I want to build a dating app.

What tools on here would lead me to create a dating app on android? What videos should I watch that will teach everything I need to know?

First thing is to identify how you want your app to function. do you want it to swipe right and left? do you want to have a bio with each profile? what do you want to do?

So what your saying is you want to rebuild tinder?

Well, first thing is to break everything down. How much do you know about arrays, and objects? Basically what tinder is, is an array of objects for male and female, then an empty array when you swipe right, then the array that is of swiped right has a conditional statement that says if both users are in the swiped right array, that is a match. And there you go. That is the basic breakdown of tinder, for the most part. You also have to add geolocation and a bunch more to it.
