Book Description

This book teaches you how to turn your ideas into successful apps that everyone will talk about, love, and share. With Agile tools and techniques, any developer can get a chunk of the Android pie!

Most books about Android programming are written for novices and there are only a few books targeting intermediate to advanced Android programmers.

This book is targeted at experienced software developers who are familiar with at least one Object Oriented Programming (OOP) language, such as C++, C#, or Java. You should also have some basic understanding of source code control (preferably Git), shell scripting and Linux (if you know how to open a command shell, you will do great).

This book teaches you everything you need to know to develop top-quality apps and will take you to the next level with Android.

To get the most from this book, you should already have read one or more entry-level books about Android programming, and you should already have released one or more Android apps to Google Play.

Agile practices have made major inroads in Java development, however it's very unusual to see something as basic as unit testing on an Android project. Done correctly, Agile development results in a significant increase in development efficiency and a reduction in the number of defects. Google have finally moved away from JUnit 3 and the developer can now do the more commonly accepted JUnit 4 tests in Android Studio.

• GUI Design for Android Apps (Ryan Cohen, et al)

  This book is the perfect - and concise - introduction for mobile app developers and designers. Through easy-to-follow tutorials, code samples, and case studies, the book shows the must-know principles for user-interface design for Android apps.

• Exploring Android (Mark L. Murphy)

  This book has you build an app from the beginning. Whereas traditional programming guides are focused on breadth and depth, this book is focused on "hands-on" - provides step-by-step instructions for building the app.

• O'Reilly® RxJava for Android App Development (K. Matt Dupree)

  This book introduces you to RxJava basics and then uses a real-world scenario to demonstrate how this library makes quick work of tasks that can often become messy and inflexible.

• CodePath Android Cliffnotes

  We have Android guides for everyone whether you are a beginner, intermediate or expert. We don't waste time with the "theoretical approach" you might get from a book. We cover exactly the things we use every day as we are developing apps for contracts.

• Reactive Programming on Android with RxJava (C. Arriola, et al)

  This book is a guide for experienced Android developers looking to learn about reactive programming using RxJava, the Java implementation of ReactiveX. It is written in a clear and concise way with many Android-specific examples.

• Firebase Essentials - Android Edition (Neil Smyth)

  This book provides everything you need to successfully integrate Firebase cloud features into your Android apps. The book is organized into chapter groups that focus on specific Firebase features, with each topic area consisting of a detailed overview followed by tutorial style examples that put theory into practice.

• Android on x86: Optimizing for Intel Architecture

  This book is a one-stop reference guide to mindful programming and the unique challenges and opportunities that arise from x86 architectures. It compiles the best practices and procedures associated with application development.

• The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development (Mark Murphy)

  It tries to cover as much material as possible, but aimed more for people new to mobile development. It includes dozens of sample projects - not just one huge project where you have difficulty finding the specific examples of the technique you are looking for.

• GraphQL and Android (Mark L. Murphy)

  GraphQL is a rapidly-ascending alternative to REST for implementing Web services. This book helps you understand what GraphQL is and how to communicate with a GraphQL server, both in terms of GraphQL and Android code for reaching those servers.

• Android Developer Fundamentals Course – Practicals

  It prepares you to take the exam for the Associate Android Developer Certification. You learn basic Android programming concepts and build a variety of apps, starting with Hello World and working your way up to apps that use content providers and loaders.

• Android Programming Tutorials (Mark L. Murphy)

  This book shows you what you can do with Android, through a series of 40 individual exercises. It gives you hands-on instruction in how to build sophisticated Android applications, using many of the technologies outlined in other Android books.

• Android Programming Succinctly (Ryan Hodson)

  This book provides a useful overview of the Android application lifecycle. Topics ranging from creating a UI to adding widgets and embedding fragments are covered, and it also provides plenty of links to Android documentation along the way.

• Android Development Tutorials (Vogella, et al)

  They give you hands-on instruction in how to build sophisticated Android applications, using many of the technologies outlined in other Android books. It makes an excellent companion to more traditional Android books that merely tell you what is possible.

• Agile Principles, Patterns, and Practices in C# (Robert Martin)

  This book presents a series of case studies illustrating the fundamentals of Agile development and Agile design, and moves quickly from UML models to real C# code.
