This is the repository for the LinkedIn Learning course Building AI-Powered Android Apps with Gemini. The full course is available from LinkedIn Learning.
Android apps can now process AI prompts using cloud-based Large Language Models, starting with Google Gemini. In this course you’ll learn how to use the Gemini API to prototype an Android App with AI, and then how to migrate to Vertex API in Firebase for production apps. The course also teaches how to use Gemini in Android Studio to generate code and answer programming questions.
See the readme file in the main branch for updated instructions and information.
This repository has branches for each of the videos in the course. You can use the branch pop up menu in github to switch to a specific branch and take a look at the course at that stage, or you can add /tree/BRANCH_NAME to the URL to go to the branch you want to access.
The branches are structured to correspond to the videos in the course. The naming convention is CHAPTER#_MOVIE#. As an example, the branch named 02_03 corresponds to the second chapter and the third video in that chapter.
Some branches will have a beginning and an end state. These are marked with the letters b for "beginning" and e for "end". The b branch contains the code as it is at the beginning of the movie. The e branch contains the code as it is at the end of the movie. The main branch holds the final state of the code when in the course.
