About this ebook

Android Programming Unleashed is the most comprehensive and technically sophisticated guide to best-practice Android development with today's powerful new versions of Android: 4.1 (Jelly Bean) and 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Offering the exceptional breadth and depth developers have come to expect from the Unleashed series, it covers everything programmers need to know to develop robust, high-performance Android apps that deliver a superior user experience.

Leading developer trainer Bintu Harwani begins with basic UI controls, then progresses to more advanced topics, finally covering how to develop feature rich Android applications that can access Internet-based services and store data. He illuminates each important SDK component through complete, self-contained code examples that show developers the most effective ways to build production-ready code. Coverage includes: understanding the modern Android platform from the developer's standpoint... using widgets, containers, resources, selection widgets, dialogs, and fragments... supporting actions and persistence... incorporating menus, ActionBars, content providers, and databases... integrating media and animations... using web, map, and other services... supporting communication via messaging, contacts, and emails... publishing Android apps, and much more.

please note that this book is restricted to up to 6 devices so far so good, except that google does not properly count devices, if you happen to be a developer you may need just like me several roms on your device. you will run short of installs very easy. each time you have to phone them and they may release the book, few days later this obviously is far from being acceptable solution? get an account with safari books online (this is what I did, after buying over 100/200 books from these guys...) sams should know better, send your 65 years old managers home! we're in the 21st century!
