This book is great to get your hands dirty with some android aipplcation development. However; this book is intended for an audience who is familiar with that of the android programming structure and Java in general. The book spans over a huge range of topics, which will be incredibly useful to that of an android developer who’s looking for a little bit more advanced topics that are available in the Android API. I highly recommend this book to those who have already gotten there hands dirty with the basics of android and are yearning for more. This book will help you get into the topics that may help make your aipplcation transition from the Basic level to the Great level. Of course the only way to learn coding is through practice and example. The author went through a lot of trouble to organize the code in such a way that it can be easily sifted through and used. Shawn (The author) does a great job of explaining the various intricate parts that are necessary to understand, as well as keep it on a terra-firma level. Being that this book was written by only one author, it helps it maintain a stable environment, as with some books introducing a bunch of authors can sometimes lead to an uneven conversation of dialog that the reader undergoes with the book. I have a large collection of android book and I will be coming to this book when I want to implement something advanced to make my app better. However, this does not assume that everything in the book is perfect, there will be problems that can only be solved as a developer, but from the examples I looked through and used, I did not have many problems. If you are in need of some advanced topics of android or just want to see them in action, I highly recommend you pick up this book immediately!
