Description

Learn how to make your apps interactive using buttons and text! In this course you'll learn the basics of the Java programming language and how to apply them to Android.

Requirements

  • If you have learned the basics of Android layouts and XML, then this is the course for you! We will use Android Studio to build our apps, so you should have access to a computer that can run Android Studio in order to follow along (see Android Studio's System Requirements for details). Don’t worry, you do not need to install Android Studio in advance -- we will provide detailed installation instructions as part of the course. Access to an Android device is helpful, but not at all required. Now, in case you have some programming experience, parts of this course may be too slow for you — you should feel free to skip those sections. Finally, the most important prerequisite is a willingness to learn new things, and belief that you can do this! See the Technology Requirements for using Udacity.
