Yeah, thank you for your interest! I've got some messages about that as well.

But first i'd like to see enouh traffic on the course in the most popular language available and then I'll consider putting more effort into it.

Haha, yeah guys you are right, sadly not much I can do about it, esp. after the fact:) There are a ton of free previews so one can figure out if its for them or not.

I even mention at the end of the intro that if you can put up with my accent, you'll be good to go:)

Yeah, my problem with all that is its 8hours long, showing just parts of it is not enough really. I'd like to hear from ones who really do it in its entirety. What they struggled with, aht aas good, what wss awful. Etc.

As an alternative you could set up 2FA on their google accounts, and then they can have a 2FA app on their phone (not just google-authenticator, any app you trust can be good).

Then they would have a fixed place where they can find the 2FA code and not to mess around with the notifications. It's more complicated but more robust as well.

Hi! I think your best bet would be the developer.android.com documentation.

Although there are code references, most of them explain the concepts in the beginning or inbetween. Just ignore the code parts.

Here is an example for the notifications you mentioned: https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/views/notifications

But you can find info on the other topics in here as well.

Thank you so much for your feedback, someone before you already mentioned the cookie banner thing, and I was just working on it. Although can't remove but made it way smaller.

kcsaba2 — Fri, 06 Dec 2024 00:55:10 +0000

Thank you!

Yeah, you are partly right about that (they are not there for confusion's sake).

I just didn't had the stomach to leave those things unmentioned as I'm personally not fond of the monopoly either. So thought to still at least put somewhere at the end. Make some poweruser grandmas:)

Whatsapp, indeed is a good idea, will add that, thanks!

I understand that, I'm like that as well. And not many in my circles are similarly wired. I like to tinker with electronics and different systems and also as a SWE coding random stuff, but not everyone is wired like that.

Long time ago when we were moving, i found an old school book of mine from 7th grade elementary: there was a kid with a wrench repairing a bicycle on the front cover. I remember thinking: thats not really a thing anymore.

Thank you so much for the feedback, that pesky banner indeed. I have fixed both issues. I mean the banner is still annoying, but way smaller.

Yes, yes, yes! I even talk about how hard it is to distinguish between these two things. Even as a user who just want to learn how to use it, kind of hopeless to find something amongst the dev articles/tutorials.
