Anyone any good at java?


I want to have a go at using the android project here https://www.hackster.io/mitchwongho/read-phone-notifications-using-esp-eb0ad4 on my phone to do exactly as the project intends, send messages over Bluetooth.

However, I don't know java (won't be a problem yet) but worse, the project 'as-is' doesn't build in android studio. Googling the build errors gives no useful info.
Is anyone here will to load up the project and clue me in on what I need to do to build the app?

Kindest regards,

Me.

Did you find any solutions for this?
I've been trawling the net, but haven't found anything more useful than "Just install these several hundred SDKs"
The last time I dared anything Java was back when I did OUYA dev, and .. gosh, that's a long time ago, now!

I DO remember finding things easier once I installed a Linux secondary boot on my system, though. I wonder if there's an easy to use Linux Distro that includes all the necessary Android Studio gubbins, pre-installed on an easy to use thumbdrive booting, ready to use, live instance..?

Did you also clone the dependency noted on the readme?

So, I downloaded the main project zip, extracted it, downloaded the ble depencency, extracted that.
Imported the project into Android Studio.
Tried to build it, android studio suggested some updetes, I dd those.

Now I'm up to
"The 'kotlin-android-extensions' Gradle plugin is deprecated. Please use this migration guide (https://goo.gle/kotlin-android-extensions-deprecation) to start working with View Binding (https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/view-binding) and the 'kotlin-parcelize' plugin."

I theory I follow the instructions in the link, in practace though, I don't have the slightest idea what its talking about.

There should be rule that, before uploading anything to Github/StackOverflow/etc (and here!!), the author must first create a VirtualMachine, and try to get it to run, again, from scratch..

I think the code is a few years old though.

semi related - this would have made a nice case for my nearly smart nearly watch -- https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09BDZ2PPM/?coliid=I1Z7TB7KLAUYRS

OK, maybe a bit further, changed the ext.kotlin_version to 1.7.0 in build.gradle...



|edit| OK, a little further, but still completely lost...

And I haven't the faintest idea what that means.

@Jay, VMs are so old hat now, should use a docker container instead
