What the Course Includes

This course is available from Udemy, among others sites. It’s normally priced at about $200 but is currently available for 90-95% off thanks to a Black Friday special. The course takes 32.5 hours to complete, and offers 272 lectures at a variety of experience levels. With the course you’ll receive lifetime access, a certificate upon completion of the course, and your money back (within 30 days) if the course doesn’t work for you.

How the Course Works

Before you purchase the course, you can preview a selection of initial lectures to see if the course is right for you. The course includes a combination of videos and articles. There are 22 different course sections, or main lecture topics. The sections include: an introduction to the course, Android Studio, Java Deep Drive, media on Android, advanced Android features, maps and geolocation, permanent data storage, cloning of various apps, marketing techniques, and more.

In order to learn how to make your own apps, you’ll need to understand how other popular Android apps were created. You’ll first learn to use Java and Android Studio (with help from your PC) to create simple apps, such as a currency converter and a brainteaser app, and then eventually clone apps like WhatsApp, Uber, Flappy Bird, Twitter, and Instagram. In addition, as you work your way through the course, you’ll create your own app as you go. That way, you can quickly put your knowledge to work and immediately apply it to your app. Once your app is completed, the course will provide you with a guide on how to submit your app to the Play store. It’ll also help you to market your app, learn SEO best practices, and receive money through Google Adwords. As a bonus, the course even includes an introduction to Android Wear.

<![CDATA[The Secret Cat Collecting Mini-Game in Nougat]]> https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/secret-cat-collecting-mini-game-nougat/ Fri, 12 Aug 2016 19:52:47 +0000 https://www.psafe.com/en/blog/?p=2906 If any lesson has been learned in 2016, it’s that people love catching things with their phones. Just recently, the pop culture craze of catching Pokemon erupted when the semi-virtual reality game Pokemon Go was released. And now… cats??

“Android Neko” is an Easter Egg game that can only be accessed when you dig deep into your phone. Keep in mind this game is only accessible to those who have the Android 7.0 Nougat, which is planned to be released in early August. Here’s how to do it.

Steps for Accessing Android Neko

  1. Locate the settings app.
  2. Select “About Phone.”
  3. Tap on the “Android Version” button three times.
  4. Locate the big “N.” Tap on this three times, then press and hold.
  5. Find your notification panel — pull it down twice. This will expose the “quick settings” option.
  6. Click “Edit.”
  7. You should find a “???? Android Easter Egg” button on this screen. There should also be a cat head on it. Drag it up to your current tiles.
  8. After dragging it to your current tiles, the “???? Android Easter Egg” button should transform into a tile named “Empty Dish.”
  9. Tap on the empty dish. This should bring up options of foods to feed your new kitty. You get to choose between four items: treat, chicken, bits, or fish.
  10. Select which food option you desire and it should take over the empty dish tile.
  11. You’re almost there! Wait a little and you should receive a notification that reads: “A Cat is Here,” from “Android Neko.”
  12. You should now have a cat notification. You can click on this to view your collection of cats.
  13. You can rename your cat by tapping on it. If you press and hold the cat, you can share a high resolution image of your friend to whatever app you desire.

You’re finished! It’s much easier than trespassing on your neighbor’s lawn to capture a Pikachu. Android has not released any further details about this hidden game.
