About this title

From the Author

Android Programming Tutorials show you what you can do with Android, through a series of 28 individual exercises, giving you hands-on instruction in how to build sophisticated Android applications, using many of the technologies outlined in CommonsWare's other Android books. These exercises lead you through the basics of creating Android applications, all the way through many fun Android features like Internet access, location tracking, maps, integrated WebKit browsers, cameras, accelerometers, and much more. Full source code to all the exercise answers is available right on this page, to help you if you get stuck. Android Programming Tutorials makes an excellent companion volume to more traditional Android books that merely tell you what is possible.
The book has been battle-tested, used in the author's live Android training events, with the exercises put through their paces by hundreds of students.
