Modern Android App Development with Java

In the previous lessons, we learned some basics of Android development. It’s time to start working on a real Android application to gain some practical skills.

During all the future chapters, we will be working on a Travel Blog Application which consists of the following screens:

- *login screen* where you can enter your details and log in
- *blog list screen* where you can see a list of blog articles, with a possibility to search, filter or click to open *blog detail screen*
- *blog details screen* where you can check more details

To make it easier to understand what the overall application structure will look like, here is a sneak-peak of what we are going to build.

In this lesson, we will discuss how to build a travel blog application and what we want it to be able to do.
