eLearning Android App with Source Code

In this tutorial, you will understand how to build a basic e-learning application using Android Studio.

What is an E-learning App?

This is an e-learning application. This app enables the creators to upload their content and the users on the app can see their courses. This app shows category-wise content to its users. The users can choose the category and it will show all the courses available.

Flow of Android E-learning Application

There is a home screen with 3 buttons. One for the admin, one for the users, and one for the tutor. Clicking on the tutor button will redirect you to its register screen. Enter your details to create a new account or log in to an existing account. It will take you to the Dashboard.

Prerequisites for E-learning Application in Android

To create the apps, we will need to use android studio. You should have an understanding of how Android works. To complete the project, you must have good knowledge of the following technologies/tools.

Java: Java is used to code the app’s functionality.
XML: An XML document is a markup language.
Android Studio: We will create apps using Android Studio.
Firebase: All the videos and data will be stored on Firebase.

Developing TechVidvan Android E-learning app

Let’s take a look at the files we created for this e-learning app before we begin to implement it. They are as follows:

1. We will begin by creating activity_main.xml, which contains the dashboard code. There will be different modules on this screen.

2. It is followed by a java file, MainActivity.java. The above file is handled by this file. The user will be redirected to the next screen depending on the module they have selected.

3. Next, we have to make XML files for the user interface of our modules, and java files for the code in those modules.

4. Below you will see some of the files we are going to use :

a. Themes.xml: Our theme will be defined by this.

b. colors.xml: Our application’s colors will be defined by this parameter.

Download eLearning Android App Code

In order to actually implement the application, please download the project code: eLearning Android Project Code

Once you have downloaded the e-learning project, you need to open the zip file and extract.

Steps to implement the Project:

1. Download TechVidvan e-learning app source code, unzip it to your desktop, select Open, and navigate to the directory where the source code is located. Now, launch and run Android Studio, select Open, and navigate to where the source code is located.

2. Simply click the green Run button at the top of the page. The app will start running on your Virtual Device.

Summary

Our goal in this article was to make you understand what an e-learning application is. We discussed the application’s flow, requirements, and how this can be implemented on Android Studio. You can even add more features like adding payment options, discounts, and coupons to the app.
