Description

Do you want to make a career in programming but don’t know where to start? Do you have a great idea for an app but don't know how to make it a reality? Or are you worried that you’ll have to learn Java programming to become an Android developer? Look no further!

The book starts by introducing you to all the fundamental concepts of programming in an Android context, from the basics of Java to working with the Android API. You’ll learn with the help of examples that use up-to-date API classes and are created within Android Studio, the official Android development environment that helps supercharge your mobile application development process. After a crash course on the key programming concepts, you’ll explore Android programming and get to grips with creating applications with a professional-standard UI using fragments and storing user data with SQLite. This Android Java book also shows you how you can make your apps multilingual, draw on the screen with a finger, and work with graphics, sound, and animations. By the end of this Android programming book, you'll be ready to start building your own custom applications in Android and Java.

Android development is something that I have wanted to learn more about recently. I have experience with web development with React, and have dabbled with React Native for mobile. As a result, I began searching for more resources on mobile development, and I found this book. Android Programming for Beginners does two things very well: It goes through the several different topics required to know for creating native Android apps, and it teaches Java while doing so. As someone with a fair amount of previous experience with Java, most of the coding-side of this book was more a refresher for me, but I imagine that this would be very useful for new developers as well.The book goes over some important aspects of Android development in detail, including the Android Lifecycle, Design Patterns, Mutlithreading and Databases in Android. This all is on top of the many different ways that developers can compose UI and manage resources when developing an app. Overall, if you go through this book and work through the samples cover-to-cover, you would gain enough knowledge and experience to develop most of the common types of apps being popularly-used today.I am hoping to start working in the professional mobile app development space moving forward, and this book has been incredibly helpful for me to become comfortable with taking that next step. If you're a new developer, or an experienced one just looking to try something new, this book is worth serious consideration.

I really enjoyed this book. It’s a great way to learn android programming. The book walks you through how to set up Android Studio and how to set up the android emulator so that you can have a testing environment. It also walks you through how to add and manipulate the UI. This book takes you from A to Z and teaches you everything you would need to know to start coding and Android applications so you won’t be left in the dark. This book is great for beginners to cut their teeth on. It visits everything from variables and operators to loops and methods. Later on, you’ll learn about arrays so that you can handle large amounts of data. The Object-Oriented Programming section does a great job of showing you how to encapsulate your classes and variables to prevent them from being access unintentionally. You’ll also be walked through inheritance and Polymorphism and shown how to implement abstract classes and interfaces. Later in the book, you learn how to code necessary to draw on the canvas, save and store data, and much more. You will pretty much learn everything you need in this book to get started with android programming. This is a must-have for anyone looking to get started.

I’ve been wanting to get more into Android development and this book was a good introduction for me. I think even for new programmers it should be a fairly easy read so that’s great as well if you’re just getting into it!

Many Android books targeting beginners assume too much knowledge of Java, and this book addresses that concern from the very beginning. The author teaches all the Java topics a beginner would need in four multi-chapter apps and more than a dozen quick mini-apps!This book will teach you practically everything you need to know to begin your journey as an Android programmer. Here's a shortlist of the topics covered.- Layouts, Fragments- Common Views- Java Fundamentals (OOP, Variables, Operators, Expressions, etc.)- Memory Usage (Stack, Heap, Garbage Collection)- Localization- DatabasesIf you're interested in learning Android development with Java, definitely check this one out!
