Android App developer – Advanced

The course curriculum and hands-on exercises are focused to get software skill building. Hardware detail is not covered.

Your application might need information shared by other applications such as address book, Media gallery, SMS etc. Your application might need access to resources such as WiFi and/or Bluetooth connection, access to GPS to know the location. User device has sensitive content and scarce resources and need to be secured by the Android platform. Hence, Android platform provides security mechanism to protect resources and content. Android applications need to abide to Android security rules.

Your application might run on several mobile devices with different screen sizes. Hence, application UI must be designed to adapt to screen sizes and orientations.

Google play is a market place for all the Android applications intended to run on Android devices. Your application may not support all the hardware and software versions. Hence, it is important for developer to understand the complete process of application deployment process to Google play store.

Non-functional requirements capture performance, usability and user experience aspects of software development. Poorly performing, buggy or high battery power consuming app might lead to bad user satisfaction. You must take care of such aspects while designing the mobile software.

Basic application development projects as listed below (not exhaustive list but few)
