Description

Android is the most popular platform used by developers to build dynamic, production-ready mobile applications.

This 2-in-1 comprehensive course teaches you different Android development patterns that will enable you to write clean code and make your app stand out in the crowd. Create a clear path from problem to solution, and although applying a design pattern does not guarantee best practice in itself, it will hugely assist the process and make the discovery of design flaws far easier.

Contents and Overview

This training program includes 2 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible.

The first course, Android Design Patterns and Best Practices – Volume 1, starts by introducing the Android development environment and exploring its support libraries. Gradually explore the different design and layout patterns and get to know best practices for how to use them together. Finally, you’ll develop an application that will help you grasp activities, services, and broadcasts and their roles in Android development.

The second course, Android Design Patterns and Best Practices – Volume 2, shows you how to add user-detecting classes and APIs such as gesture detection touch screen listeners and sensors to your app. Learn to adapt your app to run on tablets and other devices and platforms, including Android Wear, auto, and TV. Finally, you will see how to connect your app to social media.

By the end of this training program, you will have all the skills and practical knowledge to implement industry-standard design patterns and best practices to reduce your app development drastically.
