How to make an Android App (video tutorial)

I did a brownbag session at Wotif office about how to make an Android app. It covers a lot of the basics of making an app with Android Studio.

This is an introduction session for Android. It covers the following:

• Introduction to core concepts like: android building blocks, activities, intents, back stacks, services etc.
• Covers project structure using Android Studio.
• We create a basic app that downloads cat pictures from Instagram API.
• Work with a ListView to display data.
• Code is available at: https://github.com/dmendis/android-intro-cat-viewer
