About the course: programming mobile applications for Android handheld systems
The course addresses the design and implementation of Android apps for portable devices. It covers threads and networking, notifications, BroadcastReceiver and alarms, graphics, touch and gestures, multimedia, sensors, location and maps, data management, and building an app from scratch.
Who it suits / who it does not: Android app programming for handheld systems
- Suits: Android beginners; Java/Kotlin developers moving to mobile apps; engineers needing sensors, maps, and networking on portable systems.
- Does not suit: those seeking a basic intro without practical topics; those focused solely on iOS or exclusively on cross‑platform frameworks without Android SDK.
Problem → outcome in Android development for handheld systems
- Memory leaks and UI blocking → apply threading and async patterns for stable behavior.
- Missed user events → proper handling of notifications, BroadcastReceiver, and AlarmManager.
- Cluttered interaction → use gestures, touch, and graphics for clear UX.
- Inaccurate location → leverage sensors and location services with map integration.
- Scattered data → structured data handling and storage.
Comparison with alternatives in mobile app programming
- Self‑study via documentation: flexible, but hard to order topics (threads → networking → sensors → data).
- General courses without Android SDK: provide overview, yet lack practice with Android system components (BroadcastReceiver, alarms).
- Cross‑platform frameworks (React Native/Flutter): fast UI, but native sensors/services often need bridges/plugins; native Android provides direct control.
Intended learning outcomes (Android mobile applications, Part 2)
- Understanding threading, asynchrony, and network requests for handheld systems.
- Configuring notifications, BroadcastReceiver, and AlarmManager.
- Applying graphics, multimedia, touch, and gestures.
- Connecting sensors, retrieving location, and displaying maps.
- Organizing local data and interprocess communication when needed.
- Building an Android app from scratch integrating these components.
Module structure for Android handheld systems (Part 2)
- Threads and networking.
- Notifications, BroadcastReceiver, and alarms.
- Graphics, touch, and multimedia.
- Sensors, location, maps, and data management.
- Build an app from scratch.
Course Description
This course will introduce you to developing and implementing Android applications for mobile devices. You'll build on concepts from the previous course, including handling notifications, using media and graphics, and incorporating touch and gestures into your programs.
