This book is giving me the confidence I need to believe I can develop Android apps on my own.
I've emailed authors at their contact emails of the aforementioned books, only to receive crickets in return. It's nice to know there's built-in product support with this group. They were prompt, professional, and friendly. All of this within the same business day - FREE OF CHARGE.
I email the staff at, and they got back to me within the hour, asked for my code and found my problem. I had a problem getting my project from chapter 27 to work. I have read MANY books that claim to 'teach' you programming - Java, MySQL, Python.all of them discuss a lot of theory and have little to no working project examples to give you an idea of what's going on and how to correctly implement the code. I am currently working through this book. Assuming you already have some Java programming experience, are ready to download Android Studio and the Android SDK, have access to a Windows, Mac or Linux system and ideas for some apps to develop, you are ready to get started. Chapters also cover advanced features of Android Studio such as App Links, Instant Apps, the Android Studio Profiler and Gradle build configuration. Other key features of Android Studio 3 and Android 8 are also covered in detail including the Layout Editor, the ConstraintLayout and ConstraintSet classes, constraint chains and barriers, direct reply notifications and multi-window support. In addition to covering general Android development techniques, the book also includes Google Play specific topics such as implementing maps using the Google Maps Android API, and submitting apps to the Google Play Developer Console. The concepts of material design are also covered in detail, including the use of floating action buttons, Snackbars, tabbed interfaces, card views, navigation drawers and collapsing toolbars. This edition of the book also covers printing, transitions and cloud-based file storage. More advanced topics such as database management, content providers and intents are also covered, as are touch screen handling, gesture recognition, camera access and the playback and recording of both video and audio.
An introduction to the architecture of Android is followed by an in-depth look at the design of Android applications and user interfaces using the Android Studio environment. An overview of Android Studio is included covering areas such as tool windows, the code editor and the Layout Editor tool. Beginning with the basics, this book provides an outline of the steps necessary to set up an Android development and testing environment. Fully updated for Android Studio 3.0 and Android 8, the goal of this book is to teach the skills necessary to develop Android based applications using the Android Studio Integrated Development Environment (IDE), the Android 8 Software Development Kit (SDK) and the Java programming language.
