Curriculum

Introduction

This introductory section provides a comprehensive overview of the course, setting the stage for the exciting journey ahead. The 'Course overview' lecture (3:40) lays out the curriculum, learning objectives, and what you can expect to achieve by the end of the course.

Building Currency Converter App

This section is a deep dive into the practical application of learned concepts. Starting with setting up Android Studio and creating a project (11:00 + 4:53), you'll immediately start coding (16:23). You will master MVVM architecture, implementing ViewModel and Repository patterns (8:03). Unit testing (4:57) and dependency injection with Hilt (4:47) ensure best practices are followed. UI is built using bottom navigation (4:50) and then navigation to a chart screen (9:08). The application's core functionality involves adding currencies (21:53), implementing a multi-modular app structure (7:18 + 2:03 + 6:40), and navigation (5:42). Retrofit integration (9:59 + 9:13) fetches real exchange rates (10:09 + 8:46). Data is stored using shared preferences (4:31). The UI is enhanced with a bottom sheet for input (38:47), data storage (4:14), currency flags (19:15), custom toolbar, and overall polishing (12:48). Finally, calculator and currency search/filter features (16:13 + 8:54) are implemented.

Currency Converter: Charts

This section focuses on integrating a charting module to visualize exchange rate data. You begin with preparation (2:49), set up a Room database (8:59), fetch and cache data (13:19), and then draw the charts in two parts (8:23 + 4:42). You'll add period selection (17:14) using a modal bottom sheet for currency selection (27:10), handle touch events (14:34), and add loading animation (6:33), resulting in a comprehensive, interactive user experience.
