Release notes for Android Developer

Fundamentals (V2) course
The Google Developers team published V2 of the Android Developer Fundamentals course
in September 2018.

The main differences between this update and the previous version of the course are:

● Practical codelabs are updated to reflect that the Empty Template in Android Studio
creates a project that uses ConstraintLayout.
● Removed lessons on SQLite and content providers.
● Added lessons on using Room database and Architecture Components. (These
lessons are identical to the lessons in the Advanced Android Development course.)
● Removed Unit 5. This unit was completely conceptual and had no accompanying
practicals. We found that people were not using the lessons in this unit.
● We have changed the location of the Concepts and Practicals:
○ Concept lessons are published in GitHub pages.
○ Tutorials are published as Google codelabs.
● We used Android Studio 3.1 to build the apps used in this course.
