Android developers,
Please do not go any further reading this post if you cannot give me
an answer other than to read a million more tutorials on object
oriented programming or whatever it might be.
I need to know these things:
>From the VERY beginning, as if I never programmed in my entire life..
what would I do to make a program from scratch and have a graphic
display using the Android API.
I need a linear step by step process that explains each portion of
this design in extreme detail. Is this possible? If you can't explain
this to me, can you send me a tutorial which does?
Here is my complaint, if you look at how developers talk to each other
but you are new and trying to learn, you find tutorials like this.
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER) {
// Perform the tinting operation
TintThePicture(20);
// Display a short message on screen
nm.notifyWithText(56789, "Picture was tinted",
NotificationManager.LENGTH_SHORT, null);
// Save the result
SaveThePicture();
return (true);
}
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
"Here ya go, just stick this in the code."
A new and hopeful programmer like myself who is a complete novice will
think... umm... Where in the code do I stick this? I mean wouldn't I
put this in a class of its own? Come to think of it, how do I import a
class? I read the Java tutorials at Sun's website and it was
completely vague about stuff like that. At least I never found the
information there.
If you will, for the love of all that is sacred and holy, just give me
a linear tutorial... something to explain from the very beginning but
in bulleted steps instead of 5000000000000000000000000000000000 pages
of documents, most of which being useless rhetoric. If you can just
PLEASE do that for me, I will be forever thankful. My life will be
changed, I will finally understand how it all works instead of
shooting in the dark.
So please, please don't tell me.. "go read up on Java", please just
give me a real answer.
Now that I have complained, I apologize.. this wouldn't be my nature
but you see, people just refuse to explain things.. yet they are on a
forum to help people. That doesn't really make sense to me.
Thanks.
