Customer support

Now that you are the proud owner of a Packt book, we have a number of things to help you to get the most from your purchase.

Downloading the example code

You can download the example code files from your account at http://www.packtpub.com for all the Packt Publishing books you have purchased. If you purchased this book elsewhere, you can visit http://www.packtpub.com/support and register to have the files e-mailed directly to you.

All the finished code and resources for every one of the projects in this book can be found in the download bundle in a folder named after the chapter number for example Chapter 1, Chapter 2, and so on. Furthermore inside each of these folders you will find a sub-folder with the name of the app. Then as you would expect, within this folder will be the code files and the resources for that app. And finally, the resources and code files are further sub divided into folder names that correspond to their correct place within a project. So for example, to explore the completed files for the project in Chapter 2, Java – First Contact you would look in Chapter 2/Hello Android. In there you will find code files and resources in folders named java and layout. As we learn about and use more resource types, so the number of subfolders within the application folder in the download bundle will grow. Our Android Studio projects actually contain dozens of files and folders. The download bundle will only contain the files and folders we need to edit, or that are being discussed. We will take a closer look at the structure of an Android project in the second chapter.

Downloading the color images of this book

We also provide you with a PDF file that has color images of the screenshots/diagrams used in this book. The color images will help you better understand the changes in the output. You can download this file from https://www.packtpub.com/sites/default/files/downloads/AndroidProgrammingforBeginners_ColoredImages.pdf.
