Android APP development crash course
According to a number of statistics, seventy-five percent of all phones are Android phones, and seventy-five percent of all Internet users connect to the Internet using their phones only. Do you realize how much Android is used? So there is a huge and insatiable market for Android application programming.
CLS has published a crash course on Android app development on our website, and this course is ideal if you want to get a step further in the field of Android app development.
In this course, you will learn, inter alia, how to develop Android by building a calculator with instructions.
Knowing that this course assumes no previous experience with Android, in the end, you will have an app to publish.
In this course, you will learn how to create a user interface using XML, as well as how to code logic using the Kotlin programming language. As these are the building blocks of any modern Android app.
With us, you will also learn how to use ConstraintLayout for layout and event listeners for application logic.
Android app development Exam Requirements
The step of passing the Android development course exam is an important step for programmers to take.
Here are some prerequisites for success in it:
1. Basic knowledge about programming
To learn any technical set one has to know what are the functions or methods, what are the variables, and how to use them to get a productive result, also know little information about data structures like arrays, linked lists, and most importantly know how to make use of them .
2. Learn Java or Kotlin
To develop an android application, you must be proficient in writing code in Java or Kotlin.
Also you have to learn any of these languages to communicate with android studio and complete app build.
Knowing that without Java or Kotlin, it is not possible to create an android application. Both languages are object-oriented programming languages.
3. Concepts of OOPs (Object-oriented Programming)
OOP concepts are the concepts of things. We can consider creating an Android app to be very easy, but building an app in the real world using only Android does not make the app much more than that.
When you get to know the basic concepts of Android closely, you have to understand OOP concepts properly. In order to achieve success in the Android development Course exam..
