    In practically every course that I ever took in school I got one of the top 3 grades. I don't think I'm stupid. I can barely grasp anything here. Maybe I was always stupid. Maybe my brain has turned to mush. I think I have a good app idea but there might be some technical reasons why someone else hasn't done my idea yet and already put it on the play store. I wish that I knew if I'm wasting my time.

    Mr. Kay what would be the best option of creating a website to host a database where 500+ people with varying access level can retrieve or record data from their allocated geography. This project is for the Archdiocese of Suva in Fiji… the entry and retrieval points is spread over 200 islands. The table might have 12+ tables and 200000+ records…I hope you respond

  10. You Tube

    Understood nothing. Doesn't NATIVE mean that the application should be written in C ++, and not in Kotlin ??

  11. Estereos

    I doubt you understand what you explain.

  12. Codeman

    respository is missing files ??.. couldn't find UserViewModel

    WOW! Android has changed! I moved away when Kotlin started catching on because I didn't like the way that Android was playing big brother and making the choices for what was supposed to be an open-source community of developers. I remember hearing about Jetpack (it was brand new), but we had a completely different API. I do remember hearing about a change in the directories that an app has permission to write in, but other than that Ive stayed away. I can't believe how much things have changed. It is a whole different platform now!
