Associate Android Developer Certification

All the info and material about the certification that I've collected so far.

Google has Updated their Courses and every other material below are very necessary to cover, the only new thing is Android Architecture Components.

Scrolldown to the last page to see the Updated Materials

Checkboxes

Feel free to make a fork and fill out the checkboxes as you go!

A checkbox in the editor will look like "[ ]". You just need to put an x instead of a space to check it off, like "[x]"!

Thanks to Daita for this contribution.

Testing and Debugging

Writing tests to verify that the application's logic and user interface are performing as expected, and executing those tests using the developer tools. Candidates should be able to analyze application crashes, and find common bugs such as layout errors and memory leaks. This includes working with the debuggers to step through application code and verify expected behavior.

Application User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX)

Implementation of the visual and navigational components of an application's design. This includes constructing layouts–using both XML and Java code–that consist of the standard framework UI elements as well as custom views. Candidates should have a working knowledge of using view styles and theme attributes to apply a consistent look and feel across an entire application. Understanding of how to include features that expand the application's audience through accessibility and localization may also be required.

Fundamental Application Components

Understanding of Android's top-level application components (Activity, Service, Broadcast Receiver, Content Provider) and the lifecycle associated with each one. Candidates should be able to describe the types of application logic that would be best suited for each component, and whether that component is executing in the foreground or in the background. This includes strategies for determining how and when to execute background work.

Persistent Data Storage

Determining appropriate use cases for local persisted data, and designing solutions to implement data storage using files, preferences, and databases. This includes implementing strategies for bundling static data with applications, caching data from remote sources, and managing user-generated private data. Candidates should also be able to describe platform features that allow applications to store data securely and share that data with other applications in a secure manner.

Enhanced System Integration

Extending applications to integrate with interfaces outside the core application experience through notifications and app widgets. This includes displaying information to the user through these elements and keeping that information up to date. Candidates should also understand how to provide proper navigation from these external interfaces into the application's main task, including appropriate handling of deep links.

Updated Materials

App Data and Files (Android Architecture Components)

Android architecture components are part of Android Jetpack. They are a collection of libraries that help you design robust, testable, and maintainable apps. Start with classes for managing your UI component lifecycle and handling data persistence.

My Advice is to Keep Learning and Looking for Materials that will help you become an Awesome Android Developerand take the exam!!!
