Creating Dynamic UIs with Android Fragments

Left arrow icon Right arrow icon

Key benefits

  • From an eminent author comes a book that will help you create engaging apps that dynamically adapt to individual device characteristics
  • The only book that includes the latest fragment-oriented features and their role in Material design
  • This book provides code-intensive discussions and detailed examples that help you understand better and learn faster.

Description

Today’s users expect mobile apps to be dynamic and highly interactive, with rich navigation features. These same apps must look fantastic whether running on a medium-resolution smartphone or high-resolution tablet. Fragments provide the toolset we need to meet these user expectations by enabling us to build our applications out of adaptable components that take advantage of the rich capabilities of each individual device and automatically adapt to their differences. This book looks at the impact fragments have on Android UI design and their role in both simplifying many common UI challenges and in providing best practices for incorporating rich UI behaviors. We look closely at the roll of fragment transactions and how to work with the Android back stack. Leveraging this understanding, we explore several specialized fragment-related classes such as ListFragment and DialogFragment. We then go on to discuss how to implement rich navigation features such as swipe-based screen browsing, and the role of fragments when developing applications that take advantage of the latest aspects of Material Design. You will learn everything you need to provide dynamic, multi-screen UIs within a single activity, and the rich UI features demanded by today’s mobile users.

Who is this book for?

This book is for developers with a basic understanding of Android programming who would like to improve the appearance and usability of their applications by creating a more interactive user experience and dynamically adaptive UIs; providing better support for tablets and smartphones in a single app; and reducing the complexity of managing app UIs.

What you will learn

  • Learn the role and capabilities of fragments
  • Use Android Studio s fragment-oriented features
  • Create an app UI that works effectively on smartphones and tablets
  • Manage the creation and life cycle of fragments
  • Dynamically manage fragments using the FragmentTransaction class
  • Learn the application design for communicating between fragments
  • Leverage fragments when implementing applications that take advantage of the latest features of Material Design

This book is good because it teaches how and why to use Fragments, if you are beginner you will start to think more structured on the usability and appearance of your applications, you will start to work on better layouts and navigation, but if you are an Android developer with a big experience this book will help you develop more updated applications, Android has great API's but if you don't take advantage of this, your apps will not achieve that result you expect, fragments add a new world of possibilities, and this book is able to teach this for you, fragments are one topic that I have ignored in my first project app early days in beginning of Android development, when you don't use the correct tools, your project don't achieve what you expect, working in a team, this will help you think on the solutions more easily, the book cover more than I expect like integration of the fragments on an app using material design, this is awesome, the result is beautiful. I would recommend this book for you that want to make great android apps.

I got dumped into the deep end on Android development. My first professional Android project was a monolithic beast of an app that takes full advantage of fragments. However, following what was going on and figuring out best practices was hard to do from such a large code base. This book got me up to speed quickly and easily.

I ran into an issue, maybe a third of the way through the book, that didn't let me continue. I've contacted the publisher and am waiting.Sadly, the code is not available for this edition of the book, and all projects are dependent on what you did before, so I can't get past this issue while I wait.That said, before the problem: it's well written, concise, and does a heck of a job. Will amend my review if and when it's fixed.

If you are just beginning with Fragments this is a good solid overview, and you would probably feel good if you paid a couple bucks for it. For an advanced user this might help clarify one or two things, it did for me. But it is of no more help than that. Paying over $20 you are going to feel like you got ripped off.
