[2023 Free Kotlin Lecture] Android Programming A-Z, from Basics to Profit Generation

Q. How can I monetize it✨?

In our app, we will learn how to monetize by directly pasting advertisements . There are several ways to monetize an app. You can charge for the app itself, induce payments within the app, or make money by pasting advertisements. For beginners, it may be better to make a small profit through traffic by pasting advertisements rather than an app that requires users to pay. Try monetization, which seemed far away, by directly pasting advertisements in Mise Mise Clone Coding.

You will learn micro-clone coding by upgrading it sequentially from version 1, version 2, and version 3 .

• In version 1, we will implement core functions of retrieving current location information and fine dust concentration.
• In version 2, we will update the function to check my location on the map by linking the Google Map library and implement the fine dust concentration in the desired location.
• In version 3, we will use AdMob to show banner and full-screen ads so that you can monetize your site.

And finally, we will practice packaging the app and uploading it directly to the Google Play Store . There are quite a few things to keep in mind when uploading it for the first time, but don't worry, I will explain each step in detail through video.

Q. I have never programmed before and I don't know Kotlin. Will that be okay?

I have been giving free lectures for several years and writing best-selling Android books, and I have been thinking about how to teach Android to you in an easy and fun way. And this lecture is the essence of my thinking. If you do not know the Kotlin language, please take the first lecture (basic grammar) and the second lecture (advanced grammar) below first. (It is free :D) You can skip the third lecture because it is related to Android development. After quickly learning Kotlin, move on to this lecture and build a solid foundation of Android.

Q. Will I be able to get a job as an Android developer if I take this course?

No, no development course will guarantee you a job. However, I will teach you how to live as a developer for life, not just a job. Think about how you want to make this app, and that app, and how fun app development is. If you become a happy developer who only programs for your whole life, you will definitely get a job. (Of course, it is natural to prepare hard according to your goal.) Because you can't beat someone who enjoys it.

This course is designed to help you learn the concepts you need in the introductory stage in the most fun way possible. After the last course, you will be able to see yourself happily imagining what kind of app you can create on your own.

Q. I've heard of Kotlin grammar, but the Android lecture is difficult!

Android programming can be said to be easy if you say it is easy, and it can be said to be infinitely difficult if you say it is difficult. If you want to make it well at the production level, you need to accumulate a lot of knowledge. However, if you feel that "Android development" itself is difficult, rather than a specific concept, then you are likely learning Android in the wrong way.

If you learn the concepts step by step, there is no concept that you cannot learn. Of course, there will be a difference in the effort and time required to learn the relatively easy TextView and the complex MVVM design pattern. However, after listening to this lecture, you will be able to develop the habit of encountering any concept, and this will become the foundation for you to become an excellent Android developer.

Q. Does Android development have a future?

Yes, Android is loved more than any other OS, accounting for 71.55% of the global market as of 2022. Cross-platform development like Flutter is also gaining attention, but most companies that prioritize UX prefer Android native app development.

Thinking about whether Android has a future is like thinking about a problem that has no answer. Try to be in the top 10% in Android. Through this course, you will solidify the concepts and polish your skills to the point where you can no longer learn anything, such as MVVM design pattern, single activity pattern, and dependency injection methods such as Dagger2. If you don't lose interest and keep your skills sharp, your future will definitely shine brightly regardless of the future of Android.

Q. Do I need to have the book?

It is not a must, but if you use it as a reference, your learning efficiency will be much higher. The lecture basically selected the three apps that are considered the most important among the examples in the book. If you want a more detailed explanation or want to make other example apps, I recommend purchasing the book and using it as a reference along with the lecture. It is not required.
