A general chat for developers. Don't ask to ask, just ask. Here's how: https://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask
I am a newbie Android developer currently learning Kotlin and having considerable knowledge in Java. I've built some apps, all of which can be saw on my GitHub. Anyways, right now I need some help.
I want to start freelancing, but I am not sure whether I have the right skillset to become a freelancer. Certainly, I can make interesting apps using image loading libraries, Retrofit and Jetpack Libraries, but still I know that I need to master some more skills.
How to understand that I have enough skills to be a freelancer? Is it possible to be a freelancer if you have no prior experience, but only pet projects? Is there any freelancer who can become my mentor or give me some tasks to do for money?
(right now I am not in the best financial situation, I need to help my family. They lost their jobs, as everyone in our country :( )
(I will be so glad to receive some respond! Thanks to everyone in advance! )

Every developer has to start at zero. :-)
As with any task, there is no need to know "everything" before you start. Generally you learn the most useful things while already on the job. The one thing to accept is that when you look back later at the first few things you did, you'll realize you could have done much better. That's just progress.
I'm not experienced at freelancing myself and I don't know the details of your specific situation, but if you already have some prior knowledge, you want to start and your financial situation is asking for it, then everything seems to point to "start now".
If you have a more specific question, please don't hesitate to ask that.

Well, maybe, you could recommend me some freelance services that you've heard of. I know that you are not a freelancer, but at least you may have some friend, who is into it. I've heard of UpWork, but as far as I know you need to pay 10$ to just get an order and work for it, but I don't even have that much of spare money. Are there some free options when it comes to freelancing services?
I feel terribly sorry for a late reply, I just wasn't notified of your answer.

I've worked on Upwork for a while (Free plan). They used an internal currency called connects. It costs around 2-6 connects every time you apply for a job. Every month you get 10 free connects (for Free plan) and every time you reply to a message from clients, you get 10 free connects. You can also buy extra connects if you want. When you first register on the site, I think you get a couple tens free connects too.
So you don't necessarily have to pay to get a job. You can try now and see how things go with the free connects you have. It's maybe hard to get started with limited number of proposals you can submit and when you don't have any reviews yet, so you should not rely on Upwork. Try to look for opportunities from different platforms/sources at the same time.

but how to make a restriction on an area
because if I create a socket web channel in which all users are plugged in it may send a huge result to be processed
Unless I permanently record the location of users?
What do you think about it ?
