Want to learn how to develop Android apps? Then dont miss our new book: Murachs Android Programming (2nd Edition). It teaches you how to develop high-quality apps like the ones you can find in the Google Play store. The only prerequisite is a basic knowledge of Java. Everything else, including software installation, is covered.

To start, this book shows the Android Studio and Java skills you need to develop a Tip Calculator app for a smartphone or tablet. Then, it expands upon this app to show must-have Android skills such as working with layouts, widgets, events, themes, styles, menus, preferences, and fragments. Next, this book presents two more apps that illustrate Android skills programmers use every day, such as working with threads, files, adapters, intents, services, notifications, broadcast receivers, SQLite databases, content providers, and app widgets. Finally, this book presents an app that uses the Google Maps API and shows you how to submit your finished apps to the Google Play store.

Reviews for Murach's Android Programming

"""I like the fact that the book approaches the subject by using example apps as the theme of study, and working through the skills incrementally from easy to difficult. These case-study apps are complete apps by themselves and are worthy of being in the Android app stores."" Jason Ong, ASP.NET World"
