Going crazy with App reskinning

[Gardencity]

Hi, i wanted to ask, and vent a bit about this subject. It seems that EVERY source code i try to work with comes with lots of errors and every time i solve one it turns into another. There is no source code that can be run directly from download and i am new with all this so, most of the time i don't know wtf i'm doing. I just try different things i see on internet until one of them seems to work.

Anyone is having or had this problem?

Are you actually buying templates from sites like Codecanyon or are you downloading "cracked" ones?

I am trying to learn how things work with cracked ones

how about you learn the language that the source code is written in first?
then you will also understand wtf you are doing...

it's for reskinning apps. I just want to change some images, fonts, background and that's it. I don't need to know java for that. The problem is that the projects don't run.

If you’re sure that its the projects, why don’t you buy one non-cracked and test it. If its still not running well, then you have your answer

well if you dont need to know java for that then why you complain? if you would understand it, you wouldnt have this problem..

Maybe hire a coder who does know java and can tell you what's wrong. You could be getting bad source code

BECAUSE YOU DON'T NEED JAVA KNOWLEDGE TO DO THAT.

But you need:
-basic english skills to read what Android Studio tell you, for example to update Android API version
-basic search, copy&paste error to google and find solution on stackoverflow, it's mostly 30 seconds
-to be smart...
-do not update gradle plugin in old projects
-never buy projects older or not update for 1 year

Leaving aside the fact that you are calling me stupid in many different ways, your last two bullet points are useful. I actually used stackoverflow searching for solutions, and other websites too. But the "solutions" didn't work, in some other cases, the explanation was way too specific for my limited java skills.

By the way, talking to people like that won't help you sell your android development course. It will have the exact opposite effect on possible customers. You don't even have to be smart to realize that...

I was actually thinking about contacting you when i had some spare money, but now i won't.

Most of those source codes are way too old. Not wasting more time on them, but thank you for your reply.

No problem, money is not everything
Of course I didn't want to insult you in any way and if you felt insulted, I am sorry.

Then no problen at all. Just a misunderstanding.
