Create reliable, robust, and efficient Android apps with industry-standard design patternsAbout This VideoCreate efficient object interaction patterns for faster and more efficient Android developmentGet into efficient and fast app development and start making money from your Android appsImplement industry-standard design patterns and best practices to reduce your app development time drasticallyIn DetailAre you an Android developer with some experience under your belt? Are you wondering how the experts create efficient and good-looking apps? With this video, your wait is over! We will teach you about different Android development patterns that will enable you to write clean code and make your app stand out from the crowd.Patterns provide a logical and elegant approach to solving many of the development problems that coders face. These patterns act as a guide, creating a clear path from problem to solution, and although applying a design pattern does not guarantee best practice in itself, it will hugely assist the process and make the discovery of design flaws far easier.The course starts by introducing the Android development environment and exploring its support libraries. You will gradually explore the different design and layout patterns and get to know best practices for how to use them together. Then you'll develop an application that will help you grasp activities, services, and broadcasts and their roles in Android development.
