So, you want to learn to build your own Android apps? You’ve come to the right place.

In this course, you’ll take a hands-on, project-based approach to developing Android applications. You’ll work with the most common tools that Android developers use every day including Java, Groovy, and XML. As you learn, you’ll build a fully functional Travel Blog Application that will be a great addition to your portfolio.

By the end of this course, you’ll have built a fully functional Android application and be ready to build even more complex projects.

Modern Android App Development with Java

### Android Studio IDE

Google provides great tooling to build Android applications, and the main one is [Android Studio IDE](https://developer.android.com/studio). It’s based on IntelliJ IDEA and provides tons of features, like:

- [Visual layout editor](https://developer.android.com/studio/write/layout-editor)
- [Fast emulator](https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator)
- [Intelligent code editor](https://developer.android.com/studio/intro)
- [Realtime profilers](https://developer.android.com/studio/profile/android-profiler)
- [Flexible build system](https://developer.android.com/studio/build/build-variants)

With Android Studio, we can test applications either on [emulator or directly on the device](https://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/running-app).

Through this course, we will use educative.io Android widget which provides a pre-configured environment to build and launch Android applications in your browser, so you don’t need to do any setup.
