Ebook: The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development

Want to learn how to develop applications for Android mobile devices? The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development covers what you need to know to get started on building Android applications everything from crafting GUIs to using GPS and accessing Web services, and more! Android is truly a platform, encompassing hundreds of classes beyond the traditional Java classes and open source components that ship with the SDK. Some Android books race through the material, trying to cover as much ground as possible in as few pages as possible. The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development is different. We have tried to cover the same material, but aimed more for people new to mobile development, perhaps even to Java itself. The book includes dozens of sample projects, ready to run with your copy of the SDK not just one huge project where you have difficulty finding the specific examples of the technique you are looking for.
