    Stay with Samsung, or not?

    I've owned Samsung devices ever since I can remember. At the moment, I have a Galaxy S8. I'm not being biased, but it's probably the best phone I've had. I really like the look, and feel. The screen always impresses me. It's just beautiful IMO. I'll be ready to upgrade soon. I was thinking of a...

    Realtime Database Alternatives

    I've been messing around with Firebase for a little bit. But, I've noticed I can't really do complex queries like I can in SQL.

    Has anyone published their app?

    I'm thinking about putting my app on the app store. But I'm just curious to see who has an app on the store and how well it's doing. I'm not expecting much as their are so many todo apps on there. But, again, I'd like to just see what happens as it's my first proper app. It's just for fun...

    Thread not working right away...

    Hi! I'm starting to experiment with connecting apps to a hosted MySQL database. I'm doing it by sending HTTP requests (post requests while passing values along) and return results in JSON format. But, for some reason, I have to click a button twice to get a result back. Inside the...

    Get view within adapter from MainActivity

    I already know how to set an on click listeners for my ListView in my MainActivity class. However, I need to get a view from my Adapter class. Usually, I do something like view.FindViewById(R.id.whatever) inside my adapter class to get a specific view. But how do I get it from my MainActivity...

    Should I give up? :(

    Hey there. I'm new here. Feel like I need to vent. At the moment, I'm just feeling really hopeless. I've been developing websites (as a hobby) for around 6 years, and because apps are becoming a thing now, I really want to get in on app development. I've took a course in android development...
