I'm not very experienced with developing app/tools, but I really want to develop (if practically possible) a tool that would notify the owner of the Google Drive folder of the information related to someone else accessing the folder (assuming that the folder is shared with that someone) such as, Access Date/Time, Accessed By etc. In my opinion, this would only be done if the user/owner has the tool/app opened/switched on.
I was reading the Google Drive API but couldn't find anything useful on this.
I'd like to know how to get started with this project, if this is even possible? I'm not very experienced but I want to learn as I grow.

I recommend going though the Google Drive API. When set up correctly Changes.watch will notify you when ever a file has been changed the trick for you will then be to notify your user.
Alternative would be to just check the file every now and then and see if it had been changed using file.get. However this is probably over kill depending upon how soon after the change you want to know about it.
I am not an android dev so cant help you much more then that. Your question is rather broad so once you start working with it if you have any issues getting it working I recommend you ask a new question directly related to those issues. Welcome to stack

i want to contribute to a fandom i'm in and also practice my coding, so i wanted to make an app that would let the user keep track of the event stories they've read. but i don't know where to start with this.
i can add extra features like scoring and total stories read later on, but for now i need an idea of where to start. i think i've heard java would work for this? but would that even work on android and ios both??
once i know what programming language to use i need to find something to code this on, as well as how to even hold information in a database. (similar to myanimelist and how it has a database of entries that you can add to your own list.) likely with a login system--but one step at a time.
what are the basics i need to know to start? and where would i build this app? thank you!
If you want a single application that can work on both ios and android then go for Flutter or React Native. For your question regarding where to keep database and how login system works you will need to study at-least one of the systems in some depth.

(Android App/Web App) (Noob) How do I get started on making an app like this? [closed]

Ok so first off: I am a complete noob when it comes to Android app development. I used to have Android studio and wanted to make an app. I found it very confusing and hard to learn.
Second: I know HTML and CSS pretty well, but not JS or XML or any other languages.
I want to make an app that is basically a vault. When you open it, you get a login screen (with fingerprint login preferred). Then you login and are presented with a vault to store images, files, and etc.
I have no clue where to get started or what to learn. I want to learn how, but it seems very confusing to me.
I could also make this a web app so which ever is easier, let me know.
Thanks for the help!
What I suggest is you start with very small projects. In each one, aim to make something you haven't tried before (don't be repetitive in your apps). I suggest you make the following apps, so in each one you learn a little about what shall be useful:
+/- Calculator
Application which asks for a password, and if correct, sends you to a second activity
Application which can save information even if the application is closed
Application which can shows a series of images one below another
(scrolling down)
This will get you a nice idea on Android Basics which will be useful for your project. If you were to jump directly into it, you would find yourself in a sea of abstract information and have no idea what to do.
Remember: small projects give you better understanding. Google and StackOverflow are your best friends

I personally am completely self-taught when it comes to android, and, well, its been a journey.
For me, a big turning point was

It really gives you a good idea of what it takes to create an app that is connected to the internet, and it isn't hard to implement yourself. Mind you, before, you were working with just android, but once you integrate network connectivity and a server backend, the levels of complexity multiply.
If you're a solo-developer, just getting started, the Google App Engine does a pretty good job of making everything very easy to use, so I might recommend that. It has a free trial of all their cloud services which is $300 for 2 months.

Amazon AWS also is attempting to create a similar system, but they are seemingly geared to more enterprise-level operations.

I found out that someone has copied my app name, and also almost all its functions!
Now, my app has not a lot of downloads, but however this makes me really angry! is there something i can do to remove it from the google play store?
yes i know that marketing works like that, but its name is exactly the same of mine...
this is my app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrMr.funny.metronome&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5tck1yLmZ1bm55Lm1ldHJvbm9tZSJd

I would like to report my experience. I was looking for an app to look for an Italian tax information about vehicles, I found some and all of them sucked a lot. So I decided to write down another better one. Now it's the most downloaded one (among them) and it provides more functionalities and is more appealing.
So, why someone else shouldn't try to improve what you offer? That's simple market.
There is nothing you can do within the Play Store.
The only way you could block another app with the same name and functions would be (in US) if you had a trademark registered on the name, or a patent registered for the functionality.
There is nothing within the the 'Terms of Service' of the store that would prohibit someone from copying your app (or functionality) - or any recourse for you to get it removed.
You can try to effect the other app (give it one star reviews, leave a comment in the ratings saying "this is just a copy of the better app named...", etc).
Bottom line you have no recourse to have the app removed - sorry.

Android: UUID and Licensing [closed]

I am looking to find the most efficient way to create an application that has a 30 day trial and then forces the user to buy the full paid version if they like the demo's features.
I was looking for suggestions as the best way to implement a license for the app. Here were some thoughts I had:
-Sharedprefs - This would work until the user uninstalled and reinstalled the app. The trial period would essentially start over.
-Use Device ID - I thought I could get a device serial number and upload the data to a server. Then I came accross http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/03/identifying-app-installations.html that showed the issues with trying to get a user id for a device.
UUID- It seemed like this was the best option. However, would someone be able to give me an overview of how to implement this and how it works. Also what are the limitations.
A sample implementation is already presented in the blog that you have cited.
Limitations: For your case, UUID won't work. Since, the user can actually delete whatever file/UUID you use for tracking (not easy, but doable)
Your requirement is to track devices. So, perhaps, go for telephony ID, Mac ID or a combination of both.
