So I was given a project. It was all Android. I never worked on Android. So it's been almost 4 weeks and 2 weeks I took to understand Android concepts, debug to see the relevant classes for the requirement. Then I wanted to create a prototype as I still couldn't understand how will everything work. With little support I could get things done but still some things are missing and I am stressed about this project.
I have been working alone on it with little support from people around me.
Tomorrow if I am still not capable of making a design they might take decision ro switch my project or maybe something else.

It's a big MNC I'm working with, really think that this is not a good impression and they might think of firing me.

Although firing will give me severance but still.

What do you think? did I take a lot of time to build my solution when I didn't know anything about Android and struggled to find the people who knew the codebase? Or am I just a slow and bad developer?

    If you told them you've never done Android and they still gave you a full Android project to do by yourself, you did nothing wrong in my opinion.

    Absolutely not a reason to fire anyone..

    @devpit It's although not a full blown project but requires understanding the events passing to another Android package, understanding which class is responsible for the changes I need to do.

    Challenge was mostly to design your system into an existing system which you are not aware of.

    It's just a couple weeks, no big deal
