This review may be a little premature, since I'm only 70 pages into this book of 753 pages. However, what I've seen so far is that the author has taken care to write in a very clear and thorough way. Things are explained well, and in an easy to understand manner. I'm not ever left with the thought of "What the hell was meant by that?" or, "Doesn't the author know that this statement can be interpreted in more than one way?", or worse yet, "Didn't they have anyone proof-read this book before they published it?" These are thoughts that I get in the vast majority of books I read on technical topics like this, but not this one. My thanks to the author, Neil Smyth, for restoring a little bit of faith in the human race. Once I have had an opportunity to read through more of this text, I hope to come back and update this review with my feelings at that time. I hope they continue to report that the rest of the book is as good as the first 70 pages. By the way, I like this book so much that I plan on obtaining the Kotlin edition of this same book.

Gostei muito da didática do livro. Ensina de forma fluída, diferentes de alguns outros livros que chega a ser um pouco 'maçante'.

Only downside to a book like this (version 3,5) is that in the few months I have owned it, we are now on 4.0 - it seems dead trees are not the best medium for conveying knowledge. Oh but - it comes with a downloadable PDF version too.

I was looking for a book that did more than treat Android development as a coding tutorial. I wanted something that would help me understand how Android hangs together, where I should be plugging in, what design patterns I can use and which ones I should avoid, how different patterns have been expanded by Android itself.This book delivers on that in spades. The result is that you spend quite a lot of time early in the book needing to understand the theory and architecture. The author does a good job of walking you through the architecture and then illustrating how it applies with solid code examples.That said, there are tons of examples where the writing style is kind of annoying. Statements starting with "Clearly..." when it is not clear, or "... is comprised of..." when the appropriate English is "... consists of..." show a lack of good editorial support.With decades of Java/C#/C++ experience writing code with J2EE, Spring, Eclipse RCP, Entity Framework, MFC, RogueWave and other major API's, I knew I needed something that was going to give me an idea of how to work with rather than against Android. This book does that well.I bought this book and then realized I had updated to Android Studio 3.6. There are some significant differences in the UI, and some of the templates have been updated. I had enough background to work through that, but it will make for a gap for someone who is new to Android Studio.All said, this book is not a light read. You need to take the time to read it and try it and write the sample code yourself to understand it. If you are willing to invest the time, it is well worth the effort. Very solid book to learn from.

What happens if an Early Access Course is cancelled? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Projects are rarely cancelled, but sometimes it's unavoidable. If an Early Access course is cancelled or excessively delayed, you can exchange your purchase for another course. For further details, please contact us here.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team. 

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

Early Access is currently only available as a PDF or through our online reader. As we make changes or add new chapters, the files in your Packt account will be updated so you can download them again or view them online immediately.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
