Apps Phone app : help needed

Hey, so for my last year of high school I need to build an app for our project, which is glasses with headphones/mic;
What I need to do on the app is to make it able to recognize if a headphone/mic is plugged in the phone, and be able to "interact" with it (change the volume/call contacts), and if there's a button on the headphones cable you are able to change it's function (there's already an app for that so it's not a necessity);
But yeah, first be able to make the app recognize that the headphones are plugged in.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to code. I am willing to learn but only have 4 weeks. I have a quick APK I downloaded & made with GoodBarber (yeah that's pretty sad) and don't really know what to do now.
Any tips or help is appreciated,
Thanks in advance.
(edit : I prefer trying to start again from scratch...because yeah...goodbarber wasn't the best choice for sure)

Hi Jimmy. You may want to start by reading the sticky posts at the top of this forum. They contain some useful links for beginners to Android development.

As you know nothing about coding, you probably first want to have a look at some good tutorials on Java programming. Knowledge of this programming language is essential to write any Android app.

Of course all this takes time, and you may be struggling to complete the project in your time frame. Can you possibly recruit someone else to help you, who has more knowledge?

Unfortunately, I do not know anyone with knowledge of app development.
I still accept help on how to do what I previously wrote, so I can keep them for when I learned the language and read the stickies.
Thanks.
 
Your first practical step will be to install the development environment. This includes the JDK (Java Development Kit), available from Oracle, and you also need Android Studio. Once installed, you can create a simple app, or look at the sample projects.
But really you need the foundation knowledge of Java to fully understand what you're doing.
 
The above code can get you off to a flying start. Have a close look, pick it apart and try to understand what it's doing.
Any further questions, feel free to ask here and someone will answer.
