Java Essentials need for Android App Developers?

Hello World! (always a cool way to begin a technical blog). As covered in my previous blog post about Why you should learn Android Programming, I would like to delve into the details of the Java essentials needed to commence learning Android programming. The bottom line is that you need to learn Java to start building your awesome android apps. Here are some of the concepts, instructions and software that might prove highly helpful in your endeavours to use them in Java as well as Android app development. Java Essentials for Android App Developers

1. Programming Environment

An ideal Java environment is critical to write Java code with ease and personal convenience. We recommend using the Eclipse IDE from the very beginning for all your Java as well as Android related programming.

2. Primitive Data types

Data types form the very basics and the core of programming with Java. its important to learn in great detail about almost all data types that come in handy in day-to- day programming. They include character type, int type, float type, boolean etc.

3. Strings

Strings also form an essential part of Java programming. Implementations of concatenation, searching parts of string etc. are an important part of Java and prove on to be highly useful programming tools in the long run.

4. Selection Control Structures

Conditional statements like if, if-else, switch etc. are quintessential when it comes to carrying out operations when certain conditions are fulfilled. They too form the crux of carrying out programming in any language.

5. Methods

There are many instances when similar tasks need to be carried out multiple times within a program. Functions or methods come in handy here. Youll use hundreds of functions when programming in any language hence its crucial to become adept in using them. Some of the implementations of functions might be to find the largest number among a list of numbers, searching a particular word in a string etc.

6. Classes

In the real world, youll find many similar objects of the same kind. Java is essentially an object-oriented language, an aspect of it which differentiates it from many lowlevel programming languages such as C. Lets take the example of a bicycle in the real world. Bicycles share properties of having two wheels, a seat etc. We can say that someones bicycle is an instance of the class of objects, bicycles. Even when programming in Java (and even in Android!), you might have to create classes that contain similar attributes and functions within them. Objects of that class can be called in a variety of situations to make programming efficient, simpler and more concise.

7. Inheritance, Interfaces and Abstract Classes

Objects define their interaction with the outside world through the methods that they expose. Methods form the objects interface with the outside world; the buttons on the front of your television set, for example, are the interface between you and the

electrical wiring on the other side of its plastic casing. You press the power button to turn the television on and off. In its most common form, an interface is a group of related methods with empty bodies. A bicycles behaviour, if specified as an interface, might appear as follows:

interface Bicycle {

//

wheel revolutions per minute

void changeCadence(int newValue);

void changeGear(int newValue);

void speedUp(int increment);

void applyBrakes(int decrement);

8. Arrays

An array is a container object that holds a fixed number of values of a single type. They are important in storing data of a particular type and are highly expedient when accessing data (especially when making lengthy android apps)
