override fun onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {

required Bundle ,found Bundle?

listOf error

I am puzzled why listOf isn't recognized

savedInstanceState always remains null after restart

savedInstanceState will always remain null after the app is killed. It is not passed on to the bundle.

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) 
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    if (savedInstanceState != null) { ... }
}

This bug exists since 5 years and Google has decided not to fix this anymore in 2020:

As also discussed here on StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6554317/savedinstancestate-is-always-null

I'm learning Android right now and find that quite a strange decision from Google. I hope there are other ways to persist the data and retrieve it at app start.

kill vs force-stop

kill didn't work for me, only force-stop. What is the difference and why did kill not work?
adb shell am force-stop com.example.android.dessertpusher

Issues building the app with Android Studio Hedgehog

Hey folks, I just started with this lesson and I had a lot of issues getting the app build. I initially checked out the starter-code and went down a rabbit hole trying it to get the build and eventually gave up.

A coworker helped me and got the master branch to run, but I had to tweak both the compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion to version 34, up from 31

Android Studio info:

Android Studio Hedgehog | 2023.1.1 Patch 1
Build #AI-231.9392.1.2311.11255304, built on December 26, 2023

    google-java-format (1.17.0.0)
    idea.plugin.protoeditor (231.9225.5)

I was using JDK 17, the one bundled with Android Studio.

However the starter-code branch fails, from the get go, with this error:

Unsupported Java. 
Your build is currently configured to use Java 17.0.7 and Gradle 6.1.1.

Possible solution:
 - Upgrade Gradle wrapper to 7.2 version and re-import the project

Diffing between master and this branch helps, but without some Git-foo and my colleague's help it would have been a nightmare to get this to run.
