    Android Overview

    The course Android Programming starts with a global overview of the Android operating system, which is based on a modified Linux kernel. Also discussed is how Android differs from other platforms.

    Main Building Blocks

    Subsequently the main building blocks of Android apps are covered such as activities, views, intents, services, content providers, fragments and the AndroidManifest.xml.

    Activities and UI

    The UI can be realized in Android using fragments and xml layout, but in the newer Android versions the UI is realized with composable functions. Both ways are treated in the course Android Programming with emphasis on the latter.

    Preferences and Files

    Preferences are also part of the course Android Programming including writing and reading shared preferences. Attention is also paid to reading and writing files to internal and external storage facilities.

    Advanced UI

    Advanced User Interfaces that make use of complex components and their interaction are covered as well. Design Patterns such as the MVVM or MVI Pattern and observable data types with live data are treated.

    Device Support

    Best practices, debugging and testing apps on devices are also on the schedule. The course Android Programming uses the latest version of the Android OS with Android Studio as IDE and emulators for devices.

    SQL Database

    Storing data locally in an SQLite database is also covered. This includes working with cursors for inserts and updates. Benefits of Design Patterns for data storage such as the DAO (Data Access Objects) Pattern and ViewHolder Pattern are explained.

    Content Providers and Multimedia

    Finally content providers with various MIME types and support for multimedia such as audio and video are discussed.
