Get thoroughly up to speed on Android programming, and learn how to create up-to-date user experiences for both handsets and tablets. With this book’s extensively revised second edition, you’ll focus on Android tools and programming essentials, including best practices for using Android 4 Apis. If you’re experienced with Java or Objective-C, you’ll gain the knowledge necessary for building well-engineered applications.
Programming Android is organized into four parts:
- Part One helps programmers with some Java or iOs experience get off to a fast start with the Android Sdk and Android programming basics.
- Part Two delves into the Android framework, focusing on user interface and graphics class hierarchies, concurrency, and databases. It’s a solid foundation for understanding of how the most important parts of an Android application work.
- Part Three features code skeletons and patterns for accelerating the development of apps that use web data and Android 4 user interface conventions and Apis.
- Part Four delivers practical coverage of Android’s multimedia, search, location, sensor, and account Apis, plus the Native Development Kit, enabling developers to add advanced capabilities.

Free Programming Android: Java Programming for the New Generation of Mobile Devices
In this book, unlike other books on Android, you will not only learn how to program for Android but you will gain a thorough understanding of its architecture. Indeed, this book covers much more ground than other books on the subject and each topic is supported by source code examples that you can "fork" on GitHub and use for your own projects. This is what makes it an invaluable reference book for any programmer coming to Android from Java, C++ or other mobile platforms such as the iPhone.
This book is divided into four distinct parts:
"Part 1: Tools and Basics" where you learn to familiarize yourself with the various development tools that make up the ecosystem of Android including a quick introduction to Java.
"Part 2: About Android Framework" where you will learn the necessary foundation to build robust Android applications.
"Part 3: A Skeleton Application for Android" will teach you Android Programming in more depth. You will learn to build a GUI that can run both on a tablet or on a smaller screen, the foundation for you to connect to web services using REST and more.
Finally, "Part 4: Advanced Topics" introduces you to more advanced concepts such as the search interface, geolocation & maps, multimedia, sensors, NFC, gestures, contacts and media-social and how to use the NDK to build Android applications in C++.
I own both the first and the second editions. I've compared the contents of two editions and I can stated that the book has been completely revised by the authors to clarify the text in several places and to update the examples to Android 4. For example, Chapter 6 of the first edition (Effective Java for Android) was merged into Chapter 3 and topics such as callbacks and overrides have been added.
