Dr. Jerry Roth
This MOOC teaches you how to program core features and classes from the Java programming language that are used in Android, which is the dominant platform for developing and deploying mobile device apps. In particular, this MOOC covers key Java programming language features that control the flow of execution through an app (such as Java’s various looping constructs and conditional statements), enable access to structured data (such as Java’s built–in arrays and common classes in the Java Collections Framework, such as ArrayList and HashMap), group related operations and data into classes and interfaces (such as Java’s primitive and user–defined types, fields, methods, generic parameters, and exceptions), customize the behavior of existing classes via inheritance and polymorphism (such as subclassing and overriding virtual methods). Learners will apply these Java features in the context of core Android components (such as Activities and basic UI elements) by applying common tools (such as Android Studio) needed to develop Java programs and useful Android apps. Learners will work on several hands–on projects throughout the MOOC, i.e., each week will require learners to write solutions to programming assignments that reinforce the material covered in the lecture videos. There will be roughly 4–6 hours of student engagement time per …

Good course. It could be made more interesting.

Excellent course, good programming exercises. Tutors provide good and quick support. The course is extremely basic though and meant for absolute beginners. This is in start contrast to the next MOOC in this series, which suddenly increases the difficulty level by quite a bit.

I learned a great deal, even though I already read a book on Java. This is a good course to brush up on the Java coding language. I’m hoping to learn Android programming by after taking this course. This one helped with Java coding. Not really Android app creating. Either way, this course is great for building the basics and prepping you with the tools before entering any form of Android app programming. I just finished this course within 2 weeks. I’m heading onto the second course, which I’m hyped for since all the content provided so far is priceless. Thank you again.

This is the best course for the basics of Java for Android. Concepts are easy to understand and deeply addressed. All Assignments and quizzes are ok except for HerdManager.java and FilltheCorral.java because it is difficult to understand the requirements of Assignment( i.e what is herd, what is corral, what is pasture, in other words, you have to learn these terms in order to attempt the assignment so this assignment is difficult in this context) while the rest is BEST! It has increased my learning.

Great Course
Yu A C –
This course talk about basic java coding with android studio. It is useful for beginner who doesn’t have coding background. However, the version of android code examples are too old! The compileSdkVersion is 22, and gradle version is 2 in all example. Students need spend lots of time to study how to update the gradle and sdk version. I think the updating version skill is very important in this course but doesn’t taught in class.

Awesome course for the beginners but the version of android studio is old.. If the course is done using the latest version of android studio then it will be the best course for the beginners.

Java for Android by Vanderbilt University and Taught by Dr. Jerry Roth, Dr. Julie L. Johnson, Michael Walker & Dr. Douglas C. Schmidt Excellent! The wonderful culmination of this specialization. I learned so much from all of the courses and appreciated the last to pull it all together. I highly recommend it to everyone! So grateful to everyone for these life–changing courses.

A great course to know some Java features like class, interface, polymorphism, overload, overwrite
Anmol C –
Excellent course for new android studio user but need update as per new version.
Mehmet A M –
If you really new in Java you can start with this course. The Android part should be updated though. The assignments make use of old versions of Android Studio plugins
AZAD R –
it is the best option for android developer to learn and get the certificate
Jasbir –
Great Course
Archisha S –
Very good and well organised content. The focus is more on Java and there is not much learning about android as such.
Ronie M –
Good course but the peer review is not. Checking the submissions should not be OFFLOADED to the students. Code review (peer review) is a good way to collaborate and find issues but it will not work on a MOOC. Why? (1) We are not a team, we are individuals who study by ourselves and we have different timelines. One individual might finish the course in one week, others might be in a month. This is the reason why we see a lot of posts on the discussions asking for code review. (2) A lot of people here are just beginners which results to subjective reviews. Good reviews come from those with experience (should be the instructors). (3) Plagiarism – it hurts my eyes seeing duplicated works.
