In this tutorial, we will show you how to build an Android app from the ground up using Java. If you have a background in programming or software design, then you might already know how to do this.
Before we can start building an Android app, we need to get a basic understanding of how Android apps work. We will explain what APKs are and where they can be found before showing you how to create one with our Android Studio IDE.
This course assumes that you have no prior knowledge of the basics of programming for Android.
Building an Android app from scratch is a daunting task and can be difficult when you don't have any prior experience in programming. This course is here to help! It starts by teaching you the fundamentals of how to program for Android and continues with step-by-step lessons on how to create your application. You will also learn about the different aspects of building an app, including creating your first screen layout, adding user interface elements, setting up database queries, and more!
Note: This course does not teach you how to build a functioning app - it just teaches you the basics of what it takes to get started.
Introduction to the History of Android Apps and What makes an App Successful
A mobile application is a computer program designed to run on smartphones and tablet computers. Mobile apps are apps on a device; desktop applications are programs designed for computers that can be installed on the device. PC software can largely be replaced by mobile software; desktop software requires more computing power, while mobile software can rely on the less powerful processor within the device.
The history of Android apps is a tumultuous one and many factors play a role in whether an app is successful. These include Google Play Store, Android OS, usage patterns, and the quality of the app itself.
This section discusses what makes an app successful and some examples of how it can lead to success. It also talks about how usage patterns, Google Play Store, and Android OS have led to the evolution of the app industry.
Find out what a Minimum Viable Product is and how it can work for you!
An MVP is a product that can be released to a small audience and receive feedback. This feedback will help determine what changes should be made to the product so that it becomes functional.
An MVP is an experiment in which the creators of a new idea or product give it to potential users for evaluation. The evaluation process helps the creators in determining if they should continue with their project or scrap it entirely.
A Minimum Viable Product (MVP) should be able to provide one solution for one specific problem, while also being able to identify what changes need to happen for it to work well.

Why do Mobile App Developers need to Focus on Search Engine Optimization?
You can improve your website's ranking by working on SEO - search engine optimization which is the process of improving your website so that it ranks higher in search engines. It can also improve how well a web page performs in general. Mobile App Developers must work on search engine optimization because it is one of the most effective ways to increase the visibility of your app.
Search engine optimization is not just about creating high-quality content and creating an SEO-friendly website. It's also about creating content that is relevant to what people are searching for and linking to other relevant websites to help get traffic from search engines.
When you focus on search engine optimization, you'll need to make sure that you're optimizing your website for mobile devices as well as desktop computers by optimizing your website's title, meta description, URLs, images, videos, and social media handles so that they are all optimized for each platform.
How to Design for Touch Screen and Support Multi-Platforms with Native C or Swift Code?
Designers have the option to either use native code or Swift, which they can then call from their native or Objective-C.
Native code is typically used for hardware-intensive apps and games. It is also more appropriate for heavy 3D software such as CAD, 3D animation, gaming, and VR development.
Swift is a great option for designers because it’s easier to learn and less complex than other languages like C. Native code supports multiple platforms such as iOS, Android, macOS, Windows PC/mobile devices, etc., whereas Swift only supports iOS so designers must know how to target specific platforms with the right coding language.
Native code developers can also create frameworks that allow other developers to access them to create their apps without having any programming experience.

Why Start Building Your Mobile App on iOS if You're a Beginner or Not Focused
Mobile apps are the future of mobile content. From a user perspective, apps are easier to use and create. They have less friction than websites and they provide instant access to content.
Plus, the app market is booming with new apps entering the scene daily. Businesses need to be where people are using their products efficiently.
For all these reasons, businesses must start building their mobile app on iOS if they're a beginner or not focused on this platform yet.
App stores, like Apple App Store and Google Play Store, provide an easy way for businesses to distribute their app in the first place; they also allow users to download and install them for free or purchase them with ease via in-app purchases.
The most important thing to do when you are building a mobile app is to first decide on the platform where you want to make it available.
If you've just started working on your mobile app and don't know what platform should be used, then the best option would be iOS. Here are some reasons why:
a) It's a more cost-effective alternative than Android-- in terms of time, money, and resources.
b) The apps built for iOS have a higher chance of being featured in Apple's App Store than those built for Android.
c) You can get easy access to premium content (like games) that are not available on Android
