Android App Development

In this introductory module, you'll get an overview of Android development, the Android operating system, and the tools you’ll use, such as Android Studio. Learn about Android’s architecture, and understand the lifecycle of an Android app, including the different components like activities, services, and broadcast receivers.

This module covers how to set up Android Studio, the official IDE for Android development. You will also learn Java or Kotlin, the primary programming languages for Android. The module will include syntax, variables, operators, and object-oriented concepts used in Android development.

Learn how to design user interfaces for Android apps using XML layouts and ConstraintLayout. You’ll explore TextViews, Buttons, ImageViews, RecyclerView, and other UI components. This module focuses on creating beautiful, responsive, and accessible UIs using Android’s built-in tools.

Understand the concept of Activities and how they represent single screens in an Android app. Learn how to manage transitions between screens using Intents. This module also covers passing data between activities and using Fragments for creating flexible UIs.

In this module, you will learn how to use SQLite, a lightweight relational database, to store data locally on the device. You will cover creating databases, performing CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations, and handling data storage and retrieval efficiently in Android apps.

Explore how to use SharedPreferences to store simple data like user settings or app preferences. This module teaches you how to save and retrieve key-value pairs and offers insights into data persistence for small-scale storage needs.

Learn how to fetch data from web APIs in this module. You'll use HTTP and JSON to communicate with remote servers. You will also explore AsyncTask, Retrofit, and Volley libraries to handle background tasks and network requests asynchronously.

This module focuses on Firebase Realtime Database and Firestore. Learn how to create and manage cloud databases, perform CRUD operations, and sync data across devices in real-time. Firebase helps you build apps with live updates and is widely used in modern Android development.

Get introduced to Firebase, Google’s backend platform for mobile and web applications. Learn how to use Firebase Authentication to handle user sign-up, sign-in, and authentication via email, Google, and other methods. This module ensures your app has a secure authentication system.

Learn how to integrate Firebase Cloud Storage to store large files like images and videos. You’ll also learn how to send and receive push notifications to keep users engaged with your app using Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM).

In this module, you will explore how to connect your Android app with a MySQL database using a backend server. You’ll learn how to send requests to a server (via PHP or Node.js) and retrieve data from a MySQL database. This is essential for building full-stack apps with dynamic content.

Understand how to perform tasks in the background without interrupting the user experience. You’ll learn to implement Services to run background processes like fetching data or playing music. The module also covers using WorkManager for handling periodic background tasks.

Learn how to use Android’s debugging tools to troubleshoot and fix issues in your apps. Explore Logcat, Android Profiler, and Crashlytics to monitor app performance and fix bugs. You'll also cover unit testing using JUnit and UI testing with Espresso.

Learn how to monetize your Android app using In-App Purchases and Google AdMob for displaying ads. This module covers integrating Google Play’s billing system, adding ads, and maximizing revenue generation while providing a smooth user experience.

In this final module, you will learn the process of preparing and submitting your Android app to the Google Play Store. The module will cover app signing, optimizing app performance, creating app icons, and managing app versions. You’ll also explore best practices for app store optimization (ASO).
