  • 0:01 - 0:04
    Welcome back. We have good news and bad news.
  • 0:04 - 0:08
    The bad news first is that this is the last
  • 0:08 - 0:10
    lesson in the course. The good news though this is
  • 0:10 - 0:11
    going to be the most awesome lesson in the course.
  • 0:12 - 0:14
    >> So to recap what we've learned so far.
  • 0:14 - 0:15
    >> In lesson one we talked about what
  • 0:15 - 0:18
    is UX and the difference between UI and UX.
  • 0:18 - 0:21
    >> In lesson two we talked the user centered
  • 0:21 - 0:24
    design process and got into personas and use cases.
  • 0:24 - 0:26
    >> In lesson three, we talked about the mobile
  • 0:26 - 0:31
    user and talked about different mobile user constraints. Yeah and lesson four
  • 0:31 - 0:34
    we are going to talk about not about constraints but about the capabilities
  • 0:34 - 0:37
    that are unlocked by mobile and the amazing things that you can do
  • 0:37 - 0:42
    on Android to blow your users minds and create amazing five star applications.
  • 0:42 - 0:44
    >> So Nazmul, everybody wants to know.
  • 0:44 - 0:47
    >> How do we get closer to making five star apps. That's a good
  • 0:47 - 0:49
    question. First, we're going to understand the
  • 0:49 - 0:52
    amazing capabilities that Android platform has to offer.
  • 0:52 - 0:55
    Then, we're going to imagine how to use these capabilities
  • 0:55 - 0:58
    to create some really kick ass features for your apps
  • 0:58 - 1:00
    and through all this we're going to learn that context
  • 1:00 - 1:04
    is what helps us deliver five star applications to our users.
  • 1:04 - 1:07
    >> So, Nazmul what do you mean by context? So context
  • 1:07 - 1:11
    is all about a user and what they're doing in a
  • 1:11 - 1:12
    physical environment when they're interacting
  • 1:12 - 1:14
    with your application. Now, before we
  • 1:14 - 1:18
    get to the details of what context is made up of.
  • 1:18 - 1:20
    You're probably a web and desktop developer, so
  • 1:20 - 1:22
    let's talk about the difference between the Android
  • 1:22 - 1:26
    platform and web and desktop. There's some fundamental
  • 1:26 - 1:29
    similarities between web/desktop and mobile machines. I mean after
  • 1:29 - 1:31
    all, they actually collect data from input sources
  • 1:31 - 1:34
    they process that information and they produce output.
  • 1:34 - 1:36
    So what are some of the inputs do
  • 1:36 - 1:39
    you think that are similar between web/desk and Android?
  • 1:39 - 1:42
    >> Well they both have keyboards and you can enter information that way.
  • 1:42 - 1:43
    >> And they also
  • 1:43 - 1:44
    both have pointing devices.
  • 1:44 - 1:47
    >> And they both have a network connection. Yeah they're a
  • 1:47 - 1:50
    lot of similarity of input sources but the power of Android
  • 1:50 - 1:54
    truly lies in the input sources or sensors that are available
  • 1:54 - 1:58
    in Android that are simply not available on web and desktop.
  • 1:58 - 2:01
    >> Exactly. One simple example is GPS. So can you name all the other
  • 2:01 - 2:03
    input sources that are available on Android
  • 2:03 - 2:05
    that are not available on web and desktop?
  • 2:05 - 2:07
