Arrivato intorno a pagina 160 ho chiuso l'ebook e ordinato il libro cartaceo.

E` semplicemente troppo pieno di trucchi più o meno piccoli, utili in mille occasioni. Conto sul fatto che anche le altre 500 pagine abbiano lo stesso livello.

Un libro da tenere sempre di fianco alla tastiera.

This book has a lot of good examples of how to do some basic App development tasks. Take a photo, record Video, and many other interesting tidbits.

However by covering a lot of material, it avoids going into any depth, and you would clearly need "learn Android" type book in addition to this one, as well as the online reference, to make real progress.

This book was a total waste of time. Content was total crap. "Problem: Learning the Java Language Solution: a bunch of links to Java-docs"

[Marcus Laurén · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very easy to follow with great snippets for you to build upon. Some approaches are outdated though, so it is definitely of value to consult the online android documentation, both on Java and Kotlin.

Content is basic, it is helpfull for beginner. Many good solutions to apply.

I recommend artificial reading for intermediate Android developers. It gives you a general perspective of what comes and goes around in the Android environment.

[Ivo Stoykov]

scattered contents. Many basic topics that might be used as a (short) reference.

Could be better, not too bad book.
