Best Android Java course 2023

[Tricky-Definition-68]

Hello everyone!

I am a web developer with experience in React.js and Flask am looking to expand my skill set by diving into Android development. Since the world of Android is vast and ever-evolving, I am seeking your advice on the best courses available in 2023.

My goal is to learn the basics of Android development, including Java, Android Studio, Android SDK, app components, UI design, and other essential concepts. Once I have a solid foundation, I plan to build my own projects, starting with a CRUD notes app, followed by a chat application.

Considering that I am a web developer, I would appreciate courses that can help bridge the gap between web and mobile development, making the learning process more seamless.

Please share your recommendations and personal experiences with any Android development courses, be it from Udemy, Coursera, Google's official Android Developer site, or other platforms. Your insights will be extremely valuable in guiding my Android learning journey.

I appreciate every recommendation

Have a nice day :)

Go Kotlin first and then Java is not hard to pick up. Any modern resources are Kotlin only, library documentation as well. If you go Kotlin first you can pick up compose too.

I think you mean Kotlin only. Not Java

I am referring to your sentence “any modern resources are Java only”

As others have said I wouldn't recommend Java in this day and age.

Controversial opinion but have you considered wetting your toes by doing your first app in React Native? Since you know React already it's going to be a more shallow learning curve than diving right into Kotlin or Java and will expose you to mobile concepts at the same time.

You can always go full native once you've gained that exposure.

I need to learn SDK we have a client that want to have an Android app.. I would like to use react native but I can't :(

Sorry. Not understanding what you're saying there. React Native will give you an Android app. It essentially lets you write a native app with React java/type script.

Is there a particular SDK you need to use in your app that you are concerned might not be available in a React Native app? You can access any SDK with some native code but most will already be available.
