7 Best Android Courses for Beginners

Choosing the right Android course can be daunting, especially when you are just starting out. This page brings together six beginner‑friendly options from Udemy and Coursera, covering everything from basic Java app creation to game development without coding, as well as a short foray into Flutter and mobile testing tools. Prices range from $19.99 to $109.99, giving you a clear view of what each provider currently charges.

The courses are listed in our own ranking order, reflecting a balance of price, breadth of content, and platform variety. Whether you prefer a hands‑on Java approach, want to explore game design, or need a quick introduction to cross‑platform tools, the selection aims to match different learning styles and goals without claiming any single option is the definitive best.

How these 7 courses were chosen

Every course below is a real, currently listed course from Udemy, Coursera, matched to "android" by our catalog and ordered by our CourseAsk score. Courses whose own title names the topic rank above those only tagged with it.

The grade on each entry scores how much the provider publishes about the course before you pay — the length and detail of the description, whether it lists learning outcomes and objectives — and whether a named university or institution stands behind it. A is fully documented and institution-backed; E is little more than a title and a price. Courses with almost nothing published are left ungraded rather than marked down, because an unknown course and a poor one are not the same thing.

There are no star ratings on this page — the course feeds we license do not include them, and we would rather leave a column out than fill it with a number we cannot stand behind. What we do have is price: these range from $19.99 to $109.99, as listed by the provider when we last updated the page.

What the prices here tell you

The 7 priced courses on this page run from $19.99 to $109.99, with the middle of the range around $19.99 — a spread of $90.00. The options are closely priced, so cost is unlikely to be your deciding factor. A higher price on this page usually reflects who is behind the course rather than how much material it contains, so it is worth opening two or three at different price points and comparing their syllabus before deciding.

Who is behind these courses

These courses come from Udemy and Coursera. The platforms differ in how they sell: some charge once per course, others expect a subscription, and the listed price is not always what you pay at checkout after a promotion. 1 of these are produced by a named university or institution, including Duke University — which usually means a fixed syllabus and a recognised certificate, rather than an individual instructor’s own course.

Before you enrol

Open the provider’s own page and check three things this comparison cannot tell you: when the course was last updated, what the syllabus actually covers in its later sections, and what recent learners say. Prices shown here are the provider’s listed price when we last rebuilt this page on 18 September 2026 — they change often, and a promotion can move them substantially. We earn a commission if you enrol through our links, which costs you nothing and never affects the order courses appear in.

Frequently asked questions

What programming language do the beginner Android courses use?
Most of the Udemy courses focus on Java, which is the traditional language for Android development. The Coursera offering also teaches Java fundamentals, while the Flutter course uses Dart for cross‑platform development.

Three Udemy courses are priced at $19.99, providing a low‑cost entry point. The Flutter course costs $89.99, the comprehensive beginner Android course is $109.99, and the Coursera course from Duke University is $49.00.
