This is a really great and educative course. It is really amazing. It thought me the fundamental concepts of android apps, both theoretical concepts, and practical concepts. I learned a lot from it.

Overall there is a very good explanation of the basic principles of Android development. I downed the rating to 3 stars because at the end of "Introduction to Android Development" course there are a few mistakes in grading the assessments, but those errors can easily be fixed. Also, the solution offered for the project phase is not functional, at least for mp4 video files. I think more clarification on this issue must be made in the course, especially for those who study programming for the first time.

Generally the course materials are okay for an overview of concepts, but don't expect to have more than a passing understanding of these very general concepts. Also, if trying to reproduce working code as you progress though the materials, beware of code errors due to differences between the build version of Android Studio used here, and the (probably much newer) version you have. The discussions forum can often save you hours of frustration.

It isn't too bad as it teaches you the principles however it gets too complicated to the point where it gets difficult to follow.

In the very last training video, she says "don't worry if you don't understand the codes, this is just an overview" I would appreciate knowing this earlier instead of worrying about not fully following the lessons.

Not a bad course with high production value. Several things are not made super clear though and it sometimes makes it hard to follow along.

There are absolutely zero answers from moderators/teaching staff on the forums, so that's very much the blind leading the blind. All in all a decent free course but I wouldn't pay any money for it.

The coding for the video player should be explained more. Why using those functions and where do we get them. I other words, how does person who doesn't know adnroid knows that a video needs to be anchord to another view. Where do we find the recipe for the video player.

The code they showed in the video was done on some earlier version of android studio. some things did not work like the path to the video file. I had to figure out by myself how to correct it, but I guess that's not a bad thing. Thanks.

Some code in video could be addressed to help further assit beginners who have no knowledge in fixing compilation errors regarding immprts and ID's ahred between layout files and classes.

The courses running you through how to set up Android Studio need to be maintained to keep up with current versions- a good course but the practical aspects are hard to follow along.

It is a good course, but it needs to be UPDATED!!! What they do on the video sometimes doesn'r match what YOU do. I completed this course but my video app simply doesn't work.

Outdated materials that can't be used in the current Android Studio without googling how to handle errors

Would have been great to learn a little more about gradle, and a little bit more about XML.

The final project is filled with bugs. It seems like it's all just rushed together. The wrong activity is used from the beginning of the project to all of the stuff needed done in the project is either wrong, or parts are left out. This needs to be fixed. Not only that, why even bother putting an Android Studio course at the very beginning before going over basic Kotlin? The basic Kotlin course or the Version Control course, should be first. All you're doing is confusing people who have never seen code before or had any understanding of general terms like functions or variables. Explaining them both together in a 4 minute video isn't enough to make new developers understand that sort of stuff. Especially when you haven't even really brought up the idea to them of googling any of this to look further.

The "Introduction to Android Mobile Application Development" course on Coursera is outdated and problematic for novices. The course relies heavily on XML and Android Views, which are no longer the industry standard, as Jetpack Compose has taken over. Beginners waste valuable time converting these old examples to Jetpack Compose, rather than focusing on the core concepts of Android development. This makes the course inefficient and less effective for those aiming to learn the most relevant and up-to-date practices.

The theory part was ok, but the coding was inconsistent and was not explained well enough.

The presenter did not write a line of code in the videos, she just pasted it. And in the next videos and files, the code she started with was different every time.

I did not enjoy it.
