Hi everyone, I need advice about app dev but I hardly no where to start, so here is my knowledge bg: I know c++ / JAVA / xml mostly. I'm not an expert, but I have written many programs and games that involve intense math/logic and I find that the easy part. I used to feel stuck like I am now until I found Dark gdk, after that I could do anything I wanted until apps came along. Now I've learned java and xml pretty well but I hardly know where to start making an app because the xml and java must be used together and idk how to do that completely. I have Aide dev environment for my phone, which would be ideal for me unless you think I need to make apps on a desktop. Here is my problem: I know how to manipulate existing app code, but the functions etc available to be called I have no way of finding. Where do I get this info, like if I want a button, how do I know what code (like a button) is in the android libraries? It's almost as if you're just supposed to know this. Dark gdk made it easy, all the fuctions available were listed in the help file and explained. So is there something similar for making apps? My programs will require math, pictures, buttons, and basic string manipulation, and that's pretty much it. How can I get started? I've read countless help tutorials that get me nowhere. Please help, I'm stuck badly. This is the only thing I have ever had trouble learning. THX!!!!!
 
Thanks for the welcoming. I've searched through the link, so far haven't found what I'm looking for. Btw guys, I forgot to mention that dark gdk is for games and is relatively simple. Maybe what I need is something similar for apps because my app(s) will require many of the same elements as a game.
 
Just in case someone ever tries to answer, I have Android studio. I'm starting to learn about how xml and java are used together. I will probably be able to answer the question myself before anyone answers. It would still be helpful to get some guidance. Thx
