Review

It is a great book for beginners who are new to either Android studio or android app development or both. The concepts are explained in plain words without any extra decoration. Examples are very useful to clarify those concepts. A few typos at some places and another issue(an incorrect object name was used), but since the content is so well explained that you can yourself follow and figure out how to rectify the mistake. Overall, I enjoyed reading it and can recommend to those who want to understand the basic concepts of Android app development - GoodReads review
