eBook Description:

Mastering Kotlin for Android 14: Build powerful Android apps from scratch using Jetpack libraries and Jetpack Compose. Accelerate your Android development journey by mastering the latest Kotlin techniques and libraries to build robust apps.

Written with the best practices, this Mastering Kotlin for Android 14 book will help you master Kotlin and use its powerful language features, libraries, tools, and APIs to elevate your Android apps.

As you progress, you’ll use Jetpack Compose and Material Design 3 to build UIs for your app, explore how to architect and improve your app architecture, and use Jetpack Libraries like Room and DataStore to persist your data locally. Using a step-by-step approach, this book will teach you how to debug issues in your app, detect leaks, inspect network calls fired by your app, and inspect your Room database. You’ll also add tests to your apps to detect and address code smells.

Toward the end, you’ll learn how to publish apps to the Google Play Store and see how to automate the process of deploying consecutive releases using GitHub actions, as well as learn how to distribute test builds to Firebase App Distribution. Additionally, the book covers tips on how to increase user engagement.
