Anybody out there building Android Apps?

Yep... can be a pretty painful process dealing with multiple device types, OS versions and screen-sizes but getting better with each Android Studio release.

I'd never coded in Java but completed three apps now for the work in the last six months.

I'd recommend including ACRA lib to report Unhandled error (works well with free account on http://www.tracepot.com/ ), helps capture stack-trace, device type, ver # etc.

It's also real easy to leak memory through unintentionally bad practices just by using the wrong context, this https://github.com/square/leakcanary is great for catching those.

If just starting out it might be worth looking at https://kotlinlang.org/ , it's Java plus all the good stuff we're used to with .NET framework.

I had done some Java coding and C++ before. Android Studio does a lot of work keeping everything synched but unfortunately my current PC, bought for web browsing and document editing is not powerful enough to run it reasonably quickly. So Santa is bringing me a more powerful PC.

Thanks for you help and the links.
