• Lesson 1 in <https://classroom.udacity.com/courses/ud9012|Developing Android Apps with Kotlin> 
    ◦ Main app anatomy (gradle, manifest, resource)

    ◦ Views, View groups, Managing resources
    ◦ Connecting view &amp; activity (view hierarchy, R class)

`Self-Comment`
• Forgot to report yesterday’s progress. Not much done yesterday, following the very first part of Lesson 1 - did setups and gradle installations in airport :joy: Sea-side programming is wonderful. :beach_with_umbrella:Only the fact that I left my android device at home so I have to work with emulator, and my mac is too slow:face_with_rolling_eyes:. 
• For past few months, as a lab intern, I used to build simple, ugly, single-view android apps just for mobile DL experiments. Glad to review the android tutorials thoroughly, now I get the missing details that I used to skip in hurry. Plus, I thought my OS memories were quite crappy, since I quite ruined that semester… but as I follow the course, I seem to pick up the basic workflows and terminologies related with OS. 
• + Think I should catch up the keyboard shortcuts in Android Studio in spare time.
• + Decided to take notes hastily with hand - much faster pace than taking notes in notion + better concentration. This way better fits mastering android I guess.
`Goals Tomorrow`
• Concept of view binding seems nice but lecture just sticks to findViewById - think I should try view binding with more recent tutorial.
• Finish lesson1 basics and move on to app navigation.

Gorgeous view!

You can use the Key Promoter X Plugin. It informs you about a shortcut every time you don't use one. Pretty useful if you want to learn them anyways.

I may join you on completing the course! Need to build fundamentals for android even if I'm planning on using Compose

Ohh I never installed a plugin on AndroidStudio yet, I’ll try that Key Promoter X ! Thanks in advance :android-dance:
Emm I’m afraid this lecture might be quite easy for you. I’m uhh.. super-newbie so.. :blob-thinking-upside-down: (Of course u can skim through the contents and check by yourself)
By the way in course intro, it says it takes 2 months - but I don’t think it’ll take that long. In my expectation, this can be done in two weeks intensively. Since I’m staying in this island:beach_with_umbrella: for about 20 days, I’m hoping to get this done before I get back to home:blob-sunglasses:

Yeah, I completed up to Dice Images on Lesson 1 before logging off for the night. So far it's pretty simple although I'm kind of intrigued by XML now and how it's different from what I've been learning.  I think early concepts will be skimmable but will need to focus come Lesson 3+. I finally understand why I've seen so many calls from the res folder using R.... :laughing:

Ohh u already went thru, awesome! Glad u found some parts useful! Almost everything is useful to me lol, especially when I have those aha moments likewise:sunglasses:
