Learning Android Development on Udacity

I started working on learning Android Development from Udacity.
It is a free course and is being tought by people working at Google.

If anyone is interested you can go to this link :

Android Basics

The first few lessons explain about Views in Android

A View is an individual element that is used to represent a type of content on the screen, multiple views are combined to form the layout of the app

There are different kinds of views :
TextView : Represents text
ImageView : Represents images
Button : Represents buttons

There also exercises that help us understand how different views are used to build a layout

XML tags are used to build these views
Example : To show some text on a screen we use the TextView tag
We can add attributes to the tag to further add more details , such as textColor and background

I feel this would be a really good course for someone intrested in getting started with Android Development

Hi , I just saw the screenshot and realised you would be undertaking a course that is from way back , almost 4 years ago. I think there is a newer android course which they teach using the Kotlin programming language and the new way to design android apps.
