Remote data is essential in Android apps, but many teams struggle when networking concerns spread across screens, stakeholders, and business logic.
In this course, Android Networking and APIs with Kotlin, you’ll gain the ability to build a clean, reliable remote data layer for a modern Compose app.
First, you’ll explore how to configure Android for network access, model API payloads, and define Retrofit service contracts.
Next, you’ll discover how to build reusable API clients with OkHttp and Kotlin serialization, and call them from repositories using coroutines and structured concurrency.
Finally, you’ll learn how to expose loading, success, empty, and error states to ViewModels and Compose while completing a full CRUD feature backed by remote data.
When you’re finished, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Android networking and API integration needed to connect apps to web services safely and predictably.
