Android Kit Kat 4.4 is both Beautiful & Immersive. It has a more polished design, improved performance, and a TON of new features. In fact, this latest Android Update from Google is all set to match Apple’s iOS 8
In our Complete Android Programming Course, we will walk you through the fundamentals of Android app development in Java. You will learn ALL the skills needed to develop exciting and powerful Android mobile apps using the latest versions of the SDK and the new Android Studio development environment.
If you are truly interested in learning mobile app development for the Android platform, then this is the course for you.
What You Will Learn
We’ll start with the basics: activities and layouts. You’ll learn how to create user interfaces and how to drive them from activities, and how to harness the power of intents to link activities into a compelling user experience.
Of course, an app is nothing without its data, and Android has some pretty powerful tools to store that data.
We’ll talk about SQLite, the mobile version of the popular SQL relational database management system. You’ll learn how to store data in SQLite databases, and how to retrieve that data later and use it to populate several different types of user interface controls. Making your apps sparkle with 2D and 3D graphics will also be covered. You’ll learn some basic animation techniques to use with any view in the course, but you’ll also learn how to animate any object that is, to change its properties over time! This is a powerful technique that can be used not just for traditional animation, but for any time–bound task. We’ll also discuss the OpenGL–ES 3D graphics library.

The explanations were good. I like it that they have a lot of demos with code samples. Also, the assignments are a good idea. I’ve been working as an Android developer for 3 years and still this was useful for me. Money well spent 🙂

There is a newer version of this course which appeared after I purchased this version, which may have addressed some of the problems I experienced with this course. The theory sections of this course are very well done, with clear and thorough explanations of each topic. There are demonstration programs, which are just presentations of working code and do not cover the actual writing of the programs. For Android, this is a big drawback, as there are a number of XML files that need to be edited in addition to the Java code, and it is not obvious to a beginner which files need to be edited or where (and how) to make the changes. A serious problem is that the course was prepared using a beta version of Android Studio. Obviously, there have been a number of changes since then, with the result that the code downloads do not build. It is (just about) possible to get them to work, by finding the relevant parts of the code and editing the files generated by Studio, but obviously you can only do this if already know how to program in Android! I have to admit I was so frustrated I gave up after only a few lectures. Fortunately I stumbled across another course, learnt how to program Android from that and decided to have another go at this one. Talking of downloaded code, each lecture has to be downloaded individually. There is no way to get the entire code in one download, which creates unnecessary work for the student. One video does not have any downloadable code, even though the lecturer was notified of this nine months ago! Bizarrely, almost all the lectures only have sound in the left hand channel! This is a little disconcerting, particularly if you listen through earphones. There seem to be a number of lectures missing. Assignments expect the student to be able to write apps which display oasts or play sounds without any instruction or hints. One of the lectures at the end encourages adding a feedback activity which sends email not covered in this course and refers to lectures about releasing an app to the Play store, which are not present. Other notable omissions include images (except for one assignment, although here the student is at least given a hint) and sprites. Rather a lot of gaps for a course which claims to be complete! So, in summary, a core of good material which seems to have been rather thrown together and left unfinished, with code samples that don’t work. Very frustrating, as the presenter is clearly an excellent instructor who is capable of delivering 5 star courses. Unfortunately, I can’t really recommend this course to anyone, except maybe someone who already knows the basics of Android programming and is prepared to do a lot of copy paste editing.

Great experience…Teacher is precise, great knowledge of structures, good examples, good ritam… 🙂 Excellent
Kostas Liakopoulos –
Excellent course
Alberto GONZALEZ –
Very clear, all needed stuff included. The assignements help you to get a mastering level. Great !
Artur Guindeira –
Transmite os conceitos b sicos para perceber o que uma app Android.
Harrisson Restrepo –
Great!
Parthi Ban –
He explaining only the code which already he did even the first example, But I need the demo want do the code from scratch then only we can easily follows
Docom –
It’s really good.
Karoline Willmann –
Great course thank you!
Vleis Walker –
Good teacher, well spoken.
Savitha Narayan –
Very clear presentation. Technical.
Walid Touijri –
need already to see examples of what is said
Gerardo Gerfauo –
Because the coach has a good methodology to teach a complex subject and the examples are very clear.
Dr Dobs –
The course had a good mix of breadth and depth. The instructor’s style was engaging, the course moved along at a good pace and the progression of the material was good for a beginning course. The assignments seemed detached from the course and there was no follow up, even on the Q&A. I was happy to see content providers, broadcasts and sensors covered. The openGL section seemed to not fit: perhaps too complex a topic for a just a few segments. Overall I enjoyed the course and found it worthwhile.
