This code tutorial tells you which lines to add to your build script to import the library, and tells you what classes to use, but does not tell you what imports to use to get the classes into scope *starts throwing things*

Update: Android Studio is now informing me it cannot find "the file".

What file?

Meh

Every day I do Android development is a bad day

@mcc I’ve never done android dev. Does it involve Java?

@XaiaX Generally, yes. And if you choose not to use Java (use ndk or kotlin), you still have to deal with the java toolchain/ecosystem, which is generally the "bad part" of Java anyway.

@mcc I knew I would never be able to tolerate Java the first time
I had to type “.equals()”

(Of course, it was my job for several years, and I still couldn’t make myself learn it because I hated it so much, and I think I’ve managed to forget most of it already.)

I had assumed as much but had never looked into alternate development platforms for it.
