ProgrammingRe: Journey To Becoming A Native Android Dev (kotlin) by tmanis(op): 3:51pm On Aug 20, 2022
Update

So, i was having serious issues making progress. I couldnt get gradle build to complete successfully. also, i couldnt get my AVD (Android Virtual Device) to run on the emulator.

How I Solved -
I upgraded my laptop ram from 4GB to 8GB. Android studio freezes every single time i tried to launch the emulator, but now, it works well

As for the gradle build, i figured the tutorials i follow online dont explicitly state that the ide has to have constant internet connection, because some packages will download at build time. Before this, i tried to work offline, asper say managing data, and the tutorials just asumed your internet wiould be on

now, I can get back to work wink

Telegon:
Why did you leave java?
Okay boss

First, as mentioned here, I is the official support of Google. Java (as related to Android) is being phased out.. And I see myself ending up in on of the FAANG companies in 8-10 years, I want to be on the train getting up to speed especially Google and Netflix , not the one coming to a stop..

I actually started learning Java too. I'm self thought. I was finding it difficult to (think of ideas) and build a portfolio for myself as a backend person, portfolio projects that you don't need eclipse ide to run. I might also need a frontend person to help, if I want to do some fleshed out projects

Also, most job openings I keep seeing on LinkedIn and Twitter are always looking for Senior Java engineers... Rarely do you (I) see entry-level openings.

Full stack guys too seem more economical for small-medium companies. Why hire two people for frontend and backend, when you can get both in one

And those also have the advantage of using a framework of Javascript they are already familiar with to also handle backend...

To be frank, the reason I initially wanted to be a backend Java guy is quite lame lol, but it was because I wanted to go against the trend of majority of the people learning Javascript and becoming frontend developers... Till I got in...

I also feel like kotlin android development will leverage my experience with graphics design, and my love for consumer electronics.

I can still handle Java, if the need arises, but the simplicity of kotlin, coupled with the fact that it's the one Google is currently pushing seals the deal for me...

I just believe that one can be dynamic in this tech thing sha, and I want to explore things that catch my fancy, before I get locked in a space I don't really enjoy..

So that's it

[color=#008080]What I thought would be hard - Writing code

What is actually hard - getting the IDE and all dependencies to work initially embarassed embarassed

Tip - Leave your computer connected to the internet, some packages will still need to install and sync ,even when you already downloaded the main software cry

somebody cant even manage data[/color]

ProgrammingJourney To Becoming A Native Android Dev (kotlin) by tmanis(op):
And so it begins...

I hope to document my journey to becoming a native android developer here on this thread. Wish me luck, bosses smiley

Introduction:
- Computer Engineering graduate (Even though my memory about things that happened while i was in schoolis quite fuzzy, i just know i 'eventually' graduated - hope im not the only one feeling like this?? grin grin

- Long time graphic designer. my weapon tool of choice is the great Photoshop. i can do and undo with that software ehn, (if i do say so myself grin grin grin) i think i have a thread of my graphic design works somwhere here on nairaland

- in school, we were thought Pascal, C++, and assembly language programming (mostly theoretically though ) grin grin grin grin - like i said, i passed... sheybi if i didnt pass, i wouldnt graduate nah?? so dont look at me like that

- C (for Arduino) - I learnt this on the side while i was in school. it was a blast of fun. It was cool to see real life results of instructions given to a computer. Turning LEDs on and off, sounding buzzers, implemnting libraries for some niche sensors, diplaying info to console, led screens and 7-segment displays... alll the fun stuff

- Recently, i started studying and learning Java. i actually wanted to be a backend developer. i got courses and all... but why im switching,is story for another day grin

Now, we are here for KOTLIN and the beloved ANDROID STUDIO
