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 across multiple platforms. Whether you need to build an iPhone app that will also run on Android or respond to a request to have an Android app function on Windows Phone, these frameworks provide the necessary tools. This three-day course on PhoneGap/Apache Cordova will explore two complementary technologies for cross-platform mobile development. (Apache Cordova is the new name for PhoneGap, which was acquired by Adobe and donated 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, and create "native-like" user experiences from a web application. This training is designed to enhance technical skills for government professionals involved in mobile application development, ensuring they can meet diverse platform requirements efficiently and effectively.

This course has been developed for individuals interested in developing Android applications. Throughout the course, participants will acquire essential skills for building Android applications from the ground up, utilizing advanced features of the Android platform such as background processing, database access, and location-based services. These skills are particularly relevant for government agencies looking to enhance their mobile application capabilities for government operations.

Objectives:

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

• Create their own Android application and deploy it to the Google Play Store for government use.
• Develop applications for both simulators and actual devices.
• Master the foundational aspects of Android development.

Android – an operating system with a Linux kernel for mobile devices such as cell phones, smartphones, tablets (PC tablets), and netbooks. In 2013, it was the most popular mobile system in the world. The mentioned kernel and some other components adapted for Android are published under the GNU GPL license. However, Android does not contain code derived from the GNU project. This feature distinguishes Android from many existing Linux distributions today. Initially developed by the company Android Inc. (later acquired by Google), it later came under the umbrella of the Open Handset Alliance.
