Course updated to October 2015 [Re-Design a 10,000,000 Downloads Android App]

The app industry is a lucrative industry if you know
what you are doing. Everyday there are tons of mobile apps
uploaded to either Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Not even
mention about other alternative app stores

Hence, the competition can be very fierce if you are about to
create an app from scratch. If you do not have any knowledge
about programming, the app creation process may take months or
even years to complete

Let us ask you a question. Will you create a wheel
that is square in shape? We bet you not. It is
ridiculous to re-invent the wheel and make it into
another shape

Analogously, it is unwise to create an Android app
from nothing, unless you already have some excellent
programming knowledge. For sure, we are not saying that
everyone should NOT learning programming language

Here is the truth. You may need to take months or years just to
master those hard-to-understand programming knowledge. So, if
you easily get overwhelmed by the programming language, then this
course is definitely for you! We will teach you create an app
without touching any line of codes!

Look, this course can provide you a simpler picture
of what Android development is all about. Are you
ready to create your first Android app? Faster than
others? [Apps Reskinning]

Apps Reskinning is an alternative mobile app industry that you
can penetrate. In laymen term, reskin an app means changing the
graphics and musics of an app while maintaining its source
code. In other words, we get a source code and alter some of the
graphics and changing the music files

In this course, you will first learn how to install JDK (Java
Development Kit), an important virtual machine that is needed to
run Android Studio. Next, you will learn how to
install Android Studio (the Official Integrated
Development Environment (IDE) for Android) and the
Android SDK (Software Development Kit) [Source Code]

The source code is included in this course. It has
been downloaded more than 10,000,000 times on Google Play
Store. Check out our first video [App Compilation Errors - Solved!]

As you all may know, any wrong steps in importing the source code
may result in compilation errors in Android Studio. This is
why we will teach you step-by-step how to import the source code
right in the first place. There are many newbie
app developers get overwhelmed on this and
eventually give up. We have came across those
paths and we will reveal to you the smarter steps on
importing the source code. Zero errors, that is
what you need! [Android SDK Configuration]

Before we use Android Studio, it is important to configure the
Android SDK. There are certain important packages that you
will need to install to avoid compilation errors. Some of the
packages includes:

* Android SDK Tools
* Android SDK Platform-tools
* Android SDK Build-tools
* SDK Platform and its Google APIs (Application
Programming Interfaces) for a particular Android
version
* Android Support Repository
* Android Support Library
* Google Play services
* Google Repository

If you do not properly configure the Android SDK, chances are you
will have many compilation errors. Zero errors, that is what
we will teach you! [Importing Source Code - Correctly!]

Importing the Android Studio project can be quite challenging
especially if you are newbie. This may also make
you overwhelmed if you are intermediate Android
developers. But, we have good news for you! We
have created a comprehensive and step-by-step video
for you, just to teach you how to import the
source code correctly within minutes. Note that NOT
every code you need to "touch", we will tell you
which codes you need to make adjustment, and there
is no coding or programming skills required at all! Many
newbie developers get stucked here because of the complexity of
Android Studio. No more headache we would say! Zero
compilation errors, period [Source Code Anatomy]

By the way, we will train you to become an Android "doctor" who is
able to "diagnose" the anatomy of the source code
We will tell you which codes to edit and you simply
no need to understand it. We will train you how to
change the Targeted SDK, the Package Name and App
Name on Smartphone. Edit the string file, apply
some refactor steps, change targeted Android SDK
version. That's it! [Photoshop Mastery: Learn the Essence of Photoshop]

Frankly to say that you will need to master Photoshop to
sustain in the app business for the long run. If you do not have
enough money to fund those programmers as well as graphic
designers, then just do it yourself. It is not that challenging
though. We know there are many other Photoshop-alike
softwares, but, if we were to compare the quality and the
advanced editing features, Photoshop is still a
better choice. You may feel uncomfortable at first
when using Photoshop, but I bet you will get used
to it. Here are the items that we will guide you to
make some edition on Photoshop:

* Game Character
* Game Background
* Game Fonts
* Game Tileset
* Game Icon
* Game Screenshot
