Notes:

Source:

This course is designed to provide a comprehensive knowledge related to the mobile programming based on android which encompasses integrated development environment, architecture, design, develop, and publish mobile application. The course covers essential topics, including app lifecycle, layouts, and handling user input, databases to store and retrieve data as well as use APIs to retrieve data from remote server with a focus on real-world, practical app-building skills.

The objectives of course typically aim to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to design, develop, and deploy applications for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets that solve real world problem with use of current mobile technology.

The laboratory should contain all the features mentioned in a course, which should include basic concept of Android application architecture, concept of android layouts, introduction to activity and fragment, menu, database, and API implementation.
