Simple app - assistance required

[Viresh Daya]

Hi everyone.

This is my first post in the Android Development forum.

I am looking at designing an app which will function as follows: Say there are 4 sub units, each accessible through the hamburger side menu.
Each page should have a list of dates, basically events. The user should get notifications based on their preferences which will be either one day before, on the day, 1 week before, etc.

These event dates will be updated once a year by way of a play store update.

I have no java experience whatsoever, but I want to learn. I need the community's assistance in finding the correct place to start. I have tried winging it in the past and just ended up with a lot of app crashes. Would also like to make it as material design as possible.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

Hi welcome to Android Forums.
You might want to read this thread, and other sticky posts in this forum for some basic tips

Sounds like what you're wanting to implement is a simple calendar app. The best place to start would be creating a very simple navigation drawer app. There is a basic template project in Android Studio which does exactly that.

It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway
Pick up a good book on Java, or consult a few web tutorials. Learn the basics of the language before diving straight into your first app.
