Android App Building 102 - Purr, Audiobook Log, and Skeleton

Many people have brilliant app ideas. The difficulty is they don't have the essential skills or education to turn ideas into reality. Building an app, regardless of its complexities or platform, needs technical knowledge such as coding, UX/UI design and other domains. However, App Inventor 2 cuts through the clutter and allows anyone with no coding experience to develop Android apps from the ground up. It comes with two graphical user interface (GUI) tools that simplify developing Android apps. The 'blocks' designer is a clever and unusual feature that helps you construct code by dragging object blocks together rather than programming with Java. These graphical UI significantly accelerate development while offering an ideal platform for teaching people to program. The software is oriented for new programmers to help them create Android apps by converting complex coding languages into visual drag-and-drop blocks. This innovative system eliminates the need for users to learn code before building mobile apps. Familiarise yourself with the functions of App Inventor's key elements, such as the user interface, layout and media. Each component can have its own set of methods, events and properties.

Without the necessity for technical computing, this course will teach you all you need to know regarding developing apps. Do you have a computer with a solid internet connection? Perhaps you have a basic understanding of Android applications? And have you already created a concept for an app that doesn't yet exist? While the course aims for those without prior coding experience, it also serves professional application developers who want to study a fresh outlook. Get started with a complete buildup of two uncomplicated applications, HelloPurr and the Audiobook Log. First, you will discover how to use the ‘button’ and ‘label’ components. Then, we demonstrate the arrangement, checkbox and sound components' functionalities in detail with focused video lessons. Next, you will explore how to integrate long audio tracks and use spacing tools for visual balance. Finally, you will have the skills necessary to create your book logger by programming the player component and incorporating checkboxes to track the reading progress.

By the end of this course, you will have built the third Android application, Skeleton Review. You will learn how to identify between Project Inventor 2 file types while working on the app. You'll also learn how to recover, upload, export and share project files with coworkers. Gain practical experience with the ‘canvas’, ‘labels’ and ‘ball’ elements by designing the Skeleton project from beginning to end. Once you know how to set up the Google developer interface, you'll acquire a step-by-step guide for App publishing. You'll also view a simple example of uploading APK files to the Google Play Store, where apps get viewed by 1 billion active Android users from over 190 countries. There are around 3.48 million apps available, with approximately 3739 new apps published daily. This course aims to provide a solid basis for integrating and programming crucial components to publish apps on the Android market. Nowadays, anyone can create an app. It is time to put your brilliant ideas to work and develop a unique Android app. Enrol right away!
