I'm having a problem, I'm new to android development, I'm having a question. My app is looking for a .json file on my computer, but when I change a word and open my emulator with the app it does not update. (refreshes when I clear the app cache). But how do I make sure he does not have to do this every time?
I'm using this code as an example:
package info.androidhive.listviewfeed;
import info.androidhive.listviewfeed.adapter.FeedListAdapter;
