Week 1: Getting Started with Android Development

**Overview**: The first week introduces you to the Android development environment and
the Kotlin programming language.

### Topics Covered:

1. **Setting Up Android Studio**


- **Installing Android Studio**: Download and configure Android Studio on your system.
This includes selecting the correct version for your operating system and understanding the
necessary system requirements for optimal performance.
- **Project Structure**: Understand the components of an Android project. Familiarize
yourself with the AndroidManifest.xml file, where app metadata and permissions are
defined, the Java/Kotlin source files that contain your app logic, and the 'res' folder that
houses UI elements and other resources.
- **Gradle**: Learn how Android applications are built and managed using Gradle,
including how to manage dependencies and build variants. Understand the significance of
the build.gradle file in defining project structure and configurations.

2. **Introduction to Kotlin Basics**


- **Variables and Types**: Explore the Kotlin language, focusing on the difference between
mutable (`var`) and immutable (`val`) variables. Delve into Kotlin's rich set of data types,
including Int, String, Boolean, and List, which form the foundation for data manipulation in
your applications.
- **Conditionals and Loops**: Write basic logic using if-else statements and loops (for,
while) to control the flow of your application based on conditions. This foundational
knowledge is crucial for developing dynamic applications.
- **Functions**: Learn how to declare and call functions in Kotlin, along with
understanding parameters and return types. Functions are essential for organizing code
and enhancing reusability.

3. **Google Developer Program**


- **Resources for Developers**: Explore the wealth of resources provided by Google for
Android developers, including Google Codelabs, which offer hands-on coding exercises, and
the Google Play Console for app distribution and management.
- **Sign Up**: Learn how to register for the Google Developer Program. This program
grants you access to exclusive content, updates on new Android features, and tools to
enhance your development experience.

### Summary
By the end of this week, you will have a solid understanding of how to set up your Android
development environment and the fundamentals of Kotlin programming. This foundation
will prepare you for the more advanced topics and practices in Android development in the
coming weeks.
