| Summary |
Android in Practice is a treasure trove of Android goodness, with over 90 tested, ready-to-use techniques including complete end-to-end example applications and practical tips for real world mobile application developers. Written by real world Android developers, this book addresses the trickiest questions raised in forums and mailing lists. Using an easy-to-follow problem/solution/discussion format, it dives into important topics not covered in other Android books, like advanced drawing and graphics, testing and instrumentation, building and deploying applications, using alternative languages, and native development. This is a book about developing applications for the Android platform, from key components and application basics to advanced techniques, testing, building, project management, and more. We hope this book will appeal to Android developers of varying skill levels, from beginner to advanced; Android testers; and managers and team leaders looking to better understand Android development. |
