👋 Android Studio is your IDE for developing your Android application right? pip is a tool you use with Python on a server
usually you don't do that coding in Android Studio. But still the error is mostly that you likely don't have pip installed on your Windows machine. And so you need to figure that out first as the Python developer

Ok. So, how can I implement 'import stripe;' here? 🙂

How do you usually write python code and import libraries on your machine?
https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installation/ like if you've never used this you'd want to read this first

This is my first code actually, because I'm trying to fix a problem I have right now. I'm just a self-taught man, who only uses things, when I need them 😅 🤓
wind siren
okay so what are you trying to do? Why are you using pip? Which doc are you following?

I just need to do this. So that I can use the Stripe API in my app?
wind siren
What does "do this" mean though? Stripe has dozens of ways to integrate. If you can take a minute to explain what you are doing exactly since "import stripe" is just one step of many, that would be great

Sorry for that. 🫂

all good, if you show me what doc you're following then I can help

I want to write a step counter app, which has a payment option implemented, to get a payout via Stripe (for example), to a bank account using the generated amount of steps taken. So that Stripe as Payment API pays me for walking. 😇 🤓
Simply said.
wind siren
you just dumped your whole code on me though
Like this is the Android app, which exact doc are you following? If none, that's the first issue, you should follow and end to end guide

Sorry, I'm just a newbie, who never worked with Android Studio or Stripe before....

Which doc do you mean? 😅
I'm following my idea in my head, trying to get it to reality ^^ 😅 😇 🤓
harsh light
Ok. I try. 🫂
wind siren
I don't really get who will pay you for taking steps. Like is another person paying for your steps?
harsh light
No, the app shall pay for itself if I can manage to get a payout option.
wind siren
I don't understand what any of this could mean
Stripe allows you to accept payments, so someone has to pay right?
harsh light
In some words, I would pay myself ^^
wind siren
but why, you're going to pay a fee on that payment? 😅
ultimately collecting payments is not too hard, paying yourself is a bit harder. You also need to understand how to run code server-side.
harsh light
I just want to connect a step counter to be based as payout amount for a transfer to bank account. ^^
wind siren
yeah moving money is a bit harder than this though
to "pay someone to a bank account" someone must first have collected money and stored it, there are rules and regulations around what you can do with money, who can receive, etc.
And I still don't understand why you want to "take a payment" if really you want to "send money to someone"
harsh light
Yeah, I may have difficulties to explain my idea.... Thank you anyway for trying to help me. 🙏 🫂
I hope, I can finish my app succesfully anyway. 🙏
wind siren
I mean I want to help but you do need to try and clarify who pays who when
