Course Objectives The major point of emphasis of this course is the creation of efficient and effective mobile applications using the Android SDK. This course investigates the design issues created by the mobile environment, and how the theories and practices of desktop and mobile computing compliment and contrast each other in the creation of web content.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • create applications using the Android Studio
  • use XML files to manage content displayed in mobile application
  • effectively use layouts to manage application design
  • create multi-activity applications
  • use messages and toast to pass information to end user
  • use geolocation in an application
  • connect to remote databases and web services for data
  • discuss the main points to consider when promoting and distributing applications
Course Description This course investigates how mobile applications and content not only differ from their desktop brethern, but also how mobile computing is changing web design and programming in general. The major points of emphasis are mobile browsers and hardware, emergent coding practices and design considerations, the incorporation of geolocation in programming considerations, the creation of mobile widgets and applications, and the deployment of a site that delivers mobile content.
