What you'll learn

This course introduces students to the principles and practices of modern Android application development using Kotlin. It covers the Android architecture, user interface design using XML and Jetpack Compose, activity lifecycle management, data storage techniques, and integration of RESTful APIs. Students will also explore device features such as sensors, GPS, and permissions. The course emphasizes hands-on learning through real-world application development, debugging, and deployment, enabling students to build scalable, user-friendly, and industry-ready mobile applications. Learning Outcomes: CO1: Explain Android architecture and core components such as Activities, Services, and Intents. (Understand) CO2: Design and develop user-friendly interfaces using XML and Jetpack Compose. (Apply) CO3: Implement activity lifecycle, navigation, and data passing between components. (Apply) CO4: Develop applications with data storage techniques and API integration. (Analyze) CO5: Utilize device features (sensors, GPS, permissions) in real-world applications. (Apply) CO6: Debug, test, and deploy Android applications following modern development practices. (Evaluate/Create)
