Introduction to Android Development:
Understand Android architecture, set up Android Studio,
explore SDK and AVD, and learn the project structure
including manifest, resources, and Gradle.
Building UI with XML: Design layouts
using Linear, Relative, and Constraint Layouts, implement
views like TextView, Button, and ImageView, work with
RecyclerView, and follow Material Design principles.
Activity & Fragment Lifecycle: Learn
activity lifecycle methods, intents & intent filters,
fragment communication, and navigating between multiple
screens.
Kotlin/Java Fundamentals: Understand OOP
concepts, lambdas, collections, null safety in Kotlin, and
key differences between Java and Kotlin in Android.
Data Storage in Android: Work with
SharedPreferences, internal/external storage, SQLite
database, and Room Persistence Library for structured data
storage.
Networking: Fetch data using REST APIs,
parse JSON, integrate Retrofit & OkHttp, and use
Coroutines or AsyncTask for asynchronous tasks.
Background Work: Implement foreground &
background services, WorkManager, JobScheduler, and handle
notifications with PendingIntent.
Jetpack Components: Utilize LiveData,
ViewModel, Navigation Component, Data Binding, and other
lifecycle-aware components for robust app architecture.
Firebase Integration: Add authentication,
real-time database/Firestore, and push notifications using
Firebase Cloud Messaging.
App Publishing & Advanced Topics: Debug
and optimize your app, generate signed APKs, publish to
the Play Store, use ProGuard & Multidex, explore
dependency injection (Hilt/Dagger), and perform unit & UI
testing.
