A typical Comp Sci student will have more than "dabbled" in various languages by the 3rd year and one would hope would be a little more than "good" at it. Thus, without more information about what the OP *has* studied and knows, I can only conclude that they are ill-prepared for the task they've been given. Which is why I question why they'd be given such a task. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
