Android App Components - Intents, Activities, and Broadcast Receivers

Android App Development,

This 4 week MOOC builds upon the overview of Java and Android covered in Course 1 by delving deeper into core Android app components, such as intents, activities, and broadcast receivers. You will learn by example how to program these core Android components together with Android concurrency frameworks and basic Java file I/O classes (such as File and InputStream) and Android storage mechanisms (such as Shared Preferences). You'll also learn how to use the Git source code management system. Throughout this MOOC you'll work incrementally on a project involving downloading, storing, and display images from remote websites. Each week you will add additional capabilities to the project, based on material covered in the lecture videos. You'll spend roughly 4 hours per week watching video lectures, taking quizzes, and programming assignments with Java and Android.

What people are saying

app from scratch

I feel like making us make a small app from scratch and using that to explain each component would've made it easier to understand.

Would have preferred trying to create an app from scratch rather than filling in a skeleton file.

It was I nice course but it would have been better start building an app from scratch in the practice sections The course is a very good introductory course.

java for android

good content I missed having the required programming assignments from the Java for Android course.

I really liked the previous one (Java for Android) and of course I´m going to finish the rest of courses.

been better

It would have been better had they used a smaller/simpler project, that didn't offer so much as an app, but at least would have given students a better insight in how their code and the learned material work.

very useful

My opinion that this course is very useful for begginer android developers and middle android developers.

awesome course A lot of theory, no practice very good and provides very useful knowledge .

rather than

The course focuses on principles & theories rather than coding and practical experience, also I found the code walk-through are not very useful.

feel like

I feel like I learned more (even though I did the optional assignments).

Also feel like the videos barely teach some critical basics that come up in the programming assigment great course very helpful Mandotory programming assignments should be designed.

these exercises

Unless you have a background in computer programming and/or don't mind Googling for answers quite a bit you will struggle understanding what's going on in these exercises.

It's clear why these exercises are optional and I assume the majority op people don't actually do them.
