Week 9 - Kotlin Android Development Course for Beginners - Adaptive UI

This week's lecture will teach you how to start customizing your app layouts for different device configurations. We'll add a tablet-specific layout, and add "empty" and "loading" states to our home screen.

This is lecture 9 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 show an "empty state" when there is no app data?
- How to display a loading indicator?
- How to provide a custom layouts for tablets?

Thank you very much for your effort!
I want to tell you that I really enjoyed the course since you explain really well. I have enjoyed listening to you and it seems very important to someone who teaches.

I think some parts that you have included in the beginners course are very interesting, like the Navigation component, which I did not know about and I really liked.

I also want to thank you for leaving the code errors you made in the videos to explain how to fix them. I think this detail is very important, because when we are starting we usually have many errors that we don't know how to deal with.

Hopefully one day you decide to do a more advanced course, since we will appreciate it and enjoy it very much.

Thank you very much!
