Android Programming for Beginners

 By: John Hortan, Packet Publication

So why isn't everybody an Android developer? Obviously, not everybody will share my enthusiasm for the thrill of creating software that can help people make their lives better, but I'm guessing that because you are reading this, you might. 

Unfortunately, for those who do, there is a kind of glass wall on the path of progress that frustrates many aspiring Android developers. 

Android uses Java to make its apps respond, think, and communicate with users. Every Android book, even those aimed at so-called beginners, assumes at least an intermediate level of Java and at most, a fairly advanced level. So, good to excellent Java knowledge is a prerequisite for learning Android.

Unfortunately, learning Java in a completely different context to Android can sometimes be a little dull, and some of what you learn is not directly transferable into the world of Android either. 

I think it makes more sense, is vastly more enjoyable, and is significantly quicker and more rewarding, to teach Java in a purely Android environment—to teach Java with the single overriding goal of learning to develop professional standard Android apps. And that's what this book is about.
