Delve into Flutter's UI framework to build high-quality Android apps, from creating contact profiles to enhancing them with themes and API integration, culminating in app publication.

Flutter is Google’s mobile UI framework used for crafting high-quality native interfaces on iOS and Android. This course focuses on building applications for the Android platform.

You’ll start by exploring the intricacies of Flutter and work your way up to implementing a contact profile page for an Android address book.

In the latter half of the course, you’ll learn to work with Flutter themes to spruce up the contact profile app you created. To round out your Flutter experience, you’ll also practice fetching data from a remote Application Programming Interface (API).

You’ll put into practice what you learn using live coding environments embedded within the course. By the time you’re done, you’ll be ready to create your own Android app and publish it to the Google Play Store.
