My own submission is that it is better to leave in someone country rather than going to other countries to huzzle. It is only the infrastructural difference and hopefully one day a better government will be in place and create good institutions and even Nigerians in diaspora will be agitating to come home. By then all issues of bad roads , erratic power supply, good portable water would have been a history and Nigeria will be the real giant African has our rightful position

Congratulations!

Bros, pls no forget your boy on this tin o ... it is about what I wrote below.

Hi Bros, thank you so much for your many helps. I bought the flashlight app. Now I am stuck on how to publish it. Seems they talk about reskining or editing or so. Though the documentation is their, explanatory though but my head never settle well. Please, how did yu get about yurs as a starter? I just need ideas. Abeg no forsake your boy here o. I have decided to get through with this, and I am gonna forge ahead by fire by thunder. Please, help more. I am not considering paying any developer for this though. Thanks.

This is what's written in the document in the app package (it is a zip folder)


Best Flashlight HD + Strobe with Admob ads
DOCUMENTATION

This is a flashligh app that doesn't require any editing in the code(no programming knowledge required to edit).
To import the project to eclipse , go to
1-) File > New > Project > Android > Android application from existing code , select Flashlight
2-) Do the same for AndroidWheel-master & google-play-services_lib
3-) Right Click on Flashlight project inside eclipse > properties > Android (on the left sidebar) > Library > Add
and add AndroidWheel-master & google-play-services_lib
==> Import completed !

For editing do the following :
________________________________________________

1) Change Admob ids :
Go to res > values > strings.xml & change adbanner , admobid to your own ids.

2) Change app buttons,logos,icon, and background:
Go to res > drawable > then replace you PNG images with the current ones.
For the icon : go to drawable-hdpi , drawable-mdpi, and the other 2 folder with similar names.... and change the icon with yours

3) Change 'about' info in app dialog:
Go to strings.xml > and change the string named text

4) Change Website for 'our site' button
Go to src > ...> flashlight > StrobeLightConfig.java , and scroll to line 186. Replace "www.jouniapps." with your website.
e.g "www.yourwebsite.com" (including the quotations)

**NOTE** An app on playstore currently has the same app layout but different colors.It is recommended and will be better if you change the buttons and app background to avoid having problems with other developers.Chupamobile offers reskinng services so that you can get new layout for some extra money

in ur own view
Sure, that's my view but I don't think its off the mark. America is a great country, and I almost had a nervous breakdown about 7 years ago after my NYSC when I was desperately seeking for American visa. There were no jobs then but a maternal uncle who was there couldn't help me come over after all the promise and my family pledging to foot all the bills. Now, I'm into business in Nigeria earning naira & also dollars as a freelancer, my sister has been pressuring me for donkey years to consider traveling to US but I'm no longer interested. I've seen the bigger picture, I own my business in Nigeria & work at a leisurely pace, if I'm to travel to US & make it soon will mean hustling different jobs like crazy while always looking over my shoulder at bills that have to be paid. My university degree wont worth anything there & I'll probably be stuck with menial jobs! Its still my dream to touch foot in US but that will be as a tourist.

The only time Nigerians living in America will tell the truth is when they talk privately with their fellow "sufferers" like them in the US. People in Nigeria are not supposed to know what is going on because that's the only leverage they have to front their failed life in a fake way to the gullible

Earning over $100,000 in the United States is not that big when you consider tax. After tax your net pay will be shy of $70,000 for the year. You can't consider yourself a success yet, though it is a huge step to getting there

Oya, lets start!.

First of all.....go down low grin grin

Seriously,

First of all you need to get a Google Play store account and become a registered Google developer.

So i will carefully outline steps to become a certified Android developer:

Step 1:
[/b]You need to register a new gmail account. You will need this account to create a Google Play Developer Console account

[b]Step 2:


You need to have a minimum of $25 or its naira equivalent


Step 3:

You need to have a valid Debit card from any of the top Nigerian banks (GTB always works for international transactions)

Step 4:
[/b]When you have successfully created the Gmail account. visit this website:
https://play.google.com/apps/publish/signup/


[b]Step 5:

Scroll down in the website and click the blue "Continue to Payment" button

Step 6:

Enter the required payment details

Step 7:

After the payment has been validated fill out the remaining required information like your phone number, The name of your developer comany. e.t.c

Step 8:

The payment takes about 48 hours to process. Congratulations! you are now an Android developer.



I would work you through skinning the app and signing the app with a release keystore key when you have successfully created your playstore account!.

Congratulations again!



If you are having problems with creating an account just follow this video step by step. Shikenna

Right here is the problem with nigeria, everyone wants to be dangote and otedola. This is why kidnapping and corruption is rife. How can you conclude that $70k after tax is nothing? The silly guys with their useless personal business with capital base of like N500k that can't even account for it's profitability would bashing someone with a take home of $3k per month...timesup324, God is watching you in 3D

Who is quoting? That's the Bureau Of Labor Statistics. That's the United States government, that's the US. state department. That's not an opinion or CNN network or Fox news views. That's a complete and 100% accurate data of what people in the US. make. Every single job in the US. is listed there

Like I said before, I don't know the kind of people you roll with. I know a lot of guys who are accountants CPAs and their wives are either mid school teachers or nurses in the US. Using your link, combine their incomes and come and tell me if they are not financially comfortable.

slowpoke! Bow down to your boss and beg for more knowledge and information. The total US. labor work force is 160 million and 7% is just over 11 million people. Meaning over 11 million people make over $100,000 annually and the other 150 million people make less than that. All the profession you mentioned are not even up to one million you dumb dotard. Now you sound so stupid and dumb for not paying attention when your maths teacher was teaching back in high school. You are a disgrace to education and should be sent to an animal camp

no programmer earns 90,000 dollars per month on codeacademy.i think you mean 90000 per year

to earn that much you need to be the owner of an out sourcing company,founder or CTO of a middle size or large company like google

is that brother really earning 90,000 dollars per month even on outsourcing sites you dont earn up to that per month as a single individual except you have a company that is bidding for a large contract,

i hope you read what i wrote

codeacademy founder doesnt earn 90,000 dollars per month.where is your proof

america have lot of programmers but they are expensive so companies like microsoft or google bring in cheap labour from india on H1B visas.

Nasa is a very sensitive agency and employs only US citizens.
