Course Description
This course provides an introduction to the mobile programming of Android. Android is the system running a new
generation of smart phones and is based on the Linux operating system. It is programmed by creating Java applications
which run under the control of the operating system. In particular, the Android SDK and Android Studio will be used as
development environment. Students will learn the concepts of Android and how to create applications that display a user
interface, store and manage data on the device, and using location-based services on Android.

Course Rationale
This course focuses on the fundamentals of programming for the Android platform. Participants will be introduced to the
programming environment for Android application development and will have a hands-on approach to Java programming
using the tools provided in the Android Software Development Kit (SDK). Students will practice to understand the process of
building mobile business applications.
