First Steps to App Programming for Android (engl.)

Have you always wanted to understand what happens on your phone when you’re listening to music and someone calls?
Have you had a brilliant idea for an app but didn’t know where to start?

In this course, you’ll gain an initial insight into native Android programming:
How is an Android app structured?
What is the Android lifecycle?
How do I design a user interface using XML?
What are activities, fragments and views, and how do they work together to create an app?

By the end, you will have programmed your own little app.

We will be using the Kotlin programming language and the Android Studio development environment.

Level 1: for beginners
Requirements: You don’t need any experience with Android, but you should have some basic programming skills (in any programming language). Bring your own laptop.
Credit Points (ECTS): —
