The book starts by introducing the Android development environment and exploring the support libraries. You will gradually explore the different design and layout patterns and get to know the best practices of how to use them together. Then you’ll then develop an application that will help you grasp activities, services, and broadcasts and their roles in Android development. Moving on, you will add user-detecting classes and APIs such as gesture detection, touch screen listeners, and sensors to your app. You will also learn to adapt your app to run on tablets and other devices and platforms, including Android Wear, auto, and TV. Finally, you will see how to connect your app to social media and explore deployment patterns as well as the best publishing and monetizing practices.

About the Reviewer

Victor Albertos has been developing Android apps for 5 years. During this time, he had the chance to explore several approaches to achieve maintainable and testable code. From an imperative style, gradually he has switch to a more declarative one, applying concepts and theories from functional languages such as Haskell to the Android and Java ecosystem.

He is an active open source contributor, sharing with the Android community useful libraries, mainly focused on reactive programming.

Currently he is working as an Android architect at Sabadell Bank.

I would like to thank to my family for their constant support, my few friends for being always there, and specially to Inma, who I deeply love.
