   I admit I've never written an Android app in my life!   
      
   I haven't even coded in decades.   
      
   Some day I will write a tutorial for a "hello world" Android app.   
      
   One thing I'd like to write is a camera app that does what I want.   
      
   I just finished replacing a clutch and I documented every step with   
   pictures, and the damn camera apps always fight me when working on a car in   
   less than ideal situations.   
      
   The damn front camera goes on too easily, and the settings don't get   
   remembered and the camera has to work from a sound or single tap with   
   gloves or a button.   
      
   In fact, I'd make a camera app that did only one thing and one thing only.   
   Take pictures.   
      
   If there are settings to be changed, you'd have to punch a lot of buttons,   
   on purpose, so that they don't get changed accidentally. It would be   
   optimized to take the damn picture, and nothing else.   
      
   If you did unlock and then change settings, they'd be PERMANENT. My damn   
   camera app keeps resetting to its stupid (for me) defaults.   
      
   Most of this doesn't matter in normal use, but under a car, with gloves, in   
   poor lighting, with only one hand, in odd positions, all that starts to   
   matter a lot.
