Worth pointing out that Kotlin Synthetics (Which is the feature [Extension Plugin] that allows you to call your Views (Buttons, Edittexts, etc) with their respective ID directly onto your Kt file/class is deprecated, which in general means it is not recommended to use anymore, instead it is good to use ViewBinding or DataBinding (or both if needed).
I was going through a bunch of videos on RUclips trying to look on getting into Android Studio with Kotlin since it is the new language going forward by Google on Android. And all of the videos I could find would show you how to do something but not really explain what each part of the video does. For example, the way you broke down the meaning of "R.id.but..." to indicate this comes from resources and ID's, it's something not many do. Thanks for making this fundamental series, it has been super helpful so far for someone looking for a concentration in their CS degree ;)
from 2021 and I got problems when I have tried to import views by using "synthetic". But I have fixed it by replacing with 'view binding'. Great tutorial bro keep going on!
Wow holy crap these videos are easily the best coding tutorial videos I have ever seen. I am a complete beginner and self taught (more youtube taught honestly) and you are by far the most helpful.
Followed along through your entire Newbie to Pro series, and per your recommendation, I'm going through this series to learn XML before jumping into Jet Pack Compose. This is my first time committing to learn to program since my Web Design HTML/CSS days over a decade ago. Anyways, THANK YOU. You're videos are not only well thought out and made, but your playlists are well structured and paced. I actually feel confident that I can be good at this because of your tutorials and advice. Figured after having watched 30+ videos of yours, I should stop and express my appreciation. Keep doing your thing!
Great video, bro. I finished an Android App Development course on Udemy, and I'm now using your videos for review. These are helping tremendously. Keep up the good up work.
Phillipp, your video about buttons is extremely good. Your tip about renaming buttons is very important. I had problem with renaming buttons. However I need button to save data in database - to implement Insert statement. I do not know how to do this in button.onclick. Could you please show this in comment. Because it is important for all Android Studio beginners. Or can you make video " Buttons to save and delete data in database". Thanks a lot
first of all thank you so much for you very useful curse and then I have a question in the 8 min where you teaching about "importing btnApply" it dosn't work for me I pressed Alt+Enter but it didn't work can you pleas help me to fix it?
Anyone please help me in my Android Studio it doesn't work when i type btnApply it shows create local variable also there the import library doesn't work i Tried many places still im stuck . help me
I'm following this course so far but when I click alt + enter at 7:30 it doesn't import anything, I've tried manually typing it but kotlinx doesn't even autocomplete it only says kotlin
Hello, I'm a newbie here. Many thanks to your video, one of the best explained android tutorials! Some issue occurred when I followed steps in the video Program compiled fine, but my emulator still showed "Hello World" layout, which is really strange because in the previous Linearlayout video the app ran no problem. My first thought is it's maybe android studio had some syntax updates during this time since 2020? I've googled it but most answers were so many years ago. Sorry if the question sounds stupid, would appreciate any help, thanks!
to do what he did in this video you need first to learn about view binding in this videos ruclips.net/video/z0F2QTAKsWU/видео.html ruclips.net/video/QVIgunA3jcQ/видео.html this will help you to understand how android studio calls view by id now after that you can follow with the setOnClickListener part because after you call the button its the same in both ways
First - thanks again and again for the videos. Second - Just a suggestion, you do not have to accpet: Instead of teaching us the shortcut to refactor (and we are familiiar with many other), right click and show us the popup menu - refactor All the best :)
Thanks for the feedback! For which particular reason? I mean the shortcut is faster of course and I never needed another option out of the refractor menu than renaming
@@PhilippLackner True, it is faster. But we are familiar with shortcut from (e.g. office, visual studio, python , norton commander (lol) ,android studio, access , you got it...) but if one will study "first" to do it with the correct menu - he/she will look for the shortcut there :)
While running Android studio emulator when I increase the volume of the emulator it got crashed and showed blue screen error what could be the possible reason ??
Just in case if you are following along this tutorial as I am so the import " synthetic " is deprecated but Philipp has made an updated video using View Binding. Just keep coding. ruclips.net/video/z0F2QTAKsWU/видео.html

@@S_Karthik You have to add id 'kotlin-android-extensions' in build.gradle (:app) file not in the other gradle file which is build.gradle (Your App Name)
to solve button problem: - add : apply plugin: 'com.android.application' apply plugin: 'kotlin-android' apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions' to your build gradle (module...) -add : import kotlinx.android.synthetic.main.activity_main.* to your main activity

Yeah It didn't use the synthetics stuff because i as did that it didn't work but I knew about viewbinding so yeah I used viewbinding 😁
Glad I saw this comment. I would have driven myself insane and probably found a different set of tutorials and started all over.. AGAIN..

Love your videos. Could you also show how to do this stuff in code besides the design views?
Being a Java Developer at 7:18 i realized (one of the reasons maybe) why u hate java & love KOTLIN
I'm following this course so far but when I click alt + enter at 7:30 it doesn't import anything, I've tried manually typing it but kotlinx doesn't even autocomplete it only says kotlin
nvm I fixed it in my build.gradle (app) plugins for some reason there wasn't id 'kotlin-android-extensions' I added that and it worked

just binge watching
What is the difference between left_to_left_of and start_to_start_of?
I think we need to know view binding here

it is deprecated now
I couldn't import my button id automatically, I'm using Android Studio v4.1.2
it looks like the kotlinx synthetics got deprecated developer.android.com/topic/libraries/view-binding/migration

to solve button problem:
- add :
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'
to your build gradle (module...)
-add :
import kotlinx.android.synthetic.main.activity_main.*

```

id 'com.android.application'
id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android'
