The Sources - Stack Overflow & Youtube

An excellent way to start App programming is using YouTube since you can follow step by step the coding. Often the explanation is useful. But you will not find everything and later it is only necessary to copy some code from stack overflow. However, I strongly recommend YouTube for the first steps.

If you have any questions, stack overflow will have the answer. However often the discussions are misleading and difficult to understand. I just want to give few hints:

• If you search for something, add the words "stack overflow" and "Android Studio" in order to hit Android App coding

• You should be careful since simple coding is often not added, e.g. onclick events, button definitions, ...

• On the left site there is a ranking of the answer. Often the first answer is sufficient. However, read the comments below to get a feeling if there are any problems left.

• Always there exist different ways to solve a task. It is helpful to have a look to other ways. Sometimes they are easier to understand or better solved.

• In Android there are a lot of changes and problems with the different Android Versions. So be careful that your solution works for all devices you are aiming. A good way is to ignore answers before 2015 since a lot has changed since then.
