 Tips:
 * Use Android Studio!  It is by far the easiest way to create Android Apps!
+
+* Go through the android developer tutorial!  It goes over everything you need from creating a GUI to saving data.
+
 * Do not use Android Studio's drag and drop widget feature to create a GUI because it hardcodes values instead of using ratios
   which is bad practice! (this would make the app appear differently on different devices based on the screen size).

+
 * Save to the external storage and not internal (Android names part of internal storage as external storage so that a device without
   physical external storage will always be able to store data in "external storage".  Beware of this!)
+
 * When you create a new file, you have to tell the Android operating system that there is a new file.  If you do not do this, it will
   appear as if the program is running smoothly until you try to access the files on a computer; the files do not show up on device viewer!

+
 * Use a library like GSON which makes serialization and deserialization a breeze!
+
 * Although GSON will make a JSON file, you still need to represent the code in a human readable format!  For this, I use CSV which I create
   without the help of a library.  I saved individual matches in CSV files and I created a file called SUPER_FILE which combines the CSV files
   into one large spreadsheet.  This spreadsheet shows every team and all the teams' statistics so someone can quickly retrieve general information.
+
 * Use XML to create static layouts (layouts that will stay the same) and Java to create dynamic layouts (layouts that will or may change).
