Hello everyone !
If you’re here, that means you’re someone who is interested in Android Development. Either you are aware of it or you are a complete newbie in this field. If you belong to the latter category then don’t worry you’re at the right place.
Through these series of blogs, I’ll be writing and sharing my journey of getting started with Android Development. We’ll start from very scratch i.e Setting up the work space to doing and building really cool stuff.
Why should you learn Android Development ?
This is the first question that you should ask yourself before beginning with this. Are you the person who likes experimenting and building something ? If yes you should go ahead with it. Android Technology dominates the whole tech world these days. With most of the people using smartphones the demand for mobile applications has immensely increased. So it has a great advantage if you see it from the job perspective. But the most important thing is that you can literally make anything you want.
Think of an idea and start coding. It’s as simple as that.
What are the prerequisites ?
The only prerequisites of Android Development is JAVA. It’s completely okay if you don’t know JAVA. Even I started learning android before I learnt java, so you can learn it on the way and simultaneously.
Just make sure you’re aware of basic programming concepts like – Variables, Tokens, Loops, conditionals (if and else) and Basic OOPS concept of Classes.
Also you should be a bit aware about the styles and the properties of an element in a XML file. If you have tried your hands on HTML and CSS before, you’re good to go.

Done with the above things, yayyy !! Now we can finally dive into the journey of Android Development. I really hope you have a lot of fun learning it.
In the next blog we will be discussing about how to setup the Android Studio (your workspace) and begin programming.
