About This Course

The follow-on to AI-Powered Mobile App Development with Flutter. You already know how to build a mobile app — state, architecture, async, HTTP, error states, testing, release. This course teaches the Android way of doing all of it, porting the same app, same brief, same API contract, same backend. Kotlin because Android has been Kotlin-first since 2019 and Jetpack Compose only works in Kotlin — legacy Java/XML-View code is still covered, in Module 40, for when you meet it.

Course Curriculum

45 modules in ten parts. Each part builds on the one before it.

01

Orientation Modules 1–3

Why native, tooling, Gradle, project anatomy, and planning the port.

02

Kotlin Modules 4–9

Kotlin for Dart developers — with null safety, coroutines and Flow as the pivotal three.

03

Compose Modules 10–18

Recomposition, modifiers, theming, state, lazy lists, forms, navigation, adaptive layouts, and accessibility.

04

Architecture Modules 19–23

Android’s architecture guidance, ViewModel, Hilt, DataStore, and Room 3.

05

Network Modules 24–28

Retrofit, the five UI states, CRUD, auth and the Keystore, and offline-first with WorkManager.

06

Platform Modules 29–33

Process death, permissions, camera, notifications, location, intents, App Links, and widgets.

07

Professional Modules 34–40

Debugging, testing, performance, security, build variants, Play release, and legacy Java.

08

Beyond Modules 41–42

Kotlin Multiplatform, and Flutter vs native from your own evidence.

09

AI Practice Modules 43–44

Prompting for Android, AI code review, and controlled change.

10

Capstone Module 45

Finish, review, release, and defend.

Your Final Project

A native Android port of your Flutter app — Compose UI, ViewModel + StateFlow architecture, Room with a tested migration, Retrofit networking, correct behaviour under process death, and a signed release build ready to replace your Flutter app in the Play Store. Plus a STACK-COMPARISON.md: Flutter vs native, from your own two implementations.
