Week 7 - Kotlin Android Development Course for Beginners - Loading Data With Retrofit

This week's lecture will teach you how load remote weather data using the open source library Retrofit, and how to load images from a url using the image loading library Coil.

This is lecture 7 in a 9 week series on mobile app development with Android and Kotlin. In this Android development course for beginners, you'll learn the fundamentals of Android development with Kotlin while building a simple weather app using Android Studio.

This lecture was recorded in support of a course I'm teaching at North Seattle College.

🤔This week's lecture covers the following questions:
- How to load data from a remote api using Retrofit; an HTTP client library for Android/JVM?
- How to listen to changes in SharedPreferences values?
- How to load and display remote images using the Coil image loading library

This Android development course is aimed at beginner programmers who have some familiarity with Java and object oriented programming, but haven't necessarily built mobile apps before.
