Below is the roadmap for Android Developement

😅 Please forgive me… I am not good at designing.

Roadmap

Ability to read documentation is a crucial skill. Documentation

Let me share some resources to get you started.

Pick any language (Kotlin / Java)
I recommend Kotlin, if you want to start Android quickly.
Otherwise take Java, learn basic concepts like OOP, Threading, etc…
Kotlin:- Resources to learn
Java:- Videos to learn

Please take atleast 3 months to learn new language. It looks like long, but worth it.

Android Studio
Download
Make sure your pc meets the requirements
Get familiarised with the IDE and the project structure

Core fundamentals
Activities, Services, Broadcast receivers and Content providers — These are the core of Android.
Refer here

Android UI
Views, Viewgroups and Custom views
You will design the UI in xml

Resources
You will separate logic and UI using resources

Fragment
You can imagine fragments as mini activities

More will be updated in upcoming posts..
😁 Be sure to follow me…
