  • Kotlin for Android: Deepen your Kotlin skills, focusing on features and idioms particularly useful for Android development, including null safety, coroutines for asynchronous programming, and extension functions.
  • Android Architecture Components: Master the recommended architectural patterns for Android apps, including ViewModel, LiveData, and Navigation Component, to build robust and maintainable applications.
  • Advanced UI & Material Design: Go beyond basic layouts. Learn to implement complex and adaptive user interfaces using ConstraintLayout, RecyclerView, custom views, and adhere to Google's Material Design guidelines for a polished look and feel.
  • Data Persistence: Explore various options for storing data on the device, including Shared Preferences for simple data, SQLite databases, and the Room Persistence Library for structured data.
  • Networking & APIs: Integrate your Android apps with back-end services. Learn to make HTTP requests using popular libraries like Retrofit, handle JSON data, and manage network states.
  • Background Processing: Understand how to perform long-running operations efficiently without blocking the UI thread, using techniques like WorkManager, Services, and Kotlin Coroutines.
  • Device Features & Permissions: Access and utilize device capabilities such as camera, location, notifications, and understand Android's permission model for secure access.
  • Testing & Debugging: Learn essential testing methodologies for Android apps (unit tests, instrumentation tests) and master Android Studio's powerful debugging tools.
  • App Performance & Optimization: Understand techniques for optimizing app performance, memory usage, and battery life for a smooth user experience.
  • Intermediate programming concepts: Solid understanding of object-oriented programming (OOP) principles.
  • Familiarity with mobile app development fundamentals (e.g., UI concepts, state management basics).
  • Basic understanding of data structures and algorithms.
  • Internet access: Reliable internet connection.
  • IDE: Android Studio.
  • Android device for testing, or an emulator.

Welcome to Advanced Mobile App Development (Native Android with Kotlin), your deep dive into crafting powerful and highly optimized applications specifically for the Android ecosystem.
