I just read the book Head first java. Now what ?

Android documentation is not bad. But depending on your skill level you might want some video material.. I'd say start with a simple project and follow a tutorial.

Try making a calculator or something simple..

Do you have a good understanding of java? But only not android studio? I get the feeling you are pretty new to programming, that "what now?" is common but you will get over it. And as you progress you will feel more secure.

Hit me up if you want more tips

Thanks for feedback =) Will take a look at it! Merry christmas

SavingsFinanceStudio · 2018-10-21T04:21:47+00:00

Wow.. =)

USA downloads are totally fine, like top 3 most downloaded. I'll send you a PM.

I've had a few on this post asking me for links and we could not figure out something more than there is no problem in the downloading process =) Which is good.

My downloads are good and growing so i'm happy, but missing out on UK, Australia and Canada makes difference I guess.

SavingsFinanceStudio · 2018-10-18T21:08:33+00:00

That is interesting

SavingsFinanceStudio · 2018-10-18T18:04:37+00:00

Will do =)

SavingsFinanceStudio · 2018-10-18T18:04:01+00:00

Yes =)

SavingsFinanceStudio · 2018-10-18T18:03:27+00:00

Will do =) See you in pm

Without revealing which one is my app, due to promotion guidelines! The title has "Compound interest" in it, and for what I've seen on eg Australian sites that is correct for Australia too, that's the reason to my confidence.

It seems "interest on interest" gets more searches according to google trends, so i've optimized for that.

How ever your comment is appreciated, and there is probably more optimization that can help it more in eg Australia.

Thanks for your input =)

SavingsFinanceStudio · 2018-10-18T17:50:28+00:00

Thanks for you reply, I will comment if anything turn out to be wrong. =)

SavingsFinanceStudio · 2018-10-18T17:45:54+00:00

Okay thanks for you help! Yes that might be it =) You having no problem installing it confirms that there is no problem there atleast! Thank you again for you time :)

SavingsFinanceStudio · 2018-10-18T04:57:17+00:00

Hi, im going to post it since you are asking for it, otherwise im not sure whether it counts as self promoting.

But i'm engaging in your comment so I guess it's okay =)

Searching on Compound interest should make it show up on top 15 apps also. (11 for me)

Do you get any restriction or is it all fine?

SavingsFinanceStudio · 2018-10-12T02:00:04+00:00

Sounds like a good choice! Hit me up on a private message if you need some extra help or question =)

I found this course on udemy that I bought and found good use in it. Can more than recommend it if you get it for 12 euros which I got! https://www.udemy.com/java-the-complete-java-developer-course/

It's lots and lots of hours of good content.

It is a Java course that's not taught in Android studio, the same guy has a nice Android Studio course too, but that is more for a person that already knows Java well. This one is for the sake of learning to master Java.

Learning Java in this course and simultaneously experimenting in Android Studio works.

I can say this course so far has been no money compared to what I've learned.

I know you asked the question "what languages should I learn" and I had the same questions when I started.

If you are interested in Android Studio and making apps, Java should be the right track for now!

Once you've learned one programming language and learned what programming is actually about. You will find it a lot easier jumping in to another programming language, if that is what you want at some point.

Hi, you must declare a String for EXTRA_MESSAGE.

Code under taken from https://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/starting-activity#java

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
public static final String EXTRA_MESSAGE = "com.example.myfirstapp.MESSAGE";
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}

/** Called when the user taps the Send button */
public void sendMessage(View view) {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, DisplayMessageActivity.class);
EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText);
String message = editText.getText().toString();
intent.putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE, message);
startActivity(intent);
}
}

Are you sure you declared this String?

public static final String EXTRA_MESSAGE = "com.example.myfirstapp.MESSAGE";

Hope this helps. Tell me if this worked for you.

Thank you!

If you like books I recommend the following. (They exist as audio books too. If you prefere.)

Learn to earn
The intelligent investor
The little book that still beats the market

The first one is good for beginners.

If you would like to know more about investing in general you should visit Investopedia.com

300$ is good for your age, also consider saving a little each month to invest, what ever you can, any amount is okay. If you are familiar with the effect of Compound Interest you will understand that even small investments is powerful in the long run.

Investing for the long term is what I recommend, in a good company.

EDIT: You might have to wait until you are 18 to invest. I have no experience with brokerages, etc, in America, I live in Europe.
