This was a great book on Android app development.
I ended up getting a lot out of the book and actually got going on some app development myself!
The examples were easy to understand and I enjoyed it.
I would recommend for devs who want to learn about Android development.
I actually already have some Android experience, but wanted some assistance learning the ins-and-outs of Android Studio, which helped.
4.1/5

Not as simple to follow as other programming books I have read.
Maybe it is in the nature of the way programs are written for phones, but even the simplest ones are difficult to follow and hard to program
