Android App Components - Services, Local IPC, and Content Providers

Android App Development,

This 4 week MOOC builds upon the core Android app components and concurrency frameworks covered in Course 2 by focusing on started and bound services, local inter-process communication (IPC), and content providers. Case study apps will be examined from multiple perspectives to learn how to program these app components using Android's material design paradigm. Students will work incrementally on a hands-on project involving a material design-based RSS reader app. 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

content providers

i loved it very helpful I was able to understand more about content providers but I'd have loved if there were enforced practical assignments.

I was able to learn the basic theory and working of how services and content providers work in Android.

I do not think that content providers are well explained here.

programming assignments

More compulsory programming assignments needed Good Subject f Challenging material Another course with great content in the respective specialization.Local IPC got my head spinning for a while, but that's good because the harder the material you study and learn, the better you get at it.

I prefer classes with programming assignments that are machine unit tested on the server.

for beginners

too much academic and theoretical materials, the instructor is explaining in a very advanced way for beginners, of course i got benefit from it, but i think it should be more easy and understandable and thanks a lot for your effort, it is really appreciated best luck This course was really good for me.

Overall the course is good for beginners and can be a refresh for experienced programmers.
