What is the course about

This course will teach you how to develop native Android mobile apps using Xamarin with C# programming. Xamarin.Android allows you to create native Android applications using the same UI controls that would be used in Java, except with the flexibility and elegance of a C#, the power of the .NET Base Class Library (BCL), and two first-class IDEs - Xamarin Studio and Visual Studio. Xamarin Android apps compile to native code, and they are indistinguishable to mobile apps developed with Java. This course is for experienced .NET developers who would like to use their exisiting skills to develop native mobile apps. for Android Xamarin enables you to share and reuse your existing .NET codebase.+

Duration

This course is offered as a stand alone course or as part of the Cross Platform Mobile App Development for Android and iOS using Xamarin with C# programming. The individual course is 5 days and the cross platform course is 10 days. The cross platform course also covers iOS development.

Programming Experience

Strong programming experience in .NET is a requirement in order to succeed in this course. A minimum of 2 years working experience is recommended or a strong background in computer science.

Technical Skill

You will need to be proficient in working with Visual Studio. A Windows or a Mac environment is used. The primary development environment is Windows or Mac. We recommend a Mac if you will also want to develop iOS applications.

Private Training

The course is primarily offered privately to a group, team or company. The training will be run on your premises or you can come to us. We have offices in Johannesburg and Cape Town and can also conduct the training in Durban at Regus Business Centre. We can train anywhere in South Africa and the rest of the African continent if we are coming to you. Private training is R9 500 per delegate if training is conducted on your premises and we require a minimum of 4 delegates to schedule the course. The same training is R12 599 when coming to us and a minimum of 4 delegates is required to schedule the course. There is no fixed date to run the course, we find dates would suit your team.

Activities and Intents

Activities are the fundamental architectural element of Android applications. A common way to describe an Android app is "a collection of collaborating Activities". This course shows you how to implement that collaboration. You will see how to start your own Activities and how to start standard Android Activities such as the camera or the web browser. You will learn how to pass arguments to an Activity when you start it and how to retrieve results when it finishes. By the end of the course, you will be able to code all the common patterns needed to make Activities work together.

List Views are one of the most common UI paradigms found in Android, they allow you to display a scrolling list of selectable items. This class will teach you how to populate and use theListView control including population, customization, selection, and more.

This course shows how to use the Android RecylerView and CardViewcontrols to display collections of data. After the course, you will be able to add one of these controls to your app and code the adapter, view holder, and item-layout files needed to show your data correctly.

Navigation Patterns

Android supports a variety of different navigation styles your apps can utilize based on the information and relationships you want to display. This class will cover the most common navigation patterns used in Android, including Stack, Drawer, and Tab-based navigation., Along the way, we'll examine some related topics including Fragments, and using the ActionBar.

This class discusses the Android Activitylife-cycle and how to run code independent from it using Android services. We will look at how to start and stop services and how to create hybrid services that are used within our application to keep part of the application alive when the Activity is terminated.

Publishing an Android App

This video covers the specifics of publishing an Android application to both the Google Play store and the Amazon store.

Maps in the palm of our hands have changed the way that we interact with the world. It's hard to imagine navigating without our smartphone these days. in this course we'll examine how to embed and use the Google Maps API in our Android applications, reposition the map, add map markers, and more.

Location Services

Knowing the user's location can help your application to provide more contextually-aware information of the interesting things around the device. This class will explore the location APIs available in Android and show you how to use them to add "location-awareness" into your apps.

Capacitive Multitouch interfaces on smartphones have become a staple. But using them effectively can be a challenge. This class examines how touch works in Android and covers View based touch events, built-in gestures, and creating custom gestures that will enhance the UX of your apps.

Gestures in Android

Building on the AND240 - Touch course, this class dives into how to manage more complex touch gestures in your Android applications. It covers the use and design of built-in and custom gestures, both continuous and discrete in Android. You will create a multi-gesture application which includes a custom built rotation gesture as well as get hands-on experience designing discrete gestures using the Gestures Builder application, which is available on all Android devices.

It's common to want to integrate in a third-party component into your Android applications. Sometimes there is a .NET component you can use, but sometimes it's an existing Java component. In these cases you will need a Binding Library to be able to integrate with the Java code. This class will cover the core topics for building a Java Binding library for both .JAR and .AAR files and discuss the primary scenarios available

What people say about our courses

This is what our clients have to say

After attending the Xamarin training from Peruzal on our site, we were able to drastically accelerate our internal mobile app development efforts. Peruzal was a phone call away each time we needed support.
Jonathan Winnaar Scientist @ Institute for Maritime Technology
Came across your courses on Google search, after searching for Ruby training around South Africa. We were completely blown away with how much your trainers know stuff.
Divan Santan Infrastrucutre Engineer @ First National Bank
After our DBA left, we were left with noone with the skills to manage the research and scientific database Infrastrucutre. With Peruzal, we were able to get our team running in a matter of a week.
Encarni Colmenero Astronomer @ Southern African Large Telescope
Our team had different backgrounds, application programmers and astronomers with varied database interactions, we did not have formal training in the MySQL database. Peruzal delivered the training onsite and we were comfortable working with MySQL.
Lucian Botha Astronomy Information System Specialist @ South African Astronomical Observatory
“Coming from an academic background, with no prior exposure to programming, I had to develop an Android mobile app for tuition and research purposes. Peruzal helped me to build and implement the app in record time!”
Thuli Shandu Lecturer @ Univeristy of South Africa
Having years of experience in automation and embedded systems, we wanted our team to have experience in developing for Android. Peruzal did send a trainer onsite and we were blown away with the amount of information we had learnt in just 5 days
Cobus Smith Automation Manager @ ArcelorMittal
