PeaceJoyLove: Bro I've gone through your Thread and you have some knowledge and insights to whatever you're saying, nice one. Also the guy you're talking about is actually a nice individual and please just take a chill pill cos going through your comments , you're more verbally attacking way more than he is of which isn't good for the kind of person you're projecting yourself to be. 5 Likes |

ClixMaster:I have got no hate for the dude whatsoever. But as far as I can tell the dude is still a struggling web developer. And not as the way he portrays himself. Peace |

Etinosa1234:What kind of apps do you have in your portfolio? Forget Java, do you know Kotlin? Have you learnt the latest Android Jetpack architecture libraries and APIs like Databinding, Livedata/Kotlin flows, Room, Retrofit, Kotlin Coroutines, WorkManager, Firebase(mBaaS)...? Jetpack Compose is production ready this month and will totally change the UI game, have you started learning it? Android is evolving so fast...you need to stay in the loop to have a chance at landing a job. 3 Likes |

Grandlord: Like I swear Android native is frustrating, which is why I feel Flutter should be the alternative for quick jobs 4 Likes |
Re: Dear Developer, Our Journey Will Be Different And That's Okay. by Grandlord: 7:22pm On Jul 08, 2021 |
qtguru: Bro no lie. But with the new Jetpack Compose which will be certified production-ready this month, native is going to be as exciting as Flutter. It was the most encouraging news from the last Google I/O. Jetpack Compose is basically like writing Flutter with Kotlin instead of Dart. With Compose you can write your declarative UI on the fly. I can't believe I spent so much time trying to understand a concept like RecyclerView when you can just do it with LazyLists in Compose and go your way! |
Re: Dear Developer, Our Journey Will Be Different And That's Okay. by Grandlord: 7:23pm On Jul 08, 2021 |
qtguru: Flutter is perfect for freelance jobs but bigger companies still prefer Native though. |

Grandlord: I've learnt firebase already.. I used it for one of my apps.. I'm learning kotlin presently... I'll take note of the ones u mentioned also.. Thanks for notifying me 3 Likes |
Re: Dear Developer, Our Journey Will Be Different And That's Okay. by Grandlord: 8:25pm On Jul 08, 2021 |
Etinosa1234: Great bro. I believe you've really grasped the authentication, cloud messaging and firestore aspects of Firebase. Kotlin should take you max 2 weeks to really learn the syntax and the Kotlin vocabulary...since you already know Java. Other technologies are core Android stuff. I'd suggest you look into Jetpack Compose as it's going to replace XML for UI design, going forward. Master the MVVM architecture pattern, as that's the official architecture from Google. You can also learn design patterns like strategy, observer, facade, and factory because they're commonly used in app design. Google 'android Kotlin fundamentals codelabs' and get to learn from the official Google tutorials so you can learn the latest stuff from the horse's mouth. |
Re: Dear Developer, Our Journey Will Be Different And That's Okay. by Etinosa1234: 8:52pm On Jul 08, 2021 |
Grandlord:Yeah... I did all this... Seems I omitted that cloud messaging part... Will look it up soon I've started already sef... I dont plan staying long on it before moving to Kotlin for Android I feel I was misinformed to go for Java last year .. Well no knowledge is a waste
Omo... All this things don dey plenty ooo... Na money I dey find Sha... So I go just grasp the basics and start building ![]() Pls are u also an Android developer? 1 Like |
Re: Dear Developer, Our Journey Will Be Different And That's Okay. by Grandlord: 9:53pm On Jul 08, 2021 |
Etinosa1234:The cloud messaging is for notifications functionality. If your app doesn't need it then maybe skip it. Java knowledge is not a waste. I learnt Java myself and I use it for leetcode now. It's also easier to migrate your codebase from Java to Kotlin if you already know Java. Sure...you can start freelancing if your clients don't demand too much sophisticated functionalities beyond what you learnt. But that's not always the case and you'll have to go back and learn what you didn't. Though it's a lot more motivating to learn if you're making money from it ![]() Yeah, Android dev. 2 Likes |
Re: Dear Developer, Our Journey Will Be Different And That's Okay. by Etinosa1234: 12:49am On Jul 09, 2021 |
Grandlord:Ohh... I see.. I'll still make an effort to learn it
Ehen... Boss... On Android studio, there is an option to convert Java code to Kotlin ... Can't I just do such even if I know the basics of Kotlin already... I'm so comfortable in Java already I dey fear to reach that leetcode sef.. make my depression nor pass this stage
Ohh.. I'd have liked to have ur contact so that I can reach when I have problems on Android Do u freelance or u have a remote job? |
