Advanced Android Application Development Reviews

This new edition of Advanced Android (TM) Application Development updates the definitive reference for Android developers, covering all major revisions of Android, including Android L. Whether you're just getting started, or need to brush up on the latest features of Android, this should be the first book you reach for. -Ray Rischpater, senior software engineer, Microsoft This is the most comprehensive reference for programming Android. I still turn to it when I need to learn about a topic I am not familiar with. -Douglas Jones, senior software engineer, Fullpower Technologies The problem with many Android development titles is that they either assume the developer is completely new to development or is already an expert. Advanced Android (TM) Application Development, Fourth Edition, cuts the fluff and gets to the need to know of modern Android development. -Phil Dutson, solution architect for mobile and UX, ICON Health & Fitness Advanced Android (TM) Application Development, Fourth Edition, is an excellent guide for software developers, quality assurance personnel, and project managers who want to learn to plan, develop, and manage professional Android applications. The book explains several advanced Android topics through step-by-step running examples. The authors have done a great job explaining various Android APIs for threading, networking, location-based services, hardware sensors, animation, graphics, and more. This book is a classic investment. -B.M. Harwani, author, The Android (TM) Tablet Developer's Cookbook
