The author does a very decent job of making it easy to understand the various intricacies of Android app development for both beginners and professionals. Even though there was not much detail regarding the UI design as I would have liked, the book touches up on other aspects like Services, Databases and Sockets pretty well.
The readability is good and examples used fulfill the needs of each topic taken up.
I've referred quite a few books for Android, I think this is one which definitely is a...

A nice book for those entering the world of Android app programming. This book takes us through the tour of Ice cream Sandwich.
(note: There are other similarly titled for previous version too, but not recommended as they are obsolete.)
This book designed for Beginner to Advanced users. The first 2 chapters help to get onboard with Android. Chapter 3 onward basics of Android programming is covered.
(note: The book expects us to have some basic working knowledge of Java language).

I have an Indian Edition purchased from Sapna Book. I read 2 chapters and found it a good book to read. I had basic knowledge of creating android app (Hello World kind). I have joined classes for this an year back. I suggest be careful while joining classes (4 full days) in Bangalore. Mostly you will get cheated.

This book would be good companion for beginners. Read at many places that it is good for beginners and intermediate alike. I ...

Very useful if you have just started learning about android application development, It has enough content that one can develop his own sample applications. There are code snippets for every functionality explained in this book. Also not to forget it comes at very good selling price for 350 rupees when I ordered.

This book is the latest edition of the earlier book with a similar title, I assume. It covers Android Development in great detail. This book is based on a specific case study project. I like this approach since the case study application, called "Earthquake!", can be installed on your device first and start reading through the book. At every pitstops in the book, you see what are you reading about, on the phone, literally! :) Then you get your PC and do that particular feature with your own t...

First, as usual very happy with Flipkart's fastest delivery, i have ordered things from almost every website which delivers in India but none could beat Flipkart. Kudos!
About the book, this book is in one word, "Complete".
Either you are a novice programmer, planning to learn android for yourself or looking for a reference book, this book literally does both.
Starting from installing the Android SDK, everything is written in well structured way.
The code snippets given along with the theory...

I purchased this week last week, and go trough its UI part. It is pretty well written with nice examples.Only one things that bother me so far is that they provided online links for code snippet but after browsing I got that code is not updated.
Hope they will update code.
