Overview
Android Wireless Application Development has
earned a reputation as the most useful real-world guide to building
robust, commercial-grade Android apps. Now, authors Lauren Darcey
and Shane Conder have systematically revised and updated this guide
for the latest Android SDK 4.0. To accommodate their
extensive new coverage, they’ve split the book into two
volumes. Volume I focuses on Android essentials, including setting
up your development environment, understanding the application
lifecycle, designing effective user interfaces, developing for
diverse devices, and optimizing your mobile app development
process--from design through publishing. Every chapter has been
thoroughly updated for the newest APIs, tools, utilities, and
hardware. All sample code has been overhauled and tested on leading
devices from multiple companies, and many new examples have been
added. Drawing on decades of in-the-trenches experience as
professional mobile developers, Darcey and Conder provide valuable
new best practices--including powerful techniques for constructing
more portable apps. This new edition contains full chapters on
Android manifest files, content providers, effective app design,
and testing; an all-new chapter on tackling compatibility issues;
coverage of today’s most valuable new Android tools and
utilities; and even more exclusive tips and tricks. An
indispensable resource for every Android development team
member.

Reviewer Rating:
The book is covering all topic related to Android development and producing a high quality app. It is much better than the usual HelloWolrd type of books which aim is to go over most used classes. This book aim is to introduce Android's way of thinking. Starting Volume 2 right away...
