Is Data structure and algorithm needed for android development?

Question

Do I first need to learn data structure and algorithm before learning java and android ? How often Algo and Ds used in making apps? TIA.

Answer 1

No.
You have to learn Basics of Java first for Android development.
After learning Java basics try to sharp OBject oriented programmaning concepts of Java.
Now you are ready to develop android apps.
If you want to make extensive and complex apps like heavy gamings or something else then start learning data structure and algorithm for it.

Point is that data structure and algorithm Is not a perquisite for Android development. Strong programming concepts of Java matters most.
