By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Implement MVVM architecture and Jetpack components.
• Use Kotlin coroutines and WorkManager for async and background tasks.
• Persist data using Room and DataStore.
• Test apps using JUnit and Espresso.
• Integrate REST APIs and apply performance optimizations.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
