Android Application Development: Practical Guide and Easy Learning Tutorial

We consider that the fast and easiest way of learning is by examples. Every new concept is illustrated by a simple demo application. I this way the readers first “feel and see” the concept in a real running app even before they completely understand it. The full explanation and knowledge comes after that. Who This Book Is For This book is meant for both beginners and intermediate application developers who would like to come up quickly to Android development using the Android Development Tools Bundle. The main method is first to build a running example that illustrates some concept and next we explain the programming concept through that example. What You Will Learn • How to install, configure and to use the most popular ADT (Android Development Tools) for Android development • The basics of Android application development are explained systematic trough working applications. You may follow the explanations from the book or just download, install the project and run the application. • Useful tips and tricks for creating spectacular applications. • How to troubleshoot and debug Android applications using ADT. It includes a list of common errors and their resolutions. • The complete project published on Google Play and instructions how to prepare and publish your application. How To Read This Book It is structured in such a way so the learning process be intuitive and fast. The hyperlinks pointing to main concepts make navigation between different parts of the book easy.

我們認為學習的最快最簡單的方法是通過實例。每個新概念都通過一個簡單的示例應用程序來說明。這樣，讀者在完全理解之前就可以在一個真實運行的應用程序中“感受和看到”概念。完整的解釋和知識在此之後提供。

本書適用於初學者和中級應用程序開發人員，他們希望快速進入使用Android開發工具包進行Android開發。主要方法是首先構建一個演示應用程序來說明某個概念，然後通過該示例解釋編程概念。

你將學到什麼：
• 如何安裝、配置和使用最流行的ADT（Android開發工具）進行Android開發
• 通過工作應用程序系統地解釋Android應用程序開發的基礎知識。你可以按照書中的解釋，或者只需下載、安裝項目並運行應用程序。
• 創建出色應用程序的有用技巧和訣竅。
• 如何使用ADT進行故障排除和調試Android應用程序。其中包括常見錯誤及其解決方法的列表。
• 在Google Play上發布完整項目以及準備和發布應用程序的說明。

如何閱讀本書：
本書的結構使學習過程直觀且快速。指向主要概念的超鏈接使得在書的不同部分之間進行導航變得容易。讀者可以按照屏幕截圖進行逐步指示，或者下載並運行示例應用程序，然後再進行解釋。完成第一部分後，你可以跳過應用程序基礎知識，按照任意順序選擇主題並使用超鏈接進行快速參考。
