Wanted to make a schedule for myself that was (hopefully) light-weight. Right now it just has the bare essential function of saving text for a certain day.

Looking for advice on literally anything that could improve the code ie. more efficient/better style/adhering to standards/etc.

Here is a link to the github repository for easier reading: https://github.com/kalenpw/Kalendar

And the three main classes:

MainActivity.java

  • \$\begingroup\$ You may already know this but on Android 6.0 and up apps that use "dangerous permissions" need to ask for permission at runtime. As far as I know writing to the sd card needs WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE which is a dangerous permission developer.android.com/guide/topics/permissions/… \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @Bethan I actually didn't know that. Thanks for pointing that out however, I believe it does that automatically because when the app is launched for the first time it asks you to enable some permissions for that \$\endgroup\$

Please have a look at Java naming convention. "Except for variables, all instance, class, and class constants are in mixed case with a lowercase first letter. Internal words start with capital letters. Variable names should not start with underscore _ or dollar sign $ characters, even though both are allowed."

I also would reccomend not to do heavy operations in main thread, as for example, in your code in onCreate() method

    _Schedule = fh.deserializeObject();

It may cause ANR - Application Not Responding
