This is one of the best hands on courses on Android. Dr. Porter explains theory with examples. Lab assignments encouraged me to research the web to formulate the solutions. Project at the end of the course makes use of all concepts taught during lectures and then some more. I will be subscribing to Part 2 of this course for sure. Many thanks to Dr. Porter and team.

Very interesting course and a highly recommended instructor.

Course automatic notification system informed me to finish assignments until XXXXXX date. Assignments were submitted in time, but, anyway, didn’t grade. Notification and checking systems needed to be revised, bugs need to be fixed. I will never buy certificates in Coursera, because from this time no trust to this service. The course is very good. But first assignments a difficult to be done, more learning materials needed. Anyway, the most important thing I got is knowledge, that is priceless
Fatma S S A –
good course and i learn a lot from it
Nigele M –
I wish the submission process was different.

Great so far. I have learned a lot about the basics of android programming in this course. The lectures are very concise and to the point.
Alex G –
Classes are well explained. Course material however is not updated to changes to Android since v. 6.0, which gives problems for example with permissions. That’s a bummer. What really is frustrating is the resource exhausting Android emulator, which is almost unworkable. You can use your real phone for installs but you’ll run into trouble with versions > 4. So the material and assignments should be updated to version 6 or higher to make this course worthwile.
Anas Z –
I think this is the most helpful course that I have taken until now. I am not that perfect at Java but this course makes me understanding both Java and Android. Thanks a lot.

The course is good. One can try it. But the last weeks assignment is horrible.

I took this course as a quick bootstrap into Android development. Dr. Adam Porter provides clear, informative, step by step videos, which I was able to comfortably enjoy at 1.5 times speed. (He speaks clear and slow for people who may not have English as a first language.) I chose this course over others because I already know iOS development and have been using Java for years. I wanted a course that focused primarily on the structure of beginner Android apps and not on Java or general topics in mobile development or CS. The assignments were just what I needed to exercise my new skills and really learn Android application flow and construction. In addition, I became familiar with the Android IDE. The only small negative is that the examples are getting old since the course uses API level 18. However, using level 18 did not impact what I was able to learn. All the examples and labs imported with only minor issues and ran fine. Reading the detailed lab assignments provided good instructions. I’m ready to start my first Android app now, but I still have more to learn.

There’s a little gap between theory and practice, so you have to make a bit of research on the side, but an excelent course anyway. Learned a lot. Looking forward to start Part 2
Mary A S –
Learned the basics of Android Programming, will embark to the next part. Kudos!
Jayadev H –
little bit slow and simple, part 2 is better, but still a must!
Chiranjeevi R –
Interactive tutorials with nice assignments, 4 hours per week is minimum necessary in order to pass this course!
Anjani P –
Very good and clear explanation
Sajith B S –
best
Theis N –
poorly maintained exercises which require hours of fixing in order to submit and pass tests
Shifeng X –
excellent course! but if you’re a new learner, suggest not to hurry to do the 1st or 2nd programming assignment, try to go through the course first.
Nikola S –
Very well explained, though content could’ve been updated (considering code versions to keep up with new versions of Android where Permissions are required to be accepted during running the app).
Ali H A A –
Very clear explanation Great style in providing information Amazing selection of topics Thanks
Jordi G E –
One of the best courses ever. I highly recommend it.
Tal K –
thanks very much , your great
Mateus R P –
I’ve found an excellent content about Android development, the Professor Adam Porter is amazing, so I think the improvement that i had acquired is so valuable.
Robin M –
The course is becoming dated. Some of the current tutorial and lab items will not work in 2019.
Gouri B –
Very well presented, very hands on course. Only problem I faced was due to the examples being a bit dated, needed to tweak these to work in the latest Android Studio setup. (Did I miss out on downloading the latest examples?)
Swastik R –
good for android students
Peter C –
Paid for this course a couple of years ago and finished it with no real problems but didn’t use what I’d learned nor did I continue with the next course. I decided to retake this class to brush up so I could take Part 2. However, the course material hasn’t been updated to keep pace with the changes to Android and Android Studio. Assignment projects don’t import properly and deprecated classes are being used instead of their replacements. I managed to update my original final project (ModernArtUI) to current standards and have decided that I’m better off (and will learn more) by continuing by myself.
