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?
It’s worth it to push yourself into learning new things for whatever reasons
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.
I would argue that it’s worth learning Android development just to know it, for Jerboa or otherwise
