So, first you should check that if you have a interest for android or not. If you have then cheers! you are welcome to this world but if you don't then you will end up with nothing.

Earn without a Job

We do have a clear idea what is the condition of engineers in India. There are nearly 4000 colleges in India that produces 10 lakh engineers per year but for every job 300 members are competing. The ratio increase every year due to previous year unemployed. Thus, India is having a large number of unemployed engineers. Many will not agree with this but we cannot deny the fact. There are also people who don't want to have a 9am to 10pm job and want to live there life with their own creative skill then Android provides you a platform through with you can earn a good amount of money and this is possible through Adsense/Admobs advertisement. This is a platform through which you can turn your passion into profit but this is only possible if you have a master idea for an app.

Best way to Learn Android App Development (Guide)

1. Grab the Core Concepts of JAVA

The most important step before starting up with learning android is to grab a good knowledge on JAVA. Why JAVA not Kotlin? We know that Google has announced Kotlin as the official language for developing android apps but still We will suggest you to go for JAVA because JAVA is not going anywhere now and is widely used in software industries. Learning JAVA has its own advantage i.e you can switch to any other technology at any time but with Kotlin it is not possible. There can also be a question in you mind that how much java is necessary to learn Android? Genuinely speaking it is not necessary to have a knowledge on Java EE i.e Java Enterprise Edition aka Advance Java. So, only you have to get a good grab on the Java SE i.e Java Standard Edition aka Core Java.

2. Analyze Different Apps While Learning JAVA


While you are busy in learning Java, take out some of your valuable time to analyze different apps. It is necessary to observe different apps to get a rough idea like how the app looks, what are the features included, how the app behaves and much more. By doing this you can have a rough idea about various apps available and this will help you while learning android development.

3. Learning Android After JAVA

There are 3 sources from where you can learn Android development. Basically these 3 sources are coaching centers, books and online tutorials. So which one is the best out of these 3? There is no such particular answer which one will be the best. It is your choice in which you are comfortable with. But in my opinion learning android from online tutorials have a great impact than the coaching center. Coaching center will only teach you the basics that they know but Android is something that you need to explore a lot for that you have to see lots of live example of different apps like building whatsapp, instagram , OLA etc which is not possible for a coaching center providing 1-2 month course. So, it will be a good option to buy some great online courses from Udemy or Coursera.
