Hey,

Honestly, even when Google first started, the code base was mostly a hack; and ditto for Facebook, and just about all start-ups. None of those guys were "pros" when they first started; they simply had a dream and the courage to "go for it" and then they become "pros".

Of course, you are not trying to be the next Google or FB; but at least you can enjoy your idea/dream/ambition/goal to build an Android app.

I look forward to your progress, even if it is step-by-step; because even when we climb the highest mountain, it starts with a single step, and it is usually the first step which is the hardest.
