Android App Development | Mobile Apps Developers
Android Wireless Application Development has earned a reputation because of the most useful real-world guide to putting together robust, commercial-grade Android apps. Now, authors Lauren Darcey and Shane Conder have systematically revised and updated this guide for the newest Android SDK and tools updates. To accommodate their extensive new coverage, they’ve split the book into two leaner, cleaner volumes.
Volume II focuses on advanced techniques for the whole app development cycle, including design, coding, testing, debugging, and distribution. It covers hot topics starting from tablet development to protecting against piracy and demonstrates advanced techniques for everything from data integration and UI development to in-app billing. Every chapter has been thoroughly updated to reflect the newest SDKs, tools, and devices. The sample code has been completely overhauled and is out there for download on a companion website. Drawing on decades of in-the-trenches experience as professional mobile developers, the authors also provide even more tips and best practices for highly efficient development.
In just 24 sessions of 1 hour or less, find out how to create powerful apps for the world’s hottest mobile platform: Android 4.3. Using this book’s straightforward, step-by-step approach, you’ll build complete Android 4.3 apps from the bottom up as you master the talents you would like to style, develop, test, and publish powerful solutions. Extensively updated for Android’s newest features and tools, every lesson builds on what you’ve already learned, supplying you with a rock-solid foundation for real-world success! Note: This revamped remake may be a complete update of Sams Teach Yourself Android Application Development in 24 Hours (2nd Edition). We also welcome a replacement co-author to the combination, Carmen Delessio.
