Android Apps for Absolute Beginners by Wallace Jackson is a clear, straightforward guide perfect for those new to Android development. With simple explanations and practical examples, it’s great for getting started. However, it’s somewhat dated and might not cover the latest Android features. Ideal as an entry-level resource but may require additional materials for advanced learning. also read how to earn cred coins

Beyond explaining the basics of XML and its relation to Android development, this book isn't extremely useful. Don't expect to be able to build a functional application based on knowledge from this book.

Worth reading, also do check the blackmart app to get all the apps that are available on the official play store https://blackmartapk.co/

Android Apps for Absolute Beginners is a clear, step-by-step guide perfect for those new to Android development. It covers the basics of app creation and Android Studio, making it a great starting point.

While it doesn’t teach ADB directly, it lays the groundwork needed to understand tools like those in TechBoltify’s Update from ADB Guide2QR. Once comfortable with the basics, readers can easily transition to using ADB for updates or system management.

Doesn't add much to knowledge. While grammatically correct, his writing is rather convoluted like using multiple which in a sentence. In terms of contents, it focuses more on media components instead of UI or coding.

Little basic after reading beginning Java for Android, ready to go to Book 2, designing games. However, we will see how much time is allowed.

I picked this up with the thought that it might be too basic, but it would be a good way to make sure I didn't have any gaps in my Android education. Unfortunately it was much more basic than I expected and I probably would've been better off going straight to the Beginning Android book.

Aside from that, this book is good for someone who's fairly new to Java, but has some programming background. It walks you through setting up Java and Eclipse and does a good job of explaining the examples line-by-line, but it doesn't explain general basics like what a for loop or if statement are.
