Apps How difficult to build an app that tracks how far I walk?

I'm a programmer but I've never written an Android app (or any mobile app.) I'd really love to have an app that tracks how far I've walked and can also do time and distance arithmetic.

Here's what I'm thinking. I love to run/walk. Let's say I want to set a goal of running/walking 5 miles in 80 minutes. I want to be able to see in real time, how much of those 5 miles I've covered and what average speed I have to maintain to meet my goal. For example, when I first enter 5 miles in 80 minutes into the app, the display should show that I need to maintain a 16-minute mile. Let's say I cover the first mile in 20 minutes. Then I've got 4 miles left to cover in 60 minutes so the display should show me that I have to do a 15-minute mile. I want the display to be constantly updating. That will motivate me to speed up or to slow down depending on what pace I have to average over the remaining time.

Is this an easy app to develop? If so, how would I proceed to learn what I need to learn?

Thanks!

Fossil Sudden Battery Issue.

Greetings one and all.

I was gifted a Fossil Carlyle this past Christmas. I have been able to go through the whole day (5 AM to 10:30 PM) with ample battery life remaining, a little less than half.

Recently though battery life has taken a significant hit, forcing the watch to now go into battery saving mode around 10PM.

I have not added any apps or changed how I use it. I did a Force Stop on the Nike app as well as the Heart Rate Monitor app to see if it would help improve but to no avail.

I'm left wondering if the battery has developed an issue or if a recent Wear OS update blitzed it.

Any thoughts?

Samsung Keyboard keeps stopping

I received a software update on the 14th of February and since then the Samsung keyboard keeps notifying me it has stopped (I am not using it at the time).
This a Samsung T820 with Android 9.1 and security patch October 19.
I have tried clearing the cache and the data, I have tried forcing a stop and clearing cache and data, I have tried doing all of that and then restarting, I have tried restarting multiple times and I have tried clearing the data and the cache of the keyboard, clearing the data of the user dictionary and then restarting. None of these ideas worked and the notification keeps popping up like a demented jack in the box. I also think that the tablet is less stable since this latest update.
I have a keyboard cover which still works and the fault occurs whether or not I have the physical keyboard attached. Any help would be really appreciated.

Which app is this based on the icon?

I have 2 images for reference. There is a notification for an app I don't recognize. My hope is that one of you recognize it and can tell me what it is. I don't see a notification in the drop down when I look for it. Any help would be appreciated.

1st picture for reference:

This is the icon in question:

EDIT #1873290: Just wanted to note that I'm new and if this is in the wrong section let me know and I will delete it and reopen the discussion elsewhere. I should proofread better. >.<

Cache cleaning question SM-G935F

Hi everybody. I have a question regarding what I think relates to cache cleaning of my Galaxy S7 Edge SM-G935F.

From time to time I empty the cache of my device either directly from the settings, or by using the AppMgr Pro III application. Both of them give similar results.

I notice how over time the available space in the internal memory starts to slowly decrease. I understand that probably it has mostly to do with application updates, considering that all my videos and photos taken with the camera go to the SD card, and I never store non essential files in the internal memory.

Every few months my phone operator releases a few system updates for the phone. Most of the time they are small and do not bring any noticeable change. However, after every time that I apply one of them I see that the available space in the internal memory increases greatly, I can easily gain 1 GB with an update.

All of this makes me wonder, if there is any folder that is slowly filling up with garbage, which is outside of the reach of even the built in cache cleaner, and is cleaned only when applying a system update.

If such folder exists, is there any way to clean it by myself without needing to wait a few months for an Android update? Currently I'm running Android 8 with only official updates.

It is also important to mention that the same happens with my Galaxy Tab S2 SM-T710, which runs Android 7, also with only official updates.

Thanks in advance

Multi Page Registration form using fragments

Hi im making a password manager in android studio and storing all the data using firebase. The issue im stuck on is creating the registration form. If i simply had one activity with all information on one page i would be able to set this up. However ive got too much infomation to register and it looks messy. So ive created a single activity and have three fragments. After each page the user will click continue until the final page where the user will sign up and all of the data from each fragment is sent to the database as one.



fragment 1 is responsible for user info e.g. name, email, phone number. fragment 2 is responsible for master password and fragment 3 is responsible for shared secret.



having not used fragments im abit lost with the whole process i know you can use interfaces or viewmodels to send data back to the activiy. But what would be the best approach be? ive initialy set up interfaces on each fragment but im unsure how to call these in the activity and then create a method which takes the information from each interface put it into one then send it the database.

Thanks for any help / ideas.

Moving Photos to a New Phone

I'm trying to move a photo album to from an S5 Active to an S6...I tried just using Smart Switch on WiFi, but, the album did not move over.

I have a double micro USB cable...can I do it with this cable? I tried using SmartSwitch with the cable, and, it gave me a connection error, advising to switch my settings to some kind of file, but, could not find the specific setting in my phone.

Any help?
