1. Best way to
learn android
app
development
Most of the beginner start android app development by learning Java. Java is essential
but not the prerequisite if you have enough programming maturity. By programming
maturity, I mean you know how to program in some language(probably C/C++/PHP) and
have some ability to think logically.
If you don’t have these prerequisites, you should start with learning Java. For logical
maturity, I would recommend you to play some logical games like Rubik cube, Sudoku

2. and some other strategy games. If you are academically inclined, then learning
First­order logic is a good alternative option.
Note: The Familiarity of an Algorithms and Data Structures will surely accelerate the
learning process.
FAQs on Android app
development
How much Java do I need to know for android app
development?
All you need is the basics of Java. Java is an object­oriented programming language.
So, the key to understanding Java is to understand object oriented programming. This
includes learning about class, object, abstract data types, inheritance, interface and
listeners.
Apart from object­oriented concepts, you need to learn about the representation of
arrays/collections, string and it’s properties like concatenation, replace, substring etc.
This is all you need to learn in java.
After Java what next?

3. Learn about the tools and framework that is used to make android apps. You need to
learn how to use the following tools
● Android Studio
● Android SDK
● Android versions and API level
● Gradle build system
What next after configuring tools?
Now you are ready to start making apps. Get familiarize yourself with android
terminology like Activity, Layouts, Drawables, Android Manifest, build.gradle, TextView,
ImageView, Button, EditText, Intents.
This much of knowledge is enough to start building some utility apps like calculator, unit
converter, quiz app etc.
Is that enough?
Yes and No. From now onwards, it totally depends on what you want to do. For making
utility apps, I guess this is enough, but if you want to expand your horizon of knowledge,
then I would recommend you to learn networking. By networking, I mean client­server
technology. I don’t want to emphasize on the potential of networking in the current
context, but I would say, it is the main backbone of our modern knowledge economy. If
you want to learn more about networking and client­server technology, You should learn

4. how a client communicates with the server.Technically this means you need to learn
GET, POST, Web Service, JSON/XML technology.
