Android application development is the one of a great carrier on which most of computer science students want to learn it and start developing the real apps. Unfortunately the Android apps development is a bit complicated in many things, like the development tools (Software and Hardware tools). But, you can start learning android developments even at home and master it effectively. 

You can develop an android app using JAVA or KOTLIN language with XML for User Interface. But nowdays there's a FLUTTER (Dart) which you can also use it in developing your android applications.

Here are the things you need to know before starting learning android apps development:

1. CONCEPT OF JAVA AND OOP (Object Oriented Programming)

A good understanding in OOP will helps you to understand how different objects works when developing an app, together with classes, getter and setter and other things. So, you need to know at least about OOP.

c) Processor at least 2.4 GHz

The above requirements are minimum but you can have a PC with larger requirements than that and its okay, but below that your PC will be a little bit slower.

3. JAVA DEVELOPMENT KIT (JDK)
