java programming would be a plus

The aim of this course it to provide students some knowledge about the origin of mobile computing and some know-how for programming mobile applications. Students will learn how to install a functional programming environment, how to create a mobile application and how to install it on Android devices. The course focuses in particular on specificities of Android application programming: life cycle management, permissions processes, multithreading, use of sensors, etc.

LECTURE

Student:

W1: knows the impact of mobility on computing (I2_W10),

W2: knows partially the history of mobile computing and wireless networking (I2_W10),

W3: knows the main components of an Android applications (I2_W10),

W4: understands the way Android works internally (I2_W10),

U1: can install a proper development environment for building Android Applications (I2_U09).

LABORATORIES

Student:

U1: can create a fully functional application (I2_U09),

U2: can create a virtual device on Android Studio (I2_U09),

U3: can design and implement multithreading within its applications (I2_U09),

W1: knows the way phone calls, sensors and GPS information are handled and managed (I2_W10).

For all learning outcomes, the following assessment criteria are adopted for all forms of verification:

grade 5: fully achieved (no obvious shortcomings),

grade 4.5: achieved almost fully and criteria for awarding a higher grade are not met,

grade 4: largely achieved and the criteria for a higher grade are not met,

grade 3.5: largely achieved - with a clear majority of positives - and the criteria for granting a higher grade are not met,

grade 3: achieved for most of the cases covered by the verification and criteria for a higher grade are not met,

grade 2: not achieved for most of the cases covered by the verification.
