I've been wanting to draw more pride pandas with more pride colors but didn't get around to it this year, so here are my pandas from last year. Hope everyone had a happy pride month! 🏳️‍🌈 

I've only posted about app milestones for three months now, but this app has already come up twice! My Latitude and Longitude app has the fastest download rate of any app I've made yet. It hit its 5k milestone just two months ago, and now it's at 10k downloads!  Latitude and Longitude Free, No ads App preview video:

Another milestone was reached this month! I'll try to do these milestone posts monthly. Volume Button Counter Free, No ads App preview video:

Thanks to the person from Milwaukee, WI who recently bought my donation app! To everyone who has supported my Android apps, whether through donations or other app purchases, thank you! It means a lot to know that the work I'm doing is appreciated! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amandafarrell.www.donationfordeveloper_blue

I've been working with Kotlin for a while now, but I haven't started learning to use Jetpack Compose yet. Time to get started learning a new way to make the UI for Andriod apps! I'm excited! The Android team at Google put out a new FREE course as of April 2022: Android Basics with Compose:  https://developer.android.com/courses/android-basics-compose/course

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...

I've decided to start making monthly-ish posts for my app download milestones. I was thinking of making the milestones be whenever the numbers double, but that's too complicated, so I'll post when the downloads hit orders of magnitude of 1, 2 and 5.  Latitude and Longitude Free, No ads App preview video:
