I'm using the SQLite Dband trying to figure out how to present the info. This book has been great in explaining and workingthrough the use of the Master Detail view. The next thing that I recommend is not to use the sample projectsfrom the author's site. At least for me, if I type in the changes from a base line project, the information sticksa lot better. Now, I'm reviewing the structure of an Android app, and a lot more of what is presented in making sense.-------I'm just starting Android development, yet I have been programing for a long time, over 30 years.I missed the Eclipse phase of Android development, and a lot of books are Eclipse centric.This book is ADS centric, and it gives great explanations about Android at the same time.I really cannot recommend it enough.As usual I have been cruising around the web and have bought a number of books (with high hopes).This is really the one to get, don't waste your time and/or money on the other ones.The Android developer resource site is great, but (always a but) the people that write have a great deal of experience,and there are a lot of assumptions in their training. Don't get me wrong, this is still the site I go to for references.So, if you're getting started with Android development this is where you should start. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good introduction to Android Studio and Android programming, but lacks coverage of specific APIs. *by W***R on May 11, 2015* This book has a very extensive coverage of the Android Studio IDE, and a very good introduction on the various models, ideas and concepts that you need to apply when developing Android applications. It takes a few hours to read through the first dozen or so units and you really need to take this time in order to understand the matter. But the creating the structure of your application comes easy.What is lacking, and hence just four stars, is the same in-depth coverage of the APIs that you will likely need in your app. Saving/retrieving files, network communications and dealing with preferences are just some of the things I found missing. Fortunately once you've got the structure of your application sorted, you'll find hundreds of examples of these on the internet. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book *by K***S on March 31, 2015* I have a solid background in C# programming (no Java though) and was looking for a book to help me learn Android programming and specifically using Android Studio. I found this to be the perfect book for me. It's one of the few programming books I've read that I had trouble putting down. I kept wanting to move on to the next topic.I'd never used Android Studio and this book provides a great tutorial on it.This book is very well written with clear, excellent examples. I can't stress enough how helpful it is to have a book like this where the sample code is so well presented. When a code sample is presented and then later the author wants you to add or modify that code, the code is repeated and the changes/additions are in boldface. It's dead simple to see what you are changing and that helps you focus on why you are doing it and the concepts you are learning.If you have some programming experience and want to get into Android programming, I highly recommend this book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/4135343-android-studio-development-essentials-android-5-edition-2nd-edition](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/4135343-android-studio-development-essentials-android-5-edition-2nd-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
