AC Question

Hi. I would like to start everything from scratch. Still haven't downloaded the Android Studio, too. This will be my first app. I'm exploring on what can I do for now, preferably about the database.

I just want to know, in what form should I compose my database? Can I do it first before the codes? Is there a recommended format and arrangement for easier entry management?

Basic content: I will have around 20,000 word entries and their meanings (multiple meanings usually). I will add text-to-speech feature in the future when the app seems to be good for further developments.

Please guide me on this. Thanks in advance!
 
well, about the database section I can help you with this stackoverflow question and the answers are good:
How do I structure a Cross Referenceble Multi Language Dictionary Database? - Stack Overflow
but with the programming/developing part I strongly recommend to study the courses of udacity offered by google if you're still newbie & have not coded any android app.
here is the link showing the curriculum:
https://github.com/Enteleform/-RES-...iculum.md#how-do-the-nanodegree-programs-work
just take the first 5 courses to get familiar with android framework.
good luck.
