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!
