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.
