    About Android 4 Application Development Course


Whether you’re an experienced desktop or web developer,mobile engineer or a complete programming novice, Android represents an exciting new features and opportunity to write innovative applications for an increasingly wide range of devices and mobile applications.

Android is an open-source software stack that includes the middleware,operating system and mobile applications, along with a set of API libraries for writing applications that can shape the feel,look, and function of the devices on which they run.

Stylish, small and versatile, modern mobile devices have become powerful tools that incorporate touchscreens,media players, cameras, Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers, and Near Field Communications (NFC) hardware.

As technology has evolved, mobile phones have become about much more than simply making outgoing and incoming calls. With the introduction of tablets Android has expanded beyond its roots as a tablet operating system, providing a consis- tent platform for application development across an increasingly wide range of hardware and software applications.

These APIs feature video recording , hardware access, location-based services, map-based activities,support for background services ,relational databases, inter-application communication, NFC, and 2D , 3D graphics and Bluetooth. This Course describes how to use these APIs to create your own Android applications.

In this chapter you’ll learn some guidelines for embedded and mobile hardware development.

Extremely well written Course Except for the fact that this Course lacks an overview of Android 1.5, which I suspect will be in the next addition. Whenever I read a technical Course on a new language or new platform, there is one specific things I look for: Does the Course contain a short, clear introduction that gives a little bit of history on the subject matter.

By Ian Stirk (London) ( December 19, 2017 )

Beginnings are very important. A bad start can interupt you in your tracks and divert your attention elsewhere, perhaps never to return. However, a good beginning catches your interest, and encourages you to go further and deeper.

If you are new to Android or want to learn more than the basics, this is the Course.that is Highly recommended.
