Coding Android Apps
About this book
As Android apps continue to grow in popularity and an associated job market emerges, the ability to develop software and applications for Android smartphones will only grow more relevant in the foreseeable future. Compiled from materials used in over a decade of teaching undergraduate and graduate students majoring in computer science and information technology, this book is a hands-on, step-by-step guide to coding Android apps that have been rigorously tested.
KEY FEATURES
- Each chapter begins with a list of student learning outcomes that can be used for assessment purposes and syllabus construction
- The mechanics of Android app creation is presented in a very detailed, step-by-step progression, with accompanying screenshots and code explanations
- New topics are introduced chapter-by-chapter in a very logical and gradational instructional manner
- Very detailed exercises are provided at the end of each chapter and can be used for class activities and as homework assignments. Each chapter includes multiple exercises of varying difficulty
- Video lessons are available as supplementary resources for each chapter to quickly illustrate in a demonstrative and visual manner the Java and XML code and Android Studio development actions covered in the chapter
This book is particularly appealing for students of mobile apps development courses offered in computer science and information technology departments, as well as information systems disciplines within business schools, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
