My filthy attempt at making an Android app

Ok, so ladies' hackathon going on right now. I made my first attempt at Android dev this week. Mobile web app, but I don't know JS. Well, like I'm kind of familiar with the syntax and everything, but I don't really know JS/JQuery if you know what I mean. I added some small touches on my little eportfolio thing that I made last month, but that was about it. No real programs written with it.
I've kind of been focused on writing functions or 100-200 line C-style programs in my programming career thus far, it's good to take up a challenge like this to see where it takes me.
HOWEVER, IT'S INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING.
Like the pathway is like

int total_time = 30;

int carolynslife(){
if (carolyn.knowsAndroidSetUp){
    if (carolyn.knowsJS){
          total_time -= 3;
          write_code();
          return WIN_AT_LIFE;
     } else return GIVE_UP;
} else {
         carolyn.readAndroidTutorial;
         total_time -= 3;
         return GIVE_UP;
          }
}

Just kidding. This is cool! It might turn out to be a big ass waste of my time because I'm not really into app development, especially FRONT END app development, but CS is all about learning stuff rapidly, and I'm going to push my boundaries on how much I can teach myself and use resources. And if it turns out to be really really dumb, I can just jump ship.
