Course Roadmap for Professional Android Developer
Dagger
- When projects become bigger, you will need to know about Dependency Management and use Dagger in your project to manage dependencies.
- Companies like Google use Dagger in their Android Applications.
- Learn to design your own dependency management framework.
Learn Kotlin
- Revisit the basics of Kotlin.
- Start learning the Kotlin language specific features.
- Learn Kotlin advanced features.
- Nowadays, the new projects at most of the companies are getting started with Kotlin. Also, the older Java projects are getting migrated into the Kotlin.
- This is the high time to Learn Kotlin.
Architectural Components
- Architecture components like LiveData, LifeCycle, ViewModel help in managing our UI component lifecycle and handling data persistence.
- Challenges of lifecycle handling, Activity rotation problem
- Learn to create a Lifecycle Aware Component
- Sharing a ViewModel
RxJava
- RxJava has become the single most important skill for Android development.
- Almost every app uses RxJava to do multithreading.
- RxJava makes developer’s life easy.
- How does threading work in Android?
- Also asked in most of the Interview.
- Learn with practical examples.
Database Design
- Apps like WhatsApp use databases to store your data at Android end and design the database to make the query faster so that your app runs faster.
- Nowadays, we use Room which is the library created by Google. Room provides an abstraction layer over SQLite to allow fluent database access while harnessing the full power of SQLite.
- Learn about the Relational database concepts
- Normalization and many-to-many relationships
- Learn about the TypeConvertors, Migration in Room Database.
Networking
- Android Apps like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook uses Networking libraries like Retrofit to fetch the data.
- Nowadays, Retrofit is one of the prominent libraries to make Network calls.
- Learn to create GET, POST request and handle complex data Model
- There are many concepts associated with the networking which you must know such as multipart for uploading images, interceptors.

MindOrks Android Online Course Reviews
Saket Mayank
Now I am working as an Android Engineer at Gojek Tech. Mindorks Android Course for Professionals had been a life changing experience for me. It helped me in learning new topics like (Dagger2, Rxjava, architectural components etc) and above all it made me a more confident android developer than before. I would like to thank the mentors(Amit Sir and Ali Sir) all my mindorks batch mates for their constant support. I feel privileged to say that it is because of this course I got a 6x jump in salary although I had only 1.5 year of experience (Yeahhhh it’s a dream come true for me but still I feel that learning never stops and I wish Mindorks for a great future ahead)
