What will you learn from this book?
If you have an idea for a killer Android app, this fully revised and updated edition will get you up and running in a jiffy. You'll go beyond syntax and how-to manuals and learn how to think like a great Android developer. This hands-on book teaches you everything from designing layouts to the latest features of Android Jetpack, including the Room persistence library, LiveData and the Navigation component. It's like having an experienced Android developer sitting right next to you! If you have some Kotlin know-how, you're ready to get started.
Why does this book look so different?
