So can i reviw this code? how can i edit ?

I am newbie about developing in Android and the course I am taking is absed in an android applications, so i was asked to review a code is in a zip file thatt contains a folder called SharingApp_c3_local_storage, and this folder contains some others folders line .gradle,.idea,app,buid,dradle and some other files.

First you will need to install an Integrated Development Environment(IDE).
You can download the Android Studio(AS) IDE from here:
https://developer.android.com/studio/

Follow the installation tutorial from here for your operating system.
There's both written and video tutorials:
https://developer.android.com/studio/install

It seems that the zip file you have is from a project originally created in AS (I'm basing this on it having gradle). So after you have AS installed you will need to select the option to "open an existing AS project" and choose "SharingApp_c3_local_storage".

Once you've done the above you can begin to work on your code.

Good luck.

AS is an IDE. So you're all set.

In the Event log windows there is a message:
IDE and Plugin Updates: The following component is ready to update: Android Emulator

The android emulator is like a virtual device to test your apps on in the absence of or to supplement a physical device. You should accept all updates.

OK. I open the existing Project and throws a bunch of errors like:

31/03/2019
6:57 PM Gradle sync started

7:03 PM Gradle sync failed: Failed to find target with hash string 'android-23' in: C:\Users\Pablo Alejandro\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk (5 m 56 s 400 ms)

7:03 PM Syncing only active variant
You can disable this experimental feature from
File → Settings → Experimental → Gradle → Only sync the active variant

So what does it mean with these errors? and how can i correct them?
The Buid Sync windows what is it used for?

I would appreciate your help in advanced

By any chance, do you know how to host the project on github? This is where developers work together on projects. Makes it much easier to review your code.

I believe your gradle file simply needs to be updated.

 

[Alexcol]

OK THanks you very much for your update.
But as i dold u i have zero experience as a developer, so ive never hear about github, i just google itand it is likely a great platform for developers.
the course aim taking about SOA as a practice asked me to install AS, configure it, and review the aplication code.

so these questions arises:
1 how to update gradle file ?
2. how can i make this application to be run?
3 what languaje programming is this for instance in bulid.graddle(app module) this is the code:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "25.0.0"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.sharingapp"
minSdkVersion 19
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}

1. AS will highlight warnings and errors in the gradle file. You can simply place the cursor on the warning and click on "Alt + Enter" which will bring up a menu with suggestions to fix the warning.

2. It'll run fine once the configuration files are updated. (ie. build.gradle etc)

3. Don't worry about gradle language for now as it doesn't affect you. It's just a config file.
