Synopsis Mobile Application Development introduces mobile application development for the
android platform. Android is a software stack for mobile devices that includes an
operating system, middleware and key applications. The android SDK provides the
tools and APIs necessary to begin developing applications on the Android platform
using the Java programming language. Students will learn skills for creating and
deploying android applications, with particular emphasis on software engineering
topics including software architecture, software process, usability, and deployment.
Topics will include Android Development Environment, user interfaces, audio, and
persistence. SQLite databases, location, sensors and graphics.
