What happened to the basics of Android development, like how to create a UI and interact with it? Receiving input and so on? I am glad I had those basics down beforehand, but someone new to android would have trouble following along

There were no required programming assignments, therefore the optional assignments were not properly updated, i.e. their testing units failed to compile. I saw little evidence that the instructor responds to any student questions.

Overall it is OK, but the example framework is more like created for teach purpose which is not practical in industry. Moreover, it seems there are many incorrect part in the assignment especially optional code assignments.

The content is fantastic but I would've liked more graded assignments with intents and broadcast receivers. Furthermore, the optional assignments have several build issues unlike MOOC1

Codes provided were buggy. Could not run in Android Studio. There was no good work-around this issue in forums either. Other than that, a good course. Made a lot of topics clearer.

I like this course and am planning to stick with it till the end but i rather find the app review sessions boring I prefer when instructors writes the code not reading it.

Great conceptual overview of the topics, although a bit too immersive. The module would benefit from simpler exercises to consolidate a student's understanding

I good a overview of the topics but I don't understand them well enough to implement them. For me the course is too fast.

I would like to get more detailed information about intent, broadcast recievers and activities. I need more code tasks.

The presentations are good, but I need more instructions to actually know what to do in the programming assignments.

The second part of the course was developing overly complicated apps, for downloading imageges.

Disappointed

:(

Understanding this course was really difficult.Should have used easier techniques to teach students.

i could understand some parts of the sample code and the explanation wasn't good enough

I think it should cover more basic examples before increasing difficulty

good for learning concept. but the practice projects are just way off.

the codes provided for practice are a sudden jump in complexity

Too much boring theoretical stuff.

Not enough coding opportunities.

Please try to include more code

Not good explanation of codes

good but not satisfactory

excellent cours

It is good

I had very high expectations after taking the preceding course in the "Android App Development Specialization" - however, I'm afraid that I had a somewhat poor experience with this one. Giving the course two stars was a difficult decision. There's definitely a lot of useful information here, and I think the course left me with a solid conceptual understanding of how Android intents, activities, and broadcasts receivers work. The main problem I had is that the course felt somewhat disjointed: There's a brief module on git, which seems a little out of place with regard to the rest of the material - especially since there's no real application for it in the rest of the course (except perhaps cloning demo repositories). I don't feel like the lectures provided adequate preparation for the programming assignments (granted, the assignments were optional). Most of the time I spent working on them wasn't spent designing, implementing, or reading documentation - it was spent trying to figure out which pieces of documentation I should be looking for to get started. This was an issue I struggled with particularly in the first assignment, which as far as I could tell involved method calls that weren't addressed until the following week.

This course is not much good for beginners who are trying to learn making android apps from scratch.

1. the discussions are almost dead.

2. Course focuses more on theory, rather than practice or practical.

3. This is not a tutorial at all. Sections (a few lines) of code are explained, rather than what each line does, or why are certain methods used, what the parameters given mean and do or what other arguments/ parameters these method use? and stuff like that, basically a lot of stuff is not explained, many questions are left unanswered.
