This is a great UX book for mobile developers. The book covers Android 4.x design patterns, but even if it's not Lollilop is a fantastic read . It even has a chapter focused on Mobile Banking Mobile UX patterns. So recommended for all Mobile and Android developers.

might be useful to someone who switches to Android from other platforms

Un buon manuale da tenere sottomano, ed eventualmente rileggere (o almeno scorrere) ogni tanto per rinfrescarsi i concetti.

Soprattutto la selezione di "antipattern" è molto utile perché spiega il motivo per cui sono antipattern.

Tra i difetti, un paio di quelli che definisce pattern io li definirei antipattern.

Inoltre, soprattutto per i pattern di ricerca, alcuni sono troppo simili tra loro. Io li avrei raggruppati in un singolo pattern.

Had a brain fart and thought it was going to be about designing and coding patterns for android, not design design.

Looks very pragmatic though, probably worth going through if you're designing.

Доста концентрирано представяне на dos&donts от дизайн гледна точка. На мен ми беше полезна.

Pretty terrible and dated. Design patterns is a misnomer. Author just compares and contrasts the UX of various apps.

Meh. Basic. Nothing you cannot learn using an Android device two days.
