Android Studio Koala Essentials-Kotlin Edition

This book is a comprehensive guide and reference resource for developing Android apps using Android Studio Koala Feature Drop (2024.1.2) and the Kotlin programming language. It is intended to appeal to both beginner and experienced programmers. The book includes chapters covering Kotlin programming to help readers with limited programming experience.

The book takes a modular approach to teaching Android app development. It covers essential topics such as how to install and use Android Studio and the AVD emulators, followed by an introduction to programming in Kotlin, including data types, control flow, functions, lambdas, and object-oriented programming. Asynchronous programming using Kotlin coroutines and flow is also covered in detail. Chapters also cover the Android Architecture Components, including view models, lifecycle management, Room database access, content providers, the Database Inspector, live data, and data binding.

The concepts of material design are also covered in detail, including the use of floating action buttons, Snackbars, tabbed interfaces, card views, navigation drawers, and collapsing toolbars.

Other key features of Android Studio and Android are also covered in detail, including the Layout Editor, the ConstraintLayout and ConstraintSet classes, MotionLayout Editor, view binding, constraint chains, barriers, and direct reply notifications.
