Course Overview
Android Studio is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) designed for developing Android apps. This course introduces the software, then moves straight into UI development using the sophisticated, WYSIWYG layout editor and XML code to design and test complex interfaces for a wide variety of screen configurations. In addition, the course covers application logic development, exploring the latest APIs provided by the SDK. One of Android Studio’s greatest features is the large number of third-party plugins available for it, and this course explores the most useful of these, along with samples and libraries that can be found on GitHub. Finally, the course deals with the final stages of development: building and distribution.
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to do the following:
- Create styles, themes, and material designs
- Set up, configure, and run virtual devices using the AVD manager
- Improve the design of your application using support libraries
- Use GitHub libraries
- Use emulators to design layouts for a wide variety of devices, including wearables.
- Improve application performance in terms of memory, speed, and power usage
