Help creating a simple yet life saving app

[androinewbi]

Greetings,

I need help creating a simple app that opens to a specific image (a screenshot that I have) with a live time and date situated on it. Basically, when I open the app, I want to see a fixed image with the time running, and when I press return, the app closes.

Here's an illustration: https://i.imgur.com/J4kEEbp.jpeg

Could you please guide me on how to code such an app ?

Thank you all.

Thank you @ocnbrze for your message.

Unfortunately I don't have any knowledge when it comes to android coding and developing.

The thing is, the "app" I want to create is so simple that spending countless hours learning the basics of coding just to make it isn't worth it. I was hoping to find someone that's so experienced with developing, he could make this app in 2 seconds, or give me the exact steps (i.e codes or blueprint) to do it myself.

Luckily, a good friend of mine was able to achieve it on html, which means it requires internet for the date and time to be live. But, I was hoping for it it to be on the phone (app and not web page).

There are some Android app creators, that claim to not require any coding. One of those maybe suitable for something simple.

something like that will not be free, if you want a developer to do the hard work for you. even someone was to give you the steps, you will still need the hardware and software setup.

this will give you some idea on what it takes to start from an an app idea to a working product:

i would take the time and learn it yourself, especially if the app is simple enough.

i doubt getting someone here or elsewhere with your idea would truly work. you have to worry about scams or individuals that might steal your idea for themselves. a safer way would be to hire a professional to do the work, but i doubt that will be cheap.

I would definitely get an app development agency to sort this for you.
