Using Android: Getting started tutorial and advanced user guide.
Using Android teaches you how to better use Google’s Android Operating system.
Android is much more than an operating system for mobile devices. It is an integral part of the Google ecosystem which gives you access to a myriad of Google services that can enrich your life. If you choose to use this functionality you will find a pretty neatly integrated and fast-developing ecosystem that gives you more useful applications than most people will ever use.
Or you can choose to keep it simple and just use the basics. This purpose of this book is to make you aware of what is possible, to read about what your device can do and to be aware of the possibilities.
To begin with this book gives you a Quick Start to answer those initial questions and get you up and running fast. Then we cover the important Core Applications in detail, we explore the User Interface and learn how to personalize your device with wallpapers and widgets. Finally we delve into all the Settings.
The subject matter of this book is vast but I have condensed it down to the essence of what is really important for you to know. To ensure you get maximum value this book is purposely kept to a manageable length and illustrated with many color screen shots.
I recommend that you carefully read and understand only what is important to you now, then skim through the rest of the book letting your brain gently absorb what is written. Since this is an e-book, you can keep it on your device as a reference and when the time is right come back for more details

Excellent overview of the basics
I found this book helpful in making the transition from iPhone's to Android. It also has good tips that helped me teach my wife to use her new oneplus one.
