The used IDEs to create Android applications are Eclipse or Android Studio. Our Android (level 1) course includes step by step instructions, classroom exercises and discussions for understanding the Android environment and tools,creating Android applications from scratch,using views,view groups and different components, designing applications that support different Android versions, screen sizes and languages, Add multimedia to the Android application, adding animation to the application, and uploading the application on Google play. In order to ensure you will achieve these targeted objectives, you are required to prepare a Final Project. Who should attend? IT Students. Software Developers. Technical Managers. Team leaders who are looking to manage Android projects.
