Over the weekend I was messing around with trying to access my phones camera through an Android app and try take a picture. I've never worked in Java and the extent of my mobile experience has been using Cordova.
I started to notice that no matter how many tutorials I worked with or sites I visited so many were quite badly done or simply were old and wouldnt work with my current Android Studio 2.* Even when I actually got something working Android Studio threw a notice that I shouldn't use *.*.camera as it was deprecated and that I should use *.*.camera2
So is there a reliable site I can use with up-to-date tutorials?
Even the introductory tutorials @ https://developer.android.com/training/index.html are not very well documented. I landed up going through the start and then decided to jump to the camera section and it doesn't explain things properly. If by some chance I have to follow every single step before getting to camera that's quite stupid cause I dont need to learn about multi-language support etc. I just need to write a basic app that opens the camera and takes a picture. If a section like using the camera has a dependancy on another section then again, it should be documented.
