Build Android Apps That Are Stunningly Attractive, Functional, and Intuitive
In today’s crowded Android marketplace, it’s more important than ever to differentiate your apps. Great design is the best way to do that. Now, leading Android app design expert Ian G. Clifton shows you how to make your apps come alive and how to deliver apps that users will want, love, and buy!

Clifton shows how to create effective designs, organize them into Android components, and move gracefully from idea, to wireframe, to comp, to finished app. You’ll learn how to bring your own voice, personality, and style to your app designs; how to leverage advanced drawing techniques such as PorterDuff compositing; how to test designs on diverse Android devices; and much more.
Android User Interface Design details each step of the design and development process and contains extensive downloadable sample code, including complete finished apps.
One step at a time, this guide helps you bridge the gap between Android developers and designers so you can work with colleagues to create world-class app designs...or do it yourself!

Excellent Android design/development book that clearly explains each topic and includes sample code. Will be implementing some of the concepts explained in the book into my existing applications, as well as, future applications that I develop.

Not a terrible book to read if you are new to app (especially Android app development) but I've hoped to see more examples on do's and don'ts when creating an android app.

The book covers some of the basic concepts regarding Android UI. I my opinion it is most suitable for people who are fairly new to this topic.

Отличная книга для Android-разработчиков. Рассказывается о проектировании и реализации пользовательского интерфейса приложения. При этом затрагиваются некоторые редко упоминаемые аспекты. Рекомендую.
