Android Programming, 2nd Ed (Big Nerd Ranch Guides)
Wednesday, 12 August 2015

Android is a tough platform to get started on. You need to know Java, the Android framework, the IDE, the architecture of a typical Android device and so on. For one book to guide you over so much territory is a difficult challenge.  Based on Big Nerd Ranch's popular Android Bootcamp course, this second edition includes coverage of Lollipop and material design. 

<ASIN:0134171454>

 

The previous edition of this book takes star billing in All About Android Books in our Programmers Bookshelf  section. Giving a rating of 4.9 out of 5, Mike James concluded "As long as you know Java reasonably well this is a good place to start an exploration of Android programming".
