>>4436>trying out Android development in Kotlin, Google's languageUpdate:
I guess this can serve as an example for why you shouldn't set your mind to learn something without any experience of it.
Google's Android Studio is utter shit. At first I thought maybe it's my computer, may lack of skill or such, because I don't know anything. But it became clear after a few weeks, that everyone on the course forum had the same problems.
The IDE itself breaks constantly. Apps will crash with no indication as to why, debugging is a blindfolded walk in a dark forest at night. The only help you get is
>a link to a forumgiven by the debugger. WTF.
Apps will suddenly and randomly break and become impossible to fix as a result of bugs in the IDE. The problems are then impossible to reproduce a second time, but I saw on the forum that several people experienced the exact same bugs. This makes every move in the IDE a step into a mine field.
Copying your project to be safe? Oh no, Android Studio requires a very specific naming convention, you can't add "copy1" to the folder name, it won't "see" the app if you did that.
You accidentally (unknowingly) imported an image file which didn't use the Android naming convention which has some very specific and random rules for what is accepted? Well sorry, you can't un-import the file and the App will now crash. You are not allowed to fix it, it's irreversible!
The last straw was;
an automatic update which made all apps impossible to compile!Yes. Previously created projects, new projects, you can't build them because the trannies and feminists at Google fucked something up, so you now have to spend one hour looking through old forum posts to locate a line of code in some auto-generated file which you have to manually change, every time you create a new project and for all old projects. Because no, Google devs aren't going to fix this, they don't care!
But don't worry, everyone has the same problem! You are not alone! Now this is real socialism.
So how the fuck do people even create apps for Android? Well... Microsoft Visual Studio can also be used.This shit is beyond unbelievable. No fucking wonder Google had to fire half their staff if this is how they run things. From what rumours said they fired all males over 40, leaving only the trannies and the women, they're leaving the goal open for Apple. I hate apple.
Microsoft, can you pls work on those Windows phones? We're going to need them soon.
