If you are new to Android development, check out my List of Android Development Resources & Links here in the articles area. That should help getting you started.
Next, the news app. What are the most basic features a news app must have? I'd say, receiving and displaying news. So find out how to do both of those first. Also: How should the user navigate from one news item to another?
After that you can ask yourself, what else the app is supposed to do. Maybe automatically update at a set interval? Maybe allow the user to follow certain topics? You could have notifications at certain events (though you shouldn't overuse this feature, it can easily become bothersome). Should your app synchronize over several devices? Do you want to be able to mark news items as read or unread? And so on and so forth.
Before you actually start programming, it is best to know what your app is supposed to be able to do, at least in general. Then you can start planning the project in a way that will allow you to more easily build the various features.

I would like to put a text input field (in the sense of <input
type="text">) and an image next to each other, where I know the size
in pixels of the image, and I know the total width in em. I haven't
found a way to do this.
I tried
<span style="width:20em">

Hi:
At the outset let me admit that I screwed up!
I have built a rather elaborate set of forms and sub forms starting with a client table,
and going down to PO and Line item. This works very well EXCEPT that when I started the
design I failed to consider that client records would be added to the client table in
random order. The table is indexed on client ID which is an auto number field, and as a
result the table is in random order,...

I've the following question about making views, I suppose it's standard SQL but I cant find a solution. Perhaps someone can help.
- Suppose I've a table Name (ID, Name)
- And a table Data (ID, Name_ID, Value)
The question is how to make a view showing Data.Id, Name.name, Data.Value
Example:
- 2 records in Name; 9 , Book and 10, Car
- 4 records in Data; (1, 9, All trains 2007) ; (2, 9, Cars 2006) ; (4, 10, Ford); (5, 10, Citroen)

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
