University Android - Herhaling: 8 juni 2010

N.B. Dit is een herhaling van de university sessie op 11 mei die wegens grote belangstelling al vol zit. 

The Android platform increasingly gains more popularity which can be partly explained by platform openness and flexibility and of course the support of Java as the programming language. Another contributing factor is the ease of development and low learning curve for Java developers. Android is provided not only with SDK, but also a simulator to test applications under various conditions and a development environment that so many developers are already used to.

This University Session gives you an insight into the Android development environment and allows you to gain first hands-on experience in developing applications for Android. During this session you will be presented an opportunity to learn various aspects of Android platform such as basic application lifecycle, persistence and user interface.

Under guidance, you will build a small application, run it on Android simulator and, if you take your Android phone with you, install it on your phone. After attending this workshop you’ll be able to code your own Android applications.

Agenda:

• Short introduction to Android platform
• Practical exercises:
• Preparing the development environment
• Building the user interface, learning about layouts, menu’s
• Make application behave nicely: adding application lifecycle
• Storing the work done: adding persistence to the application

Tijdschema:

• 18.00 – 19.00 Eten
• 19.00 – 20.00 Inleiding en workshop Android

Aanvullende info voor deelnemers: neem aub jouw eigen laptop mee

De spreektaal tijdens de sessie is Nederlands, maar de opdrachten zijn in het Engels beschreven.

De deelnemers krijgen eerst een inleiding en zullen de ontwikkel omgeving klaar gaan maken. Daarna zal de workshop Android bestaan uit 3 modules: 

• Building the user interface, learning about layouts, menu’s
• Make the application behave nicely: adding application lifecycle
  
• Storing the work done: adding persistence to the applicationtest
