I'm finishing up the last project of the Udacity Android Basics Nanodegree this week! I completed a challenge course for the Grow with Google scholarship earlier this year and started on the nanodegree a few months ago.  I've worked on over 30 little app projects and I'm starting to understand Java a lot better.

Link to video:  https://youtu.be/fouAGhpq8Ss This simple app displays the latitude and longitude coordinates of the phone using Google's location services API and the getLastLocation() function as of June 2018. 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. Link to the Udacity class, Google Location Services on Android: https://www.udacity.com/course/google-location-services-on-android--ud876-1 Here's a training doc on location from the google dev website: https://developer.android.com/training/location/ And here's the Google APIs for Android, LocationServices page on the google developer website for more information: https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/loc...

This video shows how I put the finishing touches on my Change Calculator Android app (which will be on Google Play for download soon!). Example of using string.xml, style.xml and color.xml files in an Android app.   Websites from the video: https://www.materialpalette.com/ https://stackoverflow.com/ Link to Change Calculator code: https://github.com/bluepandadev/ChangeCalculator Edit: link to the app on Google Play -  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amandfarrell.www.changecalculator&hl=en

Admiral Grace Hopper joined the Navy in her 30s and became one of the pioneers of computing. In the early 1950s, a time when people thought computers could only do arithmetic, she built a compiler (a program that can turn the code humans write into something the machine can understand). By the 1960s she had written the language COBOL. This is a video of her giving a nano stick to David Letterman. A nano stick was a piece of wire that represented the distance light could travel in a nanosecond. Seems like she was pretty cool. It's a fun interview.

This is a quick tour of how the SQLite database in my simple scorekeeper app is set up.

This is a 3-minutes video about how to make a simple counter app in Android Studio. I recommend using your own Android phone if you want to try it out, though you can also use the emulators that come with Android Studio if you don't mind waiting patiently while they load.
