This is a hands‐on training for designing and building mobile applications using
Android™ open‐source platform. This course explains the philosophy of developing for
Android™ through its main application development building blocks and their
interaction with one another along with introduction to attractive APIs in the
platform.
This hands‐on course encourages the trainees to learn by building increasingly more
sophisticated and meaningful mobile applications for Android™ through the approach
of learning by examples and small tutorials along with explanations of underlying
mechanisms.
By the end of the course, each participant will build their own complete Android
application incorporating most of the key aspects of the platform.
This course does not included advanced features required by platform developers.
This course is designed for only application developers.
The course has been updated for Ice Cream Sandwich.
Course Duration
15 days (3 hours/session and 3 sessions/week)
Course Objectives
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
● Build your own Android apps
● Understand how Android™ applications work, their life cycle, manifest, Intents,
and using external resources
● Design and develop useful Android™ applications with compelling user
interfaces by using, extending, and creating your own layouts and Views and
using Menus.
● Take advantage of Android's Application Framework API to build complex
applications.
● Utilize the power of background services, threads, and notifications.
● Use Android's communication APIs for SMS, telephony, network management,
