Description

The AND-801 course introduces Android development using Android Studio, the official Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for Android applications. You’ll learn to use Java and Kotlin, the two primary programming languages for Android development, and gain hands-on experience in designing, building, testing, and deploying Android apps. The course covers key topics such as user interface (UI) design, data storage, networking, background processing, APIs, and much more.

By the end of the course, you’ll have built multiple Android applications, developed a solid understanding of Android app architecture, and gained practical knowledge of the tools and frameworks that make Android app development efficient and scalable.

Key Features of the Course

• Introduction to Android Studio: Learn how to set up your development environment and navigate Android Studio’s powerful features.

• Mastering Java and Kotlin: Understand the core concepts of Android programming using Java and Kotlin, including object-oriented programming (OOP), data structures, and algorithms.

• User Interface Design: Learn how to design responsive and visually appealing user interfaces (UIs) using Android's layout components, XML, and material design principles.

• Data Persistence: Explore local data storage solutions like SQLite and Room Database, and learn how to manage persistent data in Android apps.

• Networking and APIs: Understand how to make network requests, parse data from web services, and integrate APIs such as Retrofit and Volley to add online functionality to your apps.

• Background Processes and Services: Learn about background processing, including working with AsyncTask, Services, and WorkManager to handle tasks in the background.

• Advanced Android Features: Dive deeper into advanced topics like Firebase integration, notifications, maps, and GPS, using Android’s powerful libraries and third-party services.

• Testing and Debugging: Gain hands-on experience in writing unit tests, debugging Android apps, and using tools like Android Debug Bridge (ADB) to troubleshoot and optimize your applications.

• Publishing and Monetization: Learn the process of publishing your app to the Google Play Store, optimizing for performance, and exploring monetization strategies such as in-app purchases and ads.
