This course examines the design, development, debugging, and deployment of mobile applications. Topics include mobile UI framework, networking, location management, sensors, graphics, etc.

The course aims to ensure that students have not only acquired the knowledge and technique required for mobile application development but also gained the skills on using various development tools and practice.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to design, develop, debug and deploy their own mobile applications using Android development environment

Keywords

software development, mobile applications, Android, mobile UI framework, networking, location information, sensors, graphics

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

The first half of each class will be devoted to lecture (explanation of concepts, APIs, and/or methods).
The rest will be used for a programming exercise related to the lecture.
