"Very useful book, and afaik, one of a kind" - by Matty C on 08-MAR-2012
Reviewer Rating:
Very useful book on the Native side of Android development - for those whose apps need to be FAST. A bit thin at times, perhaps, but remember: this book is the only one of its kind, as far as I've seen, and as such is infinitely useful. If you need more depth, you can dive into the trees: the Android docs and source code, armed with the understanding of the forest that this book provides.
