"Exploring Android" Version 0.1 Released

As I did in 2018, with
Android���s Architecture Components and
GraphQL and Android, I am continuing to release new books where
the subject matter is ���bigger than a breadbox���.

I have offered hands-on tutorials for building an Android app for ~9 years.
Originally, they were in a book titled Android Programming Tutorials. They then
got folded into
The Busy Coder���s Guide to Android Development. But, in general, I have
rewritten the tutorials from scratch every couple of years, to better reflect
the current approaches for building Android apps.

Exploring Android is the latest rewrite, pulling the tutorials back
out into their own book. Partially, they are in their own book to make
The Busy Coder���s Guide to Android Development smaller. But mostly,
they are in their own book because, eventually, they will incorporate the
Architecture Components as well.

I say ���eventually��� because the app created in this 0.1 release is pure ���glassware���, focusing on getting
the core UI set up. Version 0.2 will start to introduce the Architecture Components,
including Room for saving our data.
In the end, Exploring Android will create an app that looks a lot
like the Model-View-Intent to-do app introduced in
Android���s Architecture Components.

Stay tuned to this blog,
the @CommonsWare Twitter feed, etc. for
announcements about updates.

This is a brand-new book release, and so there may be more problems than normal
��� contact me if you encounter any issues.
