Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Contains good explanations about examples, plenty code ready to use, chapters are well divided, doing and showing exact what the topic says, no examples that you have to go implementing on it each chapter. Cover 100% of Android 2.0 and probably 95% of 2.2 version. It really helped me to start developing applications for Android platform.
Explanations start from download the SDK, Eclipse, plugins and how to setup everything, has the basic things as Activity classes, how to create all sort of Android .xml files, and the advanced knowledge as how works with Threads, that's in similar way of Java though the implementations is different, covers everything that will will need to develop all sort of applications to Android. Everything full of very useful examples.
It's worth the price.
