This is a step-by-step adviser that aims to accord even a amateur Android developer a acceptable butt of user-interface design, while alive through examples, diagrams, and screenshots to advertise the assorted widgets and accoutrement that the belvedere makes available.
This Book's appellation is "Android User Interface Development: Beginner's Guide" and I anticipate it holds accurate to it's promise. Just be assertive you aren't searching for an Android programming beginner's guide, because this book does not awning programming basics. It does awning all sorts of user interface considerations, and presents them in Packt's accepted cookbook style. The book follows a pattern, breadth the clairvoyant is alien to a topic, followed by the sections "Time for Action", "What Just Happened" and "Have a Go, Hero". "Time for Action" is a alternation of instructions that spell out absolutely what to do for a sample scenario. "What Just Happened" follows up with an account of why the clairvoyant was asked to assassinate the instructions. "Have a Go, Hero" is a breadth arduous the clairvoyant to extend the spoon-fed instructions by implementing a next-step challenge.
Readers who are accustomed with UI programming in addition ambiance (especially Java's Swing) will acquisition abounding concepts familiar. There's not abundant overview given, so readers new to the breadth will generally acquisition themselves accepting agreement at face amount and dispatch out on acceptance as to why they're getting asked to change some amount or abuse a configuration. The end after-effects of agilely afterward the instructions will be a alive UI that runs in the Android emulator, though, so the clairvoyant can see the after-effects of what they've done if not anon accept all the alive parts. Anniversary breadth is actual able-bodied contained, so it doesn't yield actual continued to chase the compound for a accustomed section.
Many UI considerations are covered-- accepting and acceptance user input, style, animation, etc. UI concepts are this books forte, and I'd accord it acceptable marks for analogue these for the Android platform. I'd accede this book a acceptable ability for any Android developer who's searching to accommodate anatomic and able interfaces.
This book, Android User Interface Development Beginner's Adviser book by Jason Morris, offers a actual acceptable easily on access to acquirements Android UI development. Intended for humans who are accustomed with Java but new to the Android environment, this book will yield you through a footfall by footfall body of several applications, anniversary illustrating a altered UI concept. The capacity are logically organized, the antecedent cipher for all of the applications is accessible from the publisher's website, and the examples are simple to follow.
As others accept acicular out, the book does not use Eclipse and the ADT Plugin. The examples and instructions use a argument editor and command band calls. While this is absolutely a accurate access to UI development, and helps accord a bigger compassionate of the basal code, I begin myself adulatory that at atomic some of the book was committed to application Google's recommended IDE. Had that been included this would accept becoming a abounding 5 stars. Regardless, the book is one of the arch guides for UI development that I accept read.
I acclaim this book for anyone starting out in Android development.
It's absolutely a abecedarian book. I bought it as quick advertence to areas I bare advice in. Unfortunately the way the book was structured fabricated it difficult. Anniversary affiliate has "time for action", "what just happened?" and "have a go hero" headings. This chaotic the table of capacity and fabricated it actual difficult to seek for topics.
The columnist aswell splits the cipher examples into abounding segments - answer anniversary articulation at a time. While conceptually this is a abundant idea, in beheading it fabricated actual difficult to see the accomplished code. Which in about-face fabricated it difficult to accept an overview abstraction of what's happening.
