How to write cleaner Android code with Kotlin

Have you ever gone back to your code and understood nothing because it was too messy and unorganized? Have you spent tons of time trying to figure out what in the world have you written in that app?

This has happened to me many times as well and I know how frustrating this is, but we are here to actually fix it and prevent it from happening again!

Class objective

This course is about writing clean Android code which will save you a lot of time. You will be able to write much better and consistent code, so you will never end up wasting so much time trying to understand your projects.

We will work together on your programming mindset. We are going to create a way of thinking so when you write code you also refactor it afterwards, because cleaning your code after you finish a feature is as important as having the ability to write it in the first place.

This course also features many tips and tricks on how to write clean and readable code.

Downloadable project resources

There are 2 main ways of accessing the materials for this class. You can use any of them to access the Android Studio projects for each solution of each coding chapter.

Option A. Download the project files for each coding chapter directly from the lesson’s resources. For each of these lessons you will find the project attached as a ZIP file:

• 5. Importing project and running the app.

• 8. Shortening and splitting methods.

• 9. Keep your logic simple with real example.

• 11. Use Enum for static content.

• 13. Clean your code.

• 17. Collection operators: sort and find.

• 19. When to check for null and Fail Fast strategy.

• 21. Split app's responsibilities.

• 24. Structuring packages by feature.

      Finally, import the project in Android Studio.

Option B. Check out the Github repository page URL in this lesson's resources for all the coding solutions  and select the corresponding branch for each coding chapter you currently are at. After that, click Code and then select  Download ZIP. Finally, import the project in Android Studio.

Download the project files for the starting point from this lesson’s resources. Then, import the project in Android Studio.

You can alternatively check out the Github repository page URL in this lesson's resources and select the refactor-code-starter branch. After that, click Code and then select  Download ZIP. Finally, import the project in Android Studio.
