Hello, Android: Introducing Google's Mobile Development Platform (Pragmatic Programmers)
[[[Hello, Android: Introducing Google 's Mobile Platform Development (Pragmatic Programmers)]]]
Description:
Android is a software toolkit for mobile phones, created by Google and Open Handset Alliance. He "inside the millions of cell phones and other mobile devices, making Android a major platform for application developers. This could be your own program works on all these devices.
Getting started developing with Android is very simple. You don 't even need access to the phone Android, just a computer, where you can install the Android SDK and emulator phone that comes with it. A few minutes later, "Hello, Android" will help you create your first application running: a version of Android 'on "Hello, World."
From there you LL 'to create a more significant example: the game Android Sudoku. By gradually adding new features to the game throughout the book, you LL 'to learn about many aspects, including the Android software user interfaces, multimedia and the Android life cycle.
This second edition has been completely revised for Android 1.5 (Cupcake) and Android 1.6 (a bagel). Each page and an example has been revised and updated for compatibility with the new version. In addition, two new applications to show you how to create widgets for the screen and publish your application in the Android Market.
If you 're busy developer who' d rather coding than reading about coding, this book is for you. To help you find what you need to know fast, each chapter ends with "Fast-forward" section. Those sections provide guidance, where you should go further when you need to read a book down.
More review here
As for books, one of the things that I treasure most honest relationship between the title and content. Unfortunately, it 's quite common to find books there promising things that they Don t fullfill'.
So I mostly recommend this book for beginners, mainly for two reasons:
1. It starts with a clean slate: nothing is assumed, so that sa 'a good time to start as a developer Android.
2. Brevity: I 't have time for the 8-100-page book, to begin to develop. I LL 'deal with the ins and outs as I go, not before.
Of course, like all books about Android, Java (or C + +, C #, etc.) The basic idea here is recommended.
And I have to take another star off just to make me a code game Sudoku as a prime example of the code through the whole book. Gag.
