Hi guys, I'm facing a productivity problem with Android. Basically, I can do whatever I want with the framework, I always find out a solution to everything I need to do.
My problem is, I never find a solution/explanation on the Android developer web site. It just never happens. For example, I'm just trying to save a picture to the SD card. With a single google search, I find some code/explanation about "getExternalStorageDirectory ()" on say StackOverflow. Look at it, understand it, implement it on my own to be sure I grok it. But then to be thorough, I make a second quick search and discover MediaStore. Some people use it to store images. But no explanation at all on what it is, what are the advantages, why I should use it. Does it take care for me of the location/sd cars presence/sd card mountability ? And of course, the Android documentation is just plain useless on the subject. Just gives me the methods and properties with laconic sentences that are usually unhelpfull if I don't already know what it is the purpose of the object. So my question is : What am I missing ? How do you guys understand what object to use and why when the documentation doesn't tell you ? Again, I always find someone smarter than me who understood/debugged/ private investigated, so that I can always achieve what I meant to do, but I've been developing for 20 years now and I find it tough to feel so dumb.
