Android Roadmap

 

  1. Understanding Kotlin: Since you're already using Kotlin with Jetpack Compose, it's crucial to deepen your understanding of the language. Focus on its advanced features like coroutines, lambdas, higher-order functions, etc.

  2. Android Architecture Components: Learn about Android's recommended architecture patterns such as MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel), MVI (Model-View-Intent), or Clean Architecture. Understand how to use LiveData, ViewModel, Room (for local database), and Paging library for handling data efficiently.

  3. Networking: Learn how to make network requests using libraries like Retrofit or Volley. Understand concepts like RESTful APIs, JSON parsing, error handling, and authentication.

  4. Dependency Injection: Familiarize yourself with Dependency Injection frameworks like Dagger or Hilt. Dependency Injection helps manage dependencies and makes your code more modular and testable.

  5. Persistence: Learn about storing and accessing data locally on the device. This involves using SQLite with Room Persistence Library or other alternatives like SharedPreferences or File storage.

  6. Authentication and Authorization: Understand different authentication mechanisms like OAuth, JWT, or Firebase Authentication. Learn how to integrate them into your app securely.

  7. UI/UX Best Practices: Dive deeper into UI/UX principles and design patterns. Understand concepts like responsive design, material design guidelines, accessibility, animations, and theming.

  8. Testing: Learn about different types of testing in Android including Unit Testing, Integration Testing, and UI Testing. Use tools like JUnit, Mockito, Espresso, and Robolectric for testing your app thoroughly.

  9. App Deployment: Understand the process of preparing your app for deployment to the Google Play Store. Learn about signing your app, generating APKs, and managing app releases.

  10. Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD): Explore CI/CD pipelines to automate the build, test, and deployment processes. Use tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, or GitHub Actions for seamless integration.

  11. Performance Optimization: Learn techniques to optimize your app's performance such as lazy loading, caching, background processing, and memory management.

  12. Monitoring and Analytics: Integrate tools like Firebase Analytics or Google Analytics to track user engagement, app crashes, and performance metrics. Learn how to analyze this data to make informed decisions for app improvements.
