Welcome to the Android developer guides. These documents teach you how to build Android apps using APIs in the Android framework and other libraries.

If you're brand new to Android and want to jump into code, start with the Build Your First App tutorial.

And check out these other resources to learn Android development:

Codelabs: Short, self-paced tutorials that each cover a discrete topic. Most codelabs step you through the process of building a small app, or adding a new feature to an existing app.

Courses: Guided training paths that teach you how to build Android apps.

Online training: If you prefer to learn online with videos, check out the Developing Android Apps with Kotlin course on Udacity (trailer embedded here), and other online courses below.
