Android Mobile App Development (Advanced Level) Training Course

Android is Google’s mobile operating system. This course provides hands-on training to demonstrate the fundamental concepts of Android, tailored to enhance skills and knowledge for government professionals.

The objective of cross-platform frameworks is to enable developers to write applications once and deploy them on multiple platforms. Whether you need to build an iPhone app that will also run on Android or have a requirement for an Android app to function on Windows Phone, these frameworks provide the necessary tools and support.

This three-day course on PhoneGap/Apache Cordova is designed to explore two different yet complementary technologies for cross-platform mobile development. (Apache Cordova was formerly known as PhoneGap. Adobe acquired PhoneGap from its original developers and donated it to the Apache Software Foundation.)

Upon completion of this PhoneGap/Apache Cordova course, participants will be equipped to build fully-functional mobile Web applications using the framework, manage source code effectively, handle platform-specific adjustments, create “native-like” user experiences from a web application, and much more. This training is tailored for government professionals who need robust solutions for government workflows and governance.

This course has been designed for individuals interested in developing Android applications for government use.

Throughout this course, you will acquire the essential skills needed to build Android applications from scratch, leveraging the latest features added to the Android platform, such as background processing, database access, and location-based services for government workflows.

Objectives:

Upon completion of this training course, the participant will be able to:

• Develop their own Android application and deploy it to the Android Market.
• Create applications for both simulators and real devices.
• Master the fundamental concepts of Android development, ensuring alignment with public sector workflows and governance requirements for government.

Android – operating system with kernel Linux for mobile devices such as mobile phones, smartphones, tablets (tablet PCs) and netbooks. In 2013, it was the most popular mobile system in the world. This kernel and some other components that have been adapted to Androida are published under the GNU GPL license. Android does not contain code from the GNU project. This feature distinguishes Androida from many other Linux distributions currently in existence. It was initially developed by Android Inc. (later bought by Google), then came under the wing of Open Handset Alliance.

This instructor-led, live training in US Empire (online or onsite) is aimed at developers who wish to understand, adapt, and extend Android for various hardware and platforms for government use.
