No prior knowledge or experience of Material Design is required, but some familiarity with procedural languages such as Java and markup languages such as HTML will provide an advantage.  What You Will Learn  • Implement Material Design on both mobile and web platforms that work on older handsets and browsers • Design stylish layouts with the Material Theme • Create and manage cards, lists, and grids • Design and implement sliding drawers for seamless navigation • Coordinate components to work together • Animate widgets and create transitions and animation program flow • Use Polymer to bring Material Design to your web pages  In Detail  Google's Material Design language has taken the web development and design worlds by storm. Now available on many more platforms than Android, Material Design uses color, light, and movements to not only generate beautiful interfaces, but to provide intuitive navigation for the user. Learning Material Design will teach you the fundamental theories of Material Design using code samples to put these theories into practice. Focusing primarily on Android Studio, you'll create mobile interfaces using the most widely used and powerful material components, such as sliding drawers and floating action buttons. Each section will introduce the relevant Java classes and APIs required to implement these components. With the rules regarding structure, layout, iconography, and typography covered, we then move into animation and transition, possibly Material Design's most powerful concept, allowing complex hierarchies to be displayed simply and stylishly. With all the basic technologies and concepts mastered, the book concludes by showing you how these skills can be applied to other platforms, in particular web apps, using the powerful Polymer library.  Style and approach  Learning Material Design combines the theories behind material design with practical examples of how these can be implemented and further reinforcing the guidelines covering style, layout and structure.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51251556745489,"sku":"NIN9781785289811","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52540363571473,"sku":"NLS9781785289811","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1785289810.jpg?v=1751154384"},{"product_id":"android-design-patterns-and-best-practice-book-kyle-mew-9781786467218","title":"Android Design Patterns and Best Practice","description":"Create reliable, robust, and efficient Android apps with industry-standard design patterns About This Book Create efficient object interaction patterns for faster and more efficient Android development Get into efficient and fast app development and start making money from your android apps Implement industry-standard design patterns and best practices to reduce your app development time drastically Who This Book Is For This book is intended for Android developers who have some basic android development experience. Basic Java programming knowledge is a must to get the most out of this book. What You Will Learn Build a simple app and run it on real and emulated devices Explore the WYSIWYG and XML approaches to material design provided within Android Studio Detect user activities by using touch screen listeners, gesture detection, and reading sensors Apply transitions and shared elements to employ elegant animations and efficiently use the minimal screen space of mobile devices Develop apps that automatically apply the best layouts for different devices by using designated directories Socialize in the digital word by connecting your app to social media Make your apps available to the largest possible audience with the AppCompat support library In Detail Are you an Android developer with some experience under your belt? Are you wondering how the experts create efficient and good-looking apps? Then your wait will end with this book  We will teach you about different Android development patterns that will enable you to write clean code and make your app stand out from the crowd. The book starts by introducing the Android development environment and exploring the support libraries. You will gradually explore the different design and layout patterns and get to know the best practices of how to use them together. Then you'll then develop an application that will help you grasp activities, services, and broadcasts and their roles in Android development. Moving on, you will add user-detecting classes and APIs such as gesture detection, touch screen listeners, and sensors to your app. You will also learn to adapt your app to run on tablets and other devices and platforms, including Android Wear, auto, and TV.

About This Book  • Use Android Studio not just as an IDE but as a complete testing and build solution • Produce customized APKs with Gradle to suit various versions of an app, such as test versions and free versions of an otherwise paid app. • Explore all aspects of UI development and testing using working XML and Java examples. • Learn seamless migration from Eclipse and other development platforms to Android Studio.  Who This Book Is For  This book targets developers, with experience of developing for Android, who are new to Android Studio or wish to migrate from another IDE such as Eclipse. This book will show you how to get the utmost from this powerful tool.  What You Will Learn  • Create styles, themes, and material designs • Set up, configure, and run virtual devices using the AVD manager • Improve the design of your application using support libraries • Learn about GitHub libraries • Use emulators to design layouts for a wide variety of devices, including wearables. • Improve application performance in terms of memory, speed, and power usage  In Detail  Android Studio is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) designed for developing Android apps. As with most development processes, Android keeps resources and logic nicely separated, and so this book covers the management of imagery and other resources, and the development and testing tools provided by the IDE. After introducing the software, the book moves straight into UI development using the sophisticated, WYSIWYG layout editor and XML code to design and test complex interfaces for a wide variety of screen configurations. With activity design covered, the book continues to guide the reader through application logic development, exploring the latest APIs provided by the SDK. Each topic will be demonstrated by working code samples that can be run on a device or emulator. One of Android Studio's greatest features is the large number of third-party plugins available for it, and throughout the book we will be exploring the most useful of these, along with samples and libraries that can be found on GitHub. The final module of the book deals with the final stages of development: building and distribution. The book concludes by taking the reader through the registration and publication processes required by Google. By the time you have finished the book, you will be able to build faster, smoother, and error-free Android applications, in less time and with fewer complications than you ever thought possible.  Style and approach  This is a step-by-step guide with examples demonstrating how Android Studio can be used as a complete solution for developing, testing, and deploying apps from start to finish.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52482901082385,"sku":"NLS9781786467447","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52754786713873,"sku":"NIN9781786467447","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781786467447.jpg?v=1759853912"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-kyle-mew.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
