Where can I find the latest Android development tutorials?

The logical answer to this question would be the official tutorials on developer.android.com , right? However, in the case of Android, this does not seem to be the case.
I'm taking my first steps in Android development, currently using Android Studio 1.1.0, a development environment developed by Google itself. gradle options:

compileSdkVersion 22
buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 22

The IDE kindly suggests using Activity templates, which is quite a tempting offer for a newbie. However, by selecting, for example, Navigation Drawer Activity , the development environment starts complaining about the code that it produced. Namely, to use the class marked as "deprecated" -- android.support.v4.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle . It is suggested to use android.support.v7.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle instead . Simply changing the import does not immediately solve the problem, because one of the constructor parameters has changed:

To recap: the Android development environment created by the Android development corporation generates legacy code. Okay, I thought, let's read the official tutorial and do everything by hand. We are watchingCreating a Navigation Drawer and see that the example given there is identical to the code that was generated by the development environment.
This is just one example. Can you please explain how this is to be understood? Where to look for really fresh tutorials to help you do the most basic things?

Nobody is immune from mistakes. And Google is no exception.
What you can do:
1) Write about it in the Studio bug tracker. Perhaps this will be fixed.
2) Dig even deeper and do it right - practice + experience for you :)
3) You will not find fresh tutorials anywhere in general on all topics. Start a blog and write tutorials on the topics you need yourself) So to say "From a beginner to beginners"

For example, here https://foxminded.com.ua/android/ you can work in a team on a real project, study + practice. Knowledge of Java Core is welcome. If from scratch, it is better to immediately take courses.
