I'm struggling with learning how it works. Yes, I'm new. But the big issue I'm having right now is that the factory samples don't work at all.
In asking for help on StackOverflow, the questions was downvoted (and I consider the "downvote" system nothing more than an invitation to troll anyway), and so I'm opting to stop continuing to try to participate there. If I'm to learn about how code should look, and how it works, I need working samples! The "best practices" version of the code would be ideal, of course. But when I opened (for one example) the Master-Detail Flow sample from the gallery to try to pick it apart, there were well over 100 Lint errors throughout the various classes, and even a couple in the layouts. And basically anything other than "Empty Activity" that has factory-generated code is just showing up as erroneous. The resource links are all fine. There isn't a problem with ID's or strings unless I create issues (which I did, just to verify). The problem is that there are thinks like Activity trying to call getSupportActionBar() (which should be AppCompatActivity, since Activity doesn't include that or the similar getActionBar() method) and there are loads of other issues that I just don't know enough to resolve yet. And the app I'm trying to create is aimed at I've spent well over 3 weeks looking for an answer, and all I find are non-working tutorials (most of which Lint marks as using "deprecated" functions... which means they actually did work at one point), and a lot of repetition of the nonworking code from the factory samples (albeit with slightly different variable names). I'm wondering if there's actually something wrong with my IDE. I don't know how to check for that, other than what I've done in restoring all defaults. And so far, nobody's really being all that helpful. I'm hoping this group breaks that pattern. Even if there isn't a specific solution, how do I locate working code samples so that I can actually learn how to do the things I would like to do in my app?
