This repository contains the code for starter apps for the Advanced Android course, published by the Google Developer Training Team.
A “starter app” is an app that you need to download and open in Android Studio at the start of a lesson. It contains code that you will modify as you work through a lesson.
Not all lessons in this course use starter apps.
Code for all the other apps in this course are in a different repository.
Each of the samples in this repository is associated with a practical exercise from the Advanced Android course.
The Advanced Android course is intended to be an instructor-led training and is targeted towards intermediate Android developers with a background in software development or computer science that have completed the Android Developer Fundamentals course.
The samples, along with the course, assume basic competence in software design and development, as well as some background in computer science. Completion of Android Developer Fundamentals is recommended and assumed.
Specifically, to get started you need:
- Familiarity with the general software development process for object-oriented applications using an IDE (Integrated Development Environment).
- At least 1-3 years of experience with object-oriented programming and the Java programming language.
- Familiarity with the topics and their practial applications taught in the Android Developer Fundamentals course.
In particular:
- RecyclerView and Adapters
- SQLite databases and the SQLite query language.
- Software architectural patterns that separate data from the user interface, such as MVP, MVC, or MVA.
- Threading and AsyncTask
- Install Android Studio, if you don't already have it.
