I have been learning android dev in android studio for the past 20 days from the book "Head First Android Development" and as I am starting new chapters, there are always new methods, inner classes... of new widgets getting introduced to me and it's getting hard to memorize all these stuff!

Can someone give me some advice? In serious need of help.

Do all the professional android developers keep a guide with them while they are developing apps?

    Don't try to memorize it.

    Everybody from every skill level googles stuff (imo). It’s impossible to memorize everything, there’s too much!

    No they google it, just like every other dev in every other framework. No one that I know remembers every syntax option always. Sr developer=expert googler with good architecture skills.

    Try to get a hang of what kind of options there are and when they are helpful, not how to use them. You can always refer to the documentation if you know what you're looking for. The hard part is knowing what you should be looking for.

    Especially after coding in more languages... Sometimes I look up for a simple foreach :D The point is not memorizing but to understand which part is doing what job and why, on multiple levels of abstraction, at least on one where you work. It's enough to know which tool you need for the specific job, you don't need to store the tool itself in your head.
