No, that's not 20k, just 20, but I'm still excited! I released this app last fall as an upgrade version to my Days Until app. It takes a lot longer for paid apps to get downloads than for free apps (obviously), so given that this is one of my paid apps, I'm pretty excited it's reached this milestone!  Days Until Free, No ads Days Until with Widget $0.99, No ads App preview video: 

I love making Android apps. It's a great way to learn how to code! It gives you great projects to work on that can increase in complexity as you become more confident with programming. In this video, I go through the parts of a basic counter app for Android and how it looks in Andriod Studio. To get started, download Andriod Studio here: https://developer.android.com/studio To get the code I used in this example, check out the git hub repository I made for this example app. Feel free to copy and paste this code to make things easier! https://github.com/amandaroos/ExampleCounterApp I know this video is quick, so let me know if you have questions! And even if you don't, let me know if you try it out. I'd love to hear how it goes for you. I learned to make Android apps with Udacity.com, where there are free courses that were developed with Google. Check that out here: https://www.udacity.com/course/how-to-create-anything-in-android--ud802   There are also courses directly from...

A quick overview of uploading to the Google Play Store. This is as of December 2018. Some things have changed since I uploaded my first app in July 2017, but overall the process is still very similar.  Even though things will probably change a bit if you are watching this months in the future, I thought it would be worth it to make a quick video. App code on GitHub .

The code is on GitHub: https://github.com/bluepandadev/Location2 I was following along with Udacity's location class when I came across a deprecated method. Since Udacity doesn't have an updated video for it yet, I decided I'd try making one.  Let me know if you have any suggestions on how to do this better.
