Average Kotlin Language and Basic Android Studio Knowledge

Description

Animations are important visual elements that can add enagement, meaning, and better overal user experience to your Android applications.

In this course, you will learn about Android animation APIs and how to use them in your Android apps. You will learn about animations, property animation, transitions, animated vector drawables, physics-based animation, MotionLayout and more using the Kotlin programming language. Therefore, the course takes advantage of the great state-of-the-art features of Kotlin.

The course is a remake of my 2017 Android animations course which was in Java. The whole course has been re-recorded and in many cases, redesigned, to help you more quickly get started with Android animations.

By the end of the course, you will have a firm grasp of how animation in Android works. Based on the knowledge and skills you pick up here, you will be able to implement your custom animations for different views, screens, layouts, and different scenarios. The course covers simple to advanced animations in a step by step manner, empowering you with strong and modern animations as you go.

Whether you are a beginner Android developer looking to get started with Animations or a seasoned professional developer keen on adding meaningful motion elements to your Android apps, or even if you have worked with Android animations before, but want to refresh your knowledge, this course is for you.

So, do yourself a favor, buy the course now and start working with Android animations.

Last but not least, the course is backed by Udemy's 30-day moneyback guarantee.

Then, take the course now and join me in this exciting journey with Android animations.
