A Quick YouTube video introducing Android Studio and how to use it to develop Android Apps.

Here we explore the general context of the android User Experience, it's role in the mobile platform space and the components that make up the the system. We are particularly interested in the version numbers and how version in general is managed.

Here we take a closer look at the Android eco-system and the components that make up this system. We are particularly interested in both the android activity and fragment life-cycles and the android components that we utilise to build an android app.

The first application exhibits a range of new concepts you will not have come across before. Here we tour this app in detail, exploring each of the artifacts we have composed, and attempt to get a sense of how they fit together to form a running app.

Here we discuss how to install and set up effective tools for Android application development. These include the Android Studio IDE + an emulator. We'll also create a simple Android App (HelloWorld), and be able to manage it within the Android Studio environment.

In this Lab, you will be required to build the first version of our Donation Case Study App, called Donation.1.0. Here, we will add in a few UI widgets on a single layout and implement some basic event handling.
