Beginning Android Programming with Android Studio, 4th Edition

This book is targeted for the beginning Android developer who wants to start developing applications using Google’s Android SDK. To truly benefit from this book, you should have some background in programming and at least be familiar with object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts. If you are totally new to Java—the language used for Android development—you might want to take a programming course in Java programming or grab one of many good books on Java programming. In my experience, if you already know C# or VB.NET, learning Java doesn’t require too much effort. If you’re already comfortable with C# or VB.NET, you should be comfortable just following along with the Try It Outs.
