have something to report that is of general use to you and anyone following in our footsteps. |

Hi Bill, Today I ran app06 successfully, after a few classic debugging issues: o http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=1682135androidstudio61.jpg Android Studio For Beginners Part 1,2,3,4 by Bill Butterfield, Jun 13, 2017 o https://youtu.be/dFlPARW5IX8 (part 1) === app03 is this video o https://youtu.be/6ow3L39Wxmg (part 2) === app05 is this video o https://youtu.be/rdGpT1pIJlw (part 3) === app06 is this video o https://youtu.be/bu5Y3uZ6LLM (part 4) Download these three pictures first (which are shrunk to 640x480): o garlic.jpg = http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=1017694garlic.jpg o tomato.jpg = http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=2917965tomato.jpg o banana.jpg = http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=3954162banana.jpg Note: He used peach, tomato, squash (I used garlic, tomato, banana). He's using an older version (or maybe it's the Mac) but there is no Save: o When he clicks the "Save" icon, we don't have that icon in 3.2.1 Windows He's using an older version so note that the "ListView" is NOT in: o Containers ListView But, instead, "ListView" is located, for us, in: o Legacy ListView But then there is also "RecyclerView" (which I didn't use): o Containers RecyclerView He's using an older version of Android Studio on the Mac so note that the "match_parent" doesn't exist as an option in the GUI but it is the default in the text file so just skip the GUI part when he matches that constraint. When he creates the automatic "itemAdapter", our variables differ slightly: o The 3.2.1 adapter automation uses "position" while he uses "i" He's using an older version (or maybe it's the Mac) but there is no Save: o When he clicks the "Save" icon, we don't have that icon in 3.2.1 Windows He's using an older version so note that the "ListView" is NOT in: o Containers ListView But, instead, "ListView" is located in: o Legacy ListView But then there is "RecyclerView" o Containers RecyclerView He's using an older version so note that the "match_parent" doesn't exist as an option in the GUI but it is the default in the text file so skip the GUI part when he matches that constraint. When he creates the automatic "itemAdapter", variables differ: o The 3.2.1 adapter automation uses "position" while he uses "i" So I did a global search & replace on "position" to convert to "i" o The 3.2.1 adapter automation uses "parent" while he uses "viewGroup" o The 3.2.1 adapter automation uses "convertView" while he uses "view" Notice this line with two different variables! public void onItemClick(AdapterView? parent, View view, int i, long l) { public void onItemClick(AdapterView? parent, View view, int position, long id) { I ended up manually editing to use his variables of "i" and "l". When he creates an images view, the menus are slightly different: o He uses Palette Images ImagesView o We use Palette Widgets ImagesView or o We use Palette Common ImagesView Here is the code if anyone is interested in following in our footsteps. ================================================== ========================== java: C:\tmp\android\app06\app\src\main\java\com\kiss\ap p06\DetailActivity.java C:\tmp\android\app06\app\src\main\java\com\kiss\ap p06\ItemAdapter.java C:\tmp\android\app06\app\src\main\java\com\kiss\ap p06\MainActivity.java res: C:\tmp\android\app06\app\src\main\res\layout\activ ity_detail.xml C:\tmp\android\app06\app\src\main\res\layout\activ ity_main.xml C:\tmp\android\app06\app\src\main\res\layout\my_li stview_detail.xml values: C:\tmp\android\app06\app\src\main\res\values\color s.xml C:\tmp\android\app06\app\src\main\res\values\strin gs.xml C:\tmp\android\app06\app\src\main\res\values\style s.xml ================================================== ========================== C:\tmp\android\app06\app\src\main\java\com\kiss\ap p06\DetailActivity.java package com.kiss.app06;

Do you think being a smartass towards me is somehow going to convince me to help you do anything? For crying out loud, you're working with a script based language. You aren't doing any serious 'coding' on your own here. Nobody said there was _any_ coding being done yet. Alas, there is. You *are* coding. I didn't say you weren't coding, Arlen the stupid, I said you weren't doing any serious coding. ROFL. What Bill and I are doing is "driving the car" with the passenger being an experienced driver as the PIC (namely the passenger is the tutorial). HAAHAHAHA.. ****... You are without a ****in doubt, an idiot. People like you did, but, people like you, thankfully, are not everyone. I agree with you that I'm 1 out of 1,000 in that my goal always, is to help people, where I do it for free all the time, and I collaborate when I can. I don't know what there is to agree about, Arlen, I never stated any such thing about you. I specifically meant and fully expected anyone reading to know that yourself and some other people who tried to use the emulation packages didn't know about a couple of hardware settings they might have to invoke, depending on CPU base. That's who I am. I have no idea who you actually are. I can only go by how you choose to represent yourself in this medium. Most people are the opposite of me. I wouldn't know, Arlen. I have nothing to go on. That's why all my apps will be free, with no ads, & no shenanigans. Been there, done that. Many m00ns before you, I'm afraid. Still do, infact. Did you need the url to the old DOS stuff again? As it is right now though, you aren't doing anything complicated to anyone with a programming background. You're a n00bie taking baby steps. As I said, I'm a noob. I'm not afraid to admit that I'm a noob. This is only a recent admission by you, Arlen. And, let's be frank, it's because i've left you no possible way out of that. If this thread gives other noobs a good starting point, then that's good. If the resulting code benefits them, as it did for Bill, then that's good. If we can get a simple 10-minute timer app out of this, then that's good. Which is your goal here right? Someone else, or someone other than you primarily do the work, get that timer you want up and going? That's the actual plan, isn't it Arlen? Working them up, right?

I don't know, but it doesn't matter because it worked just fine on the phone (which is what really matters). In my Butterfield2 app, I seem to have hit a problem here in that the app compiles without errors, and entering debug mode hasn't yet helped. When I hit the Google button, nothing happens on either the emulator or the phone. I don't get even the error message on either. The code checks out against yours. I haven't yet "stepped into" the code so maybe that will lead somewhere. I've now got the first Butterfield app behind me as well as the text app. I am getting more at home with the IDE, which helps a lot. -- Bill --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

Good that you're on to lesson 3 where I wrote about it over he https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.mobile.android/aW64zYeBtF0/kTkz1xIABwAJ There were about a half dozen "differences" between my code and the tutorial, but they turned out to be non issues, but do be advised that the "comments" of the Youtube page show a _lot_ of people had problems that I did not have. Like you, I'm starting to get used to this Android Studio IDE, where, for example, I'm learning that the Android Studio IDI does _not_ like when you move things around in the Windows file system! For example, see these half dozen screenshots, where I clearly have a "stale signature" of some sort. You and I both know that we never touched anything called a "signature" so it must have been done by Android Studio. All I want to do is re-do the app01 "hello world" that works: o http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=7758838androidstudio60a.jpg The first problem to overcome is that .gradle files need to be wiped out! o http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=7693773androidstudio60b.jpg But worse, there is some kind of "stale certificate" that I don't know about! o http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=9796091androidstudio60c.jpg Due to that state certificate, the emulation works but not the real phone! o http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=3263646androidstudio60d.jpg IMHO, if the IDe created this "signature", then the IDE should fix it! o http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=2938664androidstudio60e.jpg It may be something I need to do on the phone, but it's not USB debugging: o http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=4015964androidstudio60f.jpg And yet, app01 still has a stale signature (certificate?) on the phone! o http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=6803968androidstudio60g.jpg Clearly Android Studio doesn't like when you move things around in Windows with respect to this "stale signature" (whatever that is).

I'm sure the solution will be "do this and don't do that", but I'm not going to bother right now as I'll learn about 'stale signatures' when I need to figure out what a "signature" is. Anyway, I'm going to skip that last Butterfield video, which I listened to in its entirety, where it creates a list based on Oracle SQL database files. If I need to, I'll go back to that fourth tutorial, but for now I'll stop at the penultimate tutorial and move on to writing code that creates an alarm clock of some sort. I'm working on that now, but since I'm going off road, I may not be able to help you if you attack that last Bill Butterfield tutorial. But if you have questions about the penultimate tutorial, let me know. |

But if you have questions about the penultimate tutorial, let me know. Thanks, Arlen. I'll look at your other posting again when I hit problems on Butterfield 3! I discovered early on that a simple rename of something I thought was innocuous caused great problems, and that rewriting elements from scratch again was the only way to move on quickly. I know I had problems with the emulator at one stage, and that closing it down completely (i.e. stopping it and then "powering it off") let it restart in a clean condition on a rebuild of the app. I am sure you will have tried closing the app on the real phone, then removing it and doing a proper restart of the phone before re-trying the latest build. I'll watch with great interest how you get along with your timer alarm. -- Bill --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

Hi Diesel, Thank you for recognizing that I follow the common courtesy of Usenet snipping protocol which is to only quote that which I respond to. You shouldn't be thanking me, Arlen. Once again, You're doing a bit of, let's call it for what it is, lying your ass off. Again. I wrote nothing of you following ANY common courtesy, usenet, or elsewhere. I commented about your strong desire to snip and misconstrue what the other poster wrote, intentionally. Most people wouldn't be as astute as you are in noticing that I follow well established Usenet protocols since most people just lazily quote everything. No, Arlen, infact, you don't. You duck and dodge questions. You partially snip so as to bring what you've left out of context and write a completely different response to it, giving a n00bie reader the very false impression that what you wrote had much/anything to do with what the other poster wrote. Alas, there is. You *are* coding. I didn't say you weren't coding, Arlen the stupid, I said you weren't doing any serious coding. ROFL. Actually, I'm not doing _any_ coding (yet) so I'm not baking my own cake. All I'm doing is following directions (which is like following a recipe). Wow. You uhh, really don't get it, eh? I mean, you aren't playing games with me. You really DON'T UNDERSTAND what you're doing...And you seem to have no interest whatsoever in understanding it. HAAHAHAHA.. ****... You are without a ****in doubt, an idiot. I agree with you Diesel that I'm a noob. Yes, you are that too. But, I specifically and rightfully at this point I feel, called you an idiot. Are you agreeing with me that you're an idiot, or do you confuse n00b as meaning one and the same thing? Cluebyfour (here's an aspirin), they aren't. I'm sure you already know exactly how to resolve that problem. I wouldn't be able to give you an answer, I snipped your problem report, unread. -- To prevent yourself from being a victim of cyber stalking, it's highly recommended you visit he https://tekrider.net/pages/david-brooks-stalker.php ================================================== = If you feel like you've got to lead, at least get out of my way. |

That's funny, coming from you nospam, where you habitually _fabricate_ quoted content, just so that you can sound witty in your response. I only speak facts. Here's proof... Why does nospam always FABRICATE conversations... just so he can sound "witty" in response? https://groups.google.com/d/msg/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/GExRc1qrFGo/JBzdCKSSAwAJ At least I do two things, both of which are honorable: o I quote that which I respond to (and nothing more), and, o I don't _fabricate_ that quoted content like you, nospam, constantly do. You, nospam, continually fabricate quoted content just so you can respond to it. |

Report: My first "hello world" using Android Studio freeware on Windows worked just fine (in about an hour)
Here's an interesting thing.
Last night I did quite a bit on my current project in Android Studio on the Windows 10 laptop. At just after midnight, it was more or less complete, but wouldn't compile without errors for some reason. I closed the laptop lid putting it into sleep mode, as I had to be up at 5.30 today. Opening the lid at 05.40, the machine rebooted from scratch. Presumably the W10 update had either installed a W10 update silently last night, or had woken the machine during the night to do the install. Most of the work done last night in Android Studio was no longer there, so I'll have to do it all over again tonight. I know I should have done a "save all" before shutting the lid, and should be taking backups very frequently, but it still doesn't stop me being mad at Microsoft. The machine is the only one here on W10 - all the main machines have stayed with or reverted to 7 or earlier. I keep this W10 machine in the default state to be more or less in sync with the people I "support". -- Bill --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

It's well established Usenet protocol for quoting that I follow, where I deplore those who quote the entire previous post, out of either laziness or ineptness or inexperience, or whatever. At least I don't *fabricate* quoted content, which nospam has been doing for years, as is noted in this proven thread below: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/GExRc1qrFGo/9fJ7cqTIBAAJ You duck and dodge questions. This is a technical thread where I'm attempting to *add value* so that other innocent noobs to Android coding, can follow in our footsteps. You have immense knowledge, Diesel, that could help us all write any Android app we wish to write that is o Always free, and open source o Contains zero adds or other shenanigans, and, which o Performs a very simple useful function for the user That's what I'm all about, Diesel. Helping others do what I can do, and asking questions of experts when I can't do what I need to do. Then I summarize the answers, such that anyone can follow in our footsteps (as I decry the plethora of 'imaginary' solutions on Usenet). Yes, you are that too. But, I specifically and rightfully at this point I feel, called you an idiot. Hi Diesel, I agree I'm an idiot, and that you're smarter than I am. I apologize if I implied otherwise.
