Talking to Nordic NRF52811 Eval Kit with Bluetooth Smart. Need help getting started!

So I am new to bluetooth smart (bluetooth low energy) and I am still a novice android programmer. I have a nordic nrf52811 evaluation kit and I want to connect it to my android device to tell it to do simple things such as switch pin 1 on or off, or send a stream of bytes to a certain pin etc... I have downloaded the NRF toolbox android app and looked at the source code, but the app has so many sub-apps that its hard to parse and i can't isolate the simple things (such as setting up and establishing a connection). Right now i just want to get my foot in the door, so all i really want to do is create a simple app with a button to scan for devices, connect to devices, and then a couple buttons to flip outputs on the board. Also if anyone has any experience with firmware programming for the nordic devices, or knows where i can go to ease myself into it, that would be great. Their sample programs are too robust for a beginner to learn from.
