I presume that it is an app on Android. There is also an emulator on which you can test and get debug output to a screen. You can also use the dev env to also output back to the dev PC through USB and see the diag messages.
Sounds like the youngster wants the whole solution dropped on their lap so they can declare success w/o any effort.
I don’t consider myself even close to an Android expert.
[quote=flu]I learned a new acronym today from a colleague when I told him about this…
RTFM….
I would have never known….[/quote]Hehe, I’m surprised you never heard of RTFM. Although, my last company’s slogan was “Life’s too short for user manual” :-).
I don’t get it. If that is a side project he should not be working on it (i.e. contacting you) during business hours. And if it is not a side project someone likely made a mistake assigning the task to your coworker.

Why would it be a mistake? There’s nothing wrong with learning new stuff and expanding your horizon and area of expertise. In an engineering profession, you would want to be given these type of opportunities vs being put in a corner doing the same stuff over and over and over again. This youngster is just lazy and not RTFM.

He’s a junior person assigned to the project. No idea who/what they are doing….There’s nothing wrong with not knowing how to do it… But what is very funny is, if this was a test of how well someone can adapt to new things, this would be the contrarian indicator.
