Android Build a Simple Android App (retired 2014) Getting Started with Android Introduction to Methods and Classes

From 4.4 to 4.1?

Why is that the previous discussion uses 4.4 then this to 4.1?

The MainActivity is also completely different from previous.

I just updated the previous video because there were some significant changes. I need to update the entire course, but with these fixes in place you should be able to continue without any issue. I'll review the "Introduction to Methods and Classes" video and add some notes to help with the transition, but if you have any specific problems let us know here in the Forum.

It's totally fine for the version number to change, so you don't need to worry about it. Proceed with whatever you are using (4.4, I assume). Our code is written such that it will run the same on any version 2.2 and beyond. There is no difference for our app between 4.1 and 4.4. The later releases simply include new features that we could take advantage of in different kinds of apps.

Thanks a lot Ben Jakuben ! I'm just worried that something might work differently here. :D Sorry for the trouble.
