This instructor-led, live training in New Zealand (available online or on-site) is designed for developers who want to understand, adapt, and extend Android across various hardware configurations and platforms.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Set up the development environment required to begin system-level Android development.
• Understand how hardware interfaces with system services (applications).
• Iteratively develop, test, and debug system code using an Android emulator.
• Load and deploy customised Android builds on different embedded hardware systems (using simulated/emulated environments).

This course is designed to equip software testers with the essential knowledge and skills required to perform quality assurance testing on applications developed for the Android platform. It provides an overview of Android platform capabilities and introduces current best practices for conducting effective tests.

This instructor-led, live training in New Zealand (available online or on-site) is designed for developers who wish to design and build new Android TV applications. Participants can also learn how to extend their existing apps to run on TV devices, thereby increasing app engagement and revenue.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Set up the necessary development environment to begin developing Android TV apps.
• Understand the requirements for qualifying an app as a TV app.
• Create and test apps on an Android TV emulator to gain a first-hand user experience.
