This is Your 2024 Action Plan to Get Your Android Dream Job

Hey Philipp, thanks a bunch for your cool videos! I followed your 2023 plan and learned Kotlin, Android basics, Jetpack Compose, coroutines, flows, and aced Room and SQLite. Used to be an Android Java beginner, but now I'm fluent in both Java and Kotlin, handling XML and Jetpack Compose like a pro. Fast forward to 2024, got two apps on the Play Store. The first one was basic with textViews and buttons. The second? It's a PDF reader with a file picker, bookmarks, favorites, and language options. Now, I'm diving into API calls, Firebase, and some advanced stuff for an even cooler app in 2024!

Like! if you don't the JetPackCompose.

I appreciate the valuable insights shared in this video, highlighting key aspects essential for securing an Android development role. It's crucial to mention that many companies use LeetCode exercises alongside Android Home Assessments to evaluate candidates. Additionally, a well-crafted resume is pivotal in making a positive first impression and navigating the initial screening process.

Philip ur my mentor, man keep it an inspiration to all of us

I am literally watching this hours betore my first job interview. Wish me luck lol

Hello Philipp, thanks for your tutos !I have checked the link about mentoring but I don't see the price.

I wish I were a poet to aptly capture the depth of gratitude I feel for Philipp's videos, courses, and overall content! His dedication has profoundly impacted countless individuals, myself included. Investing in any of his offerings is a decision you won't regret—I can attest to that firsthand. And no, he didn't pay me to say this! 😊

🥰🥰 wawo,Thank you🫡 for these tips and encouragement, and special thanks for the courses you provide 🫡🥰🥰

I really really appreciate this video. I am almost end of my university life and nothing good to show at the end of the tunnel. Now at least I have a clear direction what to do next and that actually saves a lot of time which would lost in the sea of informations. Thanks a lot for the video again.

😍😍😍

Thanks Philipp for such a amazing video❤

As always a great video. 👍🏻 A question to all:

when I use the microphone on Google assistant or any other assistant apps, there is a view which is half the size of the screen popping up. Now you can usually speak. The upper half of the screen is transparent and you can see the Smartphone home screen.

I know its like a bottom sheet but how can I make the upper half transparent?

Great advice, I seem to be on a good path.

Nice video as Always! I'd like to ask you if you see viable only learning kotlin+compose and avoiding xml/views (talking about looking for a job with these skills), or is xml still a must-know?

can any one please send me the jetpack free pdf im not unable to get into a link

Should I use android id as unique identifier if my app is not using account and authentication & is it stable. I basically want to remove user cheating the refer system by installing of same device again after data reset. If anybody could guide on this , please reply.

May I ask you for a separate video where you are building a launcher with Jetpack Compose? In my own launcher, I am stuck on implementing widget hosting

Your timing is sooooo good 🥹

Seriously need an advice. I am java developer (Java, Kotlin, Groovy, Scala), basically i work in Java ecosystem.

I know Spring framework, using which I create REST API's. Have created BMI Calculator with beautiful UI using XML & Java just to get my hands dirty on Android.

Now I have learned quite a bit of Jetpack Compose basically learned enough to create beautiful UI's.

I am currently creating a Flashcard App, quite a medium scale project, not small not big. I am creating it using Kotlin Jetpack Compose, for database (PostgreSQL) operations I am using Java Springboot, and for AI operations I am using Python FastAPI. Now the questions:

1) Should I include such project in my resume that uses multiple technologies? Will it shine and consider an Android Project?

2) In my resume if I am applying for Android job, should I highlight my one of the AI project Or even Java Springboot Project? Because i saw somewhere, where on Job posting of android, a company was hiring an Android Developer with having knowledge of Spring framework.

3) When talk about Android Development, are there two separate teams for backend and frontend, or in android Development it's just full stack android developer.

4) How many projects should I have in my resume?

5) Instead of Applying as an android developer in an android development job, can I apply as a Software Engineer, and also put some of my award winning projects on my resume that are not android based projects?

Please tell me, or if you find it easy, make a video.

Thank you ♥️♥️

This video is just super valuable, thank you a lot Philipp.

Every video of yours is gold, thank you!!!🙏

🔥🔥

After watching your 2023 roadmap in September 2023, I have almost completed all the above mentioned playlists I made a mistake by just watching videos and not building projects along with it. I have all the knowledge to build a app but cannot apply it practically. A few days ago, Started 50 tasks challenge covering all basic and necessary parts related to all above topics then going to build some small projects like Basic Calculator/to-do app then going to build 2-3 bigger projects that will eventually get into my portfolio. I have restricted myself from watching any tutorials for above challenge and instead use documentation or google for any kind of assistance. Thank You for being a Mentor to me! Also wanted to ask at what time you learn about Firebase as you do not mention about that in these kind of videos??. ❤

I just want to get out of this dump

Thanks a lot

Feeling always better & better as I found your content in my Android Development journey. Which helps me a lot not just in development but also in motivating. Salute 🫡

My heart bump bump bump. Thanks thanks thanks ^^

Hey lackner, started my android journey with your resources but most of your videos are depricated... What is the solution to this ? How to find a solution to a depricated error? I mean where should we find it ? Its way tooo overwhelming..❤

Your free jetpack compose pdf link is redirecting to some freelancing academy program. Please check

thanks a lot Philipp, really very helpful video.

👏👏👏👏👏Really, really amazing content. Thank you for being so helpful to the community. ♥♥♥♥♥

And whoever denies that lives under a rock😂😂😂

Hey Philipp. Thanks for the video. I'm a software developer working in India having 6 years of experience in front end Android and backend Java spring boot microservices and knowledge in Azure cloud. I aspire to work in Germany. I wanted to know more about the job market in the European Union specially in Germany. The job market being tough is just a divider. I feel if we keep upskilling then there are no boundaries. I wanted to know just few things from you.

1. Can you provide with a brief overview of the software industry job market in Germany. Like what are the prospects of a Mobile full stack developer. I dont have a keen interest on web full stack like angular since ive not done much in it but i have knowledge. Here in india if i apply for full stack they usually understand it as angular spring boot. But when i say android they take it as separate skill. So what are yours thoughts on this? Is android spring boot a unique tech to continue in? I have 6 years doing both of it.

2. Is web front end too saturated? When i see full stack and apply they ask me angular. Looking at this i feel let me just learn angular but i dont firstly dont get that interest Secondly i feel theres so many people in it that it just doesnt seem worth.

3. To apply to Germany theres a new rule from the German government that we can come to Germany for 1 year and find a job within a year. Or you can apply in india itself and if selected company will assist you in visa and relocation. Which do you prefer if you were in my place.

I follow you for android tutorials and you do a great job. All the best for your furthur videos and have a nice time.

Auf wierdersehen😊❤

A note for beginners:
When you first get started, progress will be slow...like...INCREDIBLY SLOW!
I got started with Android Development just over a week ago and even though I've created web apps with React, worked with databases, coded APIs and done low level programming in the past with C++, it still took me 3 FULL days to understand and code a simple bottom navigation bar with 2 buttons.
However, what you'll find is that skills stack up fast and progress speeds up exponetially and by the 5 day, I was able to completely implement nested navigation, and now after 8 days, I've implemented both email authentication and Admob.
The biggest hurdle is adapting to the new paradigm of thinking but if you have done web programming in the past, a lot of concepts will carry across.
I know Philip mentioned that learning design patterns wasn't important to start with, but I'd disagree. For a calculator app, it may not be. But for anything with more than 2 screens, you really need to start thinking about how to structure your codebase and begin modularising everything into classes and functions. If you don't, you're eventually gonna end up spending more time finding bugs than actually fixing them.

Love you

Thank you for the video ❤

Do a web search. Less than 20 JUNIOR Android jobs in the USA. There's your answer on how bad the market is.

Thanks for sharing 🙏
Valueable things

Very cool video.

Thank you Philipp for the guidance ❤Most of the higher companies required Android developers who knows Data Structure and Algorithms, Time complexity, Dynamic Programming, Competitive programming and secondary domain like iOS or hybrid development 🥲. Do you any idea to overcome the problem and resolve it ??, that would be helpful 🤔

Can you make videos about system design. HLD and LLD rounds are very common these days for intermediate level developers and its difficult to crack if we don't have experience in building huge projects.
How can we learn that?

Sir but in India most of the company demand Java for android development and I am a kotlin developer 😢

Thanks for the video 🙏

Sir can you make a video on kotlin multiple platforms..how to make API ,use spring boot,rest API ,MVC Platforms..

What's your course price ? 😊

your hair's looking cool, Philipp.
so good to see you after a while.

I would like to know how mentoring works with you

Planing to get your cource.
