This MOOC teaches you how to program core features and classes from the Java programming language that are used in Android, which is the dominant platform for developing and deploying mobile device apps.

In particular, this MOOC covers key Java programming language features that control the flow of execution through an app, enable access to structured data, group related operations and data into classes and interfaces, customize the behavior of existing classes via inheritance and polymorphism. Learners will apply these Java features in the context of core Android components needed to develop Java programs and useful Android apps.
