Hi,

my Android dev experience consists of a single school project back in the day before android studio existed, it populated a few menus dynamically from text files and displayed text/images.

I am a developer, but I write business software in a field that’s usually 10 years or so behind the bleeding edge.

I’d consider myself a power user of android, flashing roms or kernels isn’t new to me, but development is.

Jerboa is great already, but I see a lot of things that could be improved and many of them seem rather easy.

How much time would it take to get to a point where I could implement simple stuff, like adding an entry to the context menu of comments that lets me view the raw text?

    I’m in a similar boat as you; I write scientific software but app development is a totally new beast for me. It looks like the community info has some links that may be of interest to you. I took a cursory glance at the jetpack compose site, and they do have some tutorials that I will check out some time this weekend.
