Programming an Android app is an attractive proposition. Android increasingly dominates the global smartphone market, meaning many potential users. The tools you need to create an app are free to download and use and you don’t need anyone's permission to get started. The only difficulty is that the Android is a tough system to master. It is easy enough to get started as Android Studio will build you a Hello World app in a few minutes, but what you do next is more difficult and to create a good app you need a feel for how the system works and its limitations.
Android Programming In Java: Starting With An App not only shows you how common tasks are done in Android Studio 3, but also explains why they are done in a particular way. Although Android development seems confusing at first, it has patterns which mean that having done something once you can generalize the approach to components you haven’t previously encountered.
There are plenty of examples in this book but they are deliberately simple, stripped down to let you see what is essential. It isn’t a complete treatment of everything Android. Instead it focuses on the things you need to know to write an app, in particular creating the user interface (UI) because this is what you spend most of your time working on even if the app in question is sophisticated. In this book you will find out how to build an app with a single Activity and a UI, a good foundation for further Android programming.
This book is at an introductory level as far as Android development goes, however it isn’t for the complete beginner. It is assumed that you can program, but not necessarily in Java, which is arguably the most important of all today’s programming languages and the original language of Android. Java is a very standard object-oriented language and with the help of comments that point out where it is significantly different you should find it easy to pick up as you go along. Finally the development tool used is the latest version of Android Studio because it doesn’t make sense not to use it or to use anything else.
