I don't get "this"

[SuperNinja10149]

@tmcthree "this" is a way for a java object to reference itself.

[TheThomaswastaken]

These // are forward slashes. As long as you know that I don't care if you keep calling them "orange-slashes". You can tell they are forward by a simple mnemonic like "if they would fall in the direction you are typing they are falling forward."

[sentner]

Ok, one pet peeve of mine... "/" is a Forward Slash (or just "slash")... "\" is a Backslash.

Is there any advantage using StartActivity(...); instead of just setContectView(our next sreen) or is it just dividing the same thing to different files ? btw beautiful tutorials...thank you

[F11Nighthawk]

what code would you use to create this soundboard ?

[GfLads]

I NEED SOMETHING ANSWERED:

FOR SOME REASON, IT WONT LET ME REFRENCE TO MAIN. IT SAYS "MAIN IS NOT A RECOGNIZED FIELD OR VARIABLE"

I cleaned and even restarted the program, but it still wont work ;(

[CornboyzAndroid]

@GfLads check your brackets, or you can export your project and send it to cornboyzandroid@gmail.com

Can you make a tutorial in accessing google API for spreadsheet. Thanks you so much for all the video tutorials you made. I would highly appreciate if you make tutorial in accessing google API. More power and keep it up!

[androidfunmore]

Hi sorry to ask but can you make a video on how to make a button that links to another function like playing a video or something like that?

[androidfunmore]

Hi, I am making(trying to make) a soundboard and followed all the videos expecially this one but it won't play my sound in button one.

[CornboyzAndroid]

@androidfunmore did you import a mp3 file? or was it a different type of audio file?

[androidfunmore]

@CornboyzAndroid i used an ogg file and it worked good just the problem is when I click it it plays then goes to a blank screen. I even tryed to change the setContentView to main but that just made it go to another screen and play it then its not clickable again. I just need a simple people can click on it it plays then they can click it again if they wish.

[CornboyzAndroid]

@androidfunmore oh, well basically if you are creating a sound board, you will won't need the button to start a new activity, so basically just delete the startActivity(new Intent blah blah blah) and just have your button play a sound with the whateverYourSoundNameIs.start(­); with in the onClick method.. change your onClick to something like this..

{

sound1.release();

sound1.start();

}

or something like that.. idk, I'm kinda drunk so let me know if this helps

[androidfunmore]

@CornboyzAndroid Wow, I guess you are brilliant even when your drunk because it worked. Thank you :)

[KirkDaJerk]

oops didnt finish.. was typing on my x and hit go lol, i will check about getting an original mp3 and trying it out later. i will keep you updated

[KirkDaJerk]

i have

[KirkDaJerk]

bte shockemstarcraft is also me... one more question, do you know how to make a button from just an image without having the "normal" app button show behind it?

[CornboyzAndroid]

@KirkDaJerk Oh cool, yea, experiment with the ImageButton in the xml to get a head start. Just out of curiosity, did you import a wav file for you button click? or was it an mp3?

[KirkDaJerk]

Hey dude i found that every third time i press the button it makes three sounds as if they were getting stacked or something and it does that over and over. I downloaded a .wav file but then rendered it in vegas to. mp3 and then used it.

[KirkDaJerk]

When I click mine it will sometimes not make a noise and others make 3x of the same sound.

Any idea how to solve this issue?

[CornboyzAndroid]

@KirkDaJerk What's up man, That happened to me a few times when I was working with a .wav file. I'm not for sure if that could be the problem or not, but let me know if your button_click was/is a .wav file, because I have been a little curious about this same problem. Thanks for letting me know

[ShockemStarcraft]

Can you incorporate some surface view stuff maybe in the future? Thanks!

[CornboyzAndroid]

@ShockemStarcraft I would love to get into sprites and graphic stuff for games etc, but I want to get the basics down first. I'll definitely get into some stuff you'll love soon enough.
