What's up CornFanz? Thanks again for watching my videos, please subscribe and thumbs up if you liked it. Apologize for the clippy audio and saying umm a lot.


In this lesson you will:
-Learn about Activities, and how add the proper layout for an Activity
-Start typing some Java.
-Create a new class
-Learn a little about Threads, and how start creating a Thread variable


This video is the 6th in a web series that I am creating to help you learn Android programming so you can create apps and eventually how to learn to write games for android phones. I want to explain things in a way that everyone can understand, even if you have no experience with Java, XML, C, OpenGL, or as a matter of fact, any other programming language.




If you do have a lot of experience with programming, these first videos will be really slow for you, but my goal is to get everyone sprinting, but for now we have learn to crawl.

I feel like i have to start all over because of the "R cannot be resolved to a variable" message

[CornboyzAndroid]

@1smawley check out my blog post on how to fix this.  mybringback(dot)com > go to the blog section > Travis' Android Help

I too am getting the splash is not resolved error. I am not using capital letters or spaces. I am using a .wave file rather than MP3. A couple jpg's instead of png's. Can't figure this one out for the life of me! I do have the splash.xml folder in layouts as well. GREAT tutorials by the way!

[CornboyzAndroid]

@Eddogegr3 I wouldn't use a wav file. I have tried before and It gives me problems like 50% of the time. You also want to check your imports. (at the top of your java class) and make sure there isn't an "import android.R" or something like that. if there is the android.R you want to delete it and that may get rid of the problem. Hope that helps buddy

I cant understand where is your 'raw' folder ? It appears at the end of the video itself.... so how ?

[Jozee5410]

When did you add an icon of the app?

[1smawley]

@Gevito236 Its usually something small, which makes it so much more agitating. But even if you start over.. keep on keepin on

[Gevito236]

@1smawley Glad im not the only one with that problem... and that feeling.
