When learning to build an Android application, you start by learning the basics and then move to learn the libraries used in Android development. But you rarely learn the correct way to use these libraries together, to make a consistent, well designed and well developed application. This is where this course comes in.
Here we use the latest tools and techniques to build an app that is scalable and maintainable, to the latest standards in Android development.
After taking this course, you will know how to build a new app from scratch, in a way that you can later expand and improve without compromising on architecture.
We will use many of the most common libraries and tools in use today in Android development.
- Jetpack Compose as a foundation is imperative these days, and the whole ecosystem is moving towards this development pattern
- MVVMarchitecture is a standard in all well designed apps
- Kotlin Coroutines and Flows are extremely useful and recommended by Google to run functionality on the background thread
- Jetpack navigation for moving around in the app
- Retrofit for network communications is a standard for all apps that talk to a backend API
- Hilt Dependency Injection has become a standard library that decouples object creation from use
- Room database is essential for storing data in the app long term
- A network monitoring service is a very common practice to keep the user updated of any changes in network connectivity
All these tools and libraries are common place in most apps that you will build, and this course teaches you how to use them together to implement an app that is scalable, maintainable and testable.
If you want to take your development skills to the next level and become an expert Android developer, this course is for you.
