Is this what the life of a programmer is like?

If you're both an idiot and an "indie dev" then yeah, I guess so.
>>
>>57479770
Sounds right, why
>>
>>57479770
Using other's shittily built tools is always like that. Shit is ALWAYS poorly documented, never follows its fucking dependencies close enough, buggy because it was written by a retard that can't invert a binary tree, and there is no hope of it getting better because it has momentum and there aren't enough intelligent people in the industry.

The only way to rise above is to make equally shitty tools that makes sense to you and that you have control over.
>>
>>57479770
Learn how to program then.

I'm not surprised, at all.

>Can't even install and set up Android SDK

What kind of dumbass manages to screw this up?

Also Android development sucks.

Also also something like 90% of indie games fail to even make a profit. Do it for love, don't expect any money.

>>57479871
OP is a stinky weaboo.

Stop being so mean :(

>>57479846
As for you, you can go fucking kill yourself tripfag no one cares about your opinion

>>57479837
>>57479802
I was hoping that wasn't the answer. But I guess I will have to live with it because I am not nearly advanced enough to make my own shit like that.

I just want to make one billion dollars stealing and reskinning the ideas of other using ad support on free mobile apps like Candy Crush did
>>
>>57479900
Sorry, I guess I've had a rough day. I didn't mean to project onto you.

But you may want to try developing on another platform if you're fed up with what tools you're supposed to use for android dev.
>>
>>57479900
Fucking idiot weaboo.
Go back to wasting your life away with anime and child pornography. No one wants you around.
>>
>>57479960
Well its already the one Ive spent the most time learning about so I will stick with it. I seem to have finally gotten the tools I need set and was able to run a hello world on my phone.

It really sort of feels weird to see my own program running on my phone like that. On the computer it doest feel the same. But on my phone it is so exciting!
>>
>Is this what the life of a programmer is like?
You may be a retard, OP
But yes, actually. Entirely too much time gets spent trying to fix and configure specific dependencies on each other.

It gets exponentially worse the more legacy shit you deal with.

>He is on a indonesian shoe making forum
>Making fun of people that post anime reaction picture

Haha wow tell me more about how great your life is bro haha

You're using an old guide and using way too much.
All you want is android SDK, should include all the java shit you need.
Fuck the NDK if you don't know what you're doing.
>>
>>57480037
Well I already have it and it seems to be working at this point so I will stick with what I have for now.

Keep in mind it isnt a guide with how to use SDK, its incorporating the modules into a 3d party software which i will not name for embarrassment, in order to use that software t compile for android.
>>
>>57480004
That's not a reaction image in the op, but here's your (you), stupid weaboo :^)

If it's working, that's good.
Best of luck anon.

>developing for android
You asked for a nightmare, don't be surprised that's what you got. It's what happens when a platform is fragmented across 4 major versions and tens of different SoCs.

This is why the majority of android app development is outsourced to India while iOS app dev mostly happens in first-world NA and European countries.

The only way Android development will ever improve is if smartphones follow the footsteps of PCs and a standardized platform is developed so you don't need 50 billion variations of everything. The biggest strength of x86 Windows is that you can develop software with whatever the hell setup you have and know it will work with every other Windows PC out there; Android needs this quite sorely.

this frustration is nothing compred to what youll face when you actually try to sell your product

>all avenues (google play, steam, anyone) will rape your ass with fees
>without marketing you wont sell shit
>all the other indie devs will take your unpopular shit and steal all the good ideas you had
>they will make a fortune off your good ideas
>you will die alone in a gutter

good luck!
>>
>>57479770
Learn iOS so you can sell out to a company. Only make apps as a labor of love and/or to pad your portfolio.
>>
yeah, android native development is a pain, really would think there were better tools than this for a platform so popular
>>
>>57479770
why didn't you use your package manager?
>>
>>57479770
Are you using windows?
>>
>be me
>decide to make application for android
>download android studio
>takes no time at all to set up and get running
>coded an app from scratch over the course 3-4 months (much less time if I actually condense it)
>use it as resume content
>get hired as a junior software developer a month after I released it

It's that easy brahs. But I'm probably going to hate working since I've never had a legitimate job before.

See >>57479851

It's not difficult, op is just retarded.

Does anyone develope serious games on Linux? Seems like it would have all the tools to make nice cross compatible games.

It's the life of a code monkey.
