Android Development Version 4.2
Android Training Overview:

This fast-paced course gets the experienced Java programmer up and running with the Android API and development tools and in a position to develop useful applications that incorporate the most exciting features of emerging mobile devices. It is designed as an accelerated alternative to the series of courses, Introduction to Android Development, and Intermediate Android Development, concentrating on what many enterprises will see as the most high-value topics and techniques while leaving some areas for later study. The lab software includes all exercises from both courses.

As with those two courses, this one focuses on practical concerns faced by the corporate IT developer. The primary case-study application connects popular mobile features such as maps and multimedia with a RESTful web service and a JPA persistence tier that connects to a fully-worked enterprise database (15 tables, 998 rows). The mobile side of the application includes 47 Java classes and 8 distinct activities. Supporting applications provide overlapping exercise in key techniques such as using asynchronous tasks, communicating with external applications, and error-handling.

Android Training Prerequisites:

  • Java programming experience is required; "Java Programming," is excellent preparation.
  • Exposure to related technology including web applications, user-interface design, SQL, XML, and web services, all are beneficial but none are required.
Android Training Objectives:

  • Describe the Android OS architecture.
  • Install and use appropriate tools for Android development, including IDE, device emulator, and profiling tools.
  • Understand the Android application architecture, including the roles of the task stack, activities, and services.
  • Build user interfaces with views and basic form widgets.
  • Present menus via the Android action bar and handle menu selections.
  • Store application data on the mobile device, in internal or external storage locations.
  • Make remote connections using HTTP, XML, and JSON, and take advantage of mapping and other web services.
  • Implement background work as asynchronous tasks.
  • Implement Android services for asynchronous notification, and integrate these services with applications.
  • Manage audio, photo, and video content, and integrate built-in media applications in your own Android applications.
  • Integrate map views into your application, and provide custom overlays of map markers and other information.
Android Training Course duration:
