What does it take to build well-engineered Android applications? Explore Android''s core building blocks and APIs in depth with this authoritative guide, and learn how to create compelling apps that work on a full range of Android devices. You''ll work with proven approaches to app design and implementation—including application frameworks that you can use as a starting point for your own projects.

Delve into sensors, native development, 3D graphics, and many other topics, and discover how to build apps on the platform of your choice. If you''re an intermediate to advanced programmer, you''ll learn how to make great Android apps.

Get thoroughly up to speed on Android programming, and learn how to create up-to-date user experiences for both handsets and tablets. With this book''s extensively revised second edition, you''ll focus on Android tools and programming essentials, including best practices for using Android 4 APIs. If you''re experienced with Java or Objective-C, you''ll gain the knowledge necessary for building well-engineered applications.

Programming Android is organized into four parts:

This updated edition of Programming Android focuses on the knowledge and developer priorities that are essential for successful Android development projects.

Developing applications for the Android mobile operating system can seem daunting, particularly if it requires learning a new programming language: Kotlin, now Androidâ??s officialdevelopment language. With this practical book, Android developers will learn how to make the transition from Java to Kotlin, including how Kotlin provides a true advantage for gaining control over asynchronous computations.

Authors Pierre-Olivier Laurence, Amanda Hinchman-Dominguez, G. Blake Meike, and Mike Dunn explore implementations of the most common tasks in native Android development, and show you how Kotlin can help you solve concurrency problems. With a focus on structured concurrency, a new asynchronous programming paradigm, this book will guide you through one of Kotlin''s most powerful constructs, coroutines.
