About this course
Android runs on most of the phones in the world, and building an app is one of the most rewarding ways to learn programming. Beginners often struggle with the big picture: how screens, state, data and the app lifecycle fit together, and why the app breaks when the phone rotates.
This course follows the modern Android developer path: Kotlin fundamentals, Android Studio, Jetpack Compose for the user interface, state and ViewModel, navigation, local storage with Room and DataStore, networking with Retrofit, background work, testing and publishing on Google Play. Each module lists its topics and what you will be able to do at the end.
There are no self-study lessons for Android development on MentorNxt yet (our free lessons cover Java and Python), so this course is taught through affordable 1:1 online mentoring. Message us on WhatsApp or email, or fill in the short form, for a free, no-obligation chat. We will suggest a plan that fits your budget and flexible timings in your time zone, and you can start this week.
