If you’re coming from backend engineering

A pragmatic learning path that usually works:

1. Kotlin fundamentals + coroutines
2. Android app lifecycle + threading model (main thread, background work)
3. Architecture (state, DI, data layer) + testing
4. Performance/UX (jank, startup, memory) + observability
5. Security/privacy basics (secrets, storage, network, permissions)
