Learn Android app development from scratch with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose.
Build 35+ hands-on apps, games, and database projects while mastering
modern Android Studio workflows and Kotlin fundamentals. Key Features Build
Android apps with Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Android Studio, and Agentic
Programming Create hands-on projects including, UI, sound, graphics,
databases and game Master modern Android development workflows and Kotlin
fundamentals Book Description Modern Android development has evolved
rapidly, with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose becoming the standard tools for
building powerful mobile applications. Android Programming for Beginners
provides a practical introduction for readers with little or no coding
experience. Rather than overwhelming you with theory, the book teaches
concepts gradually through hands-on experimentation and small, focused apps
that reinforce core programming fundamentals. You will begin by learning
Kotlin essentials including variables, loops, functions, lambdas,
collections, and object-oriented programming before moving into Android
Studio and Jetpack Compose. As your skills grow, you will create
interactive projects ranging from UI layouts and games to multimedia and
database-driven applications. Along the way, you will explore Android
development techniques such as state management, navigation, Material
Design, Room databases, Canvas drawing, and responsive layouts. To help
future-proof your workflow, each chapter also includes optional AI-assisted
programming exercises that show how modern coding tools can support
experimentation, accelerate development, and deepen understanding. By the
end of the book, you will have built a portfolio of Android apps and gained
the confidence to continue toward advanced mobile development projects
independently. What you will learn Install and configure Android Studio for
Android development Build Android apps with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose
Understand variables, loops, functions, and Kotlin syntax Create
interactive apps with touch, sound, and graphics Work with collections,
lambdas, and scope functions Build multi-screen apps with navigation and
Room databases Develop a game while mastering Kotlin OOP concepts Learn how
to (optionally) use AI to speed up learning and development Who this book
is for This book is for beginners who want to learn Android app development
using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. It is ideal for readers with no
programming experience, developers moving from Java to Kotlin, and anyone
wanting a practical, project-based introduction to modern Android
development.
