Android Apps - Posted By Ross (admin) on 23rd May 10 at 6:48pm
I've been trying out some things in Java for building Android apps over the last couple of days. And from that I must say that I'm not overly fond of coding in Java {Sad} Although that is probably more through frustration - I've gotten too used to being able to do whatever I need in PHP without too many problems. Its hard to go back to being a total newbie {Tongue Out}

Anyway, to give this a point, has anyone else had to go back to being a newbie at something? Or has anyone got any experience with or pointers for me for
android apps/java? {Grin}

I'm going to be looking into Android over the Summer (read: when I can be bothered!). But yea, I always learn by coding something that I want, and then getting comments/feedback! {Smile}

Well, seeing how 100% of the coding at my current job is done in Python/Django, which I have no previous experience with; I've been feeling like that for about a month now. {Tongue Out}

The result of over 6 hours of coding this week has resulted in an "app" which reads the contents of an XML file and prints it out a very plain way (which even now has bugs in it). A task which would have taken less than 10 minutes for me to do in PHP {Shocked}

@ Michael: I'm looking forward to being able to create some cool apps - if I can learn how {Unsure}
