The Deitels' App-Driven, Live Code Approach is simply the best way to master Android programming! The Deitels teach Android programming through sixteen complete, working Android Apps. Each chapter presents new concepts through a single App. The authors first discuss what the App does, show screen shots, test drive the App, and present an overview of the technologies and architecture used to build it. Next, the authors walk through building the App, presenting complete code and providing a detailed "Live Code" walkthrough. As part of the code walkthrough, they discuss essential programming concepts, and demonstrate the functionality of relevant Android 2.x APIs. Readers will gain hands-on experience with a wide spectrum of essential Android APIs. The book also has an extensive introduction to programming using the Java language, making this book appropriate for Java courses that want to add an app-programming flavor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thanks for the great
Reviewed in the United States on 5 December 2014

5 stars to any technical book author who understands and act upon what is beneficial for the user of the book. I mention user because I won't buy a programming book just to read it. I need examples to follow. These examples should work and connected to the real world. Even though some would consider the examples are too old but the techniques I learned from this book are never old.
A word of advice, this book will not teach you how to program. You must be acquainted with some programming language preferably Java before you can delve in.
Thanks for the great effort

3.0 out of 5 stars Outdated as other Android books
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 June 2016

The books in Deitel and Deitel's How to Program series are always very good. However, all authors have the same problem with Android: The development environment changes so quickly and extensively that the books are outdated on the day they are published. It is a pity that Windows Phone has not gained more popularity as Microsoft's Visual Studio is a coder's heaven compared to Eclipse/Android SDK or Android Studio.

1.0 out of 5 stars If there were negative stars allowed...
Reviewed in the United States on 15 December 2013

This book is simply terrible. Other reviewers have mentioned that it is outdated, and I can cut them a little bit of slack for that, Android has been a fast-evolving OS and it doesn't take long for printed materials on the subject to become outdated. Knowing this, one would expect some sort of update from the publisher- the Twitter API change was not a huge deal, easy enough to adapt the example app over to the new API, but the Google maps API change rendered the RouteTracker app worthless and it should be the publishers responsibility to port their example code over to the new API and provide it on their site. In general the book did a very poor job of explaining what you were doing, just blocks of code with vague documentation. It looks like they are releasing a new version of this book which will probably contain all of the corrections and additions that should have been provided to anyone unlucky enough to buy the 1st edition, but if the history of support that they've shown for the 1st edition repeats the book will be an expensive paperweight in 6 months and you'll have to wait around for the 3rd edition.

3.0 out of 5 stars Tutorial more than reference
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 January 2014

This book was literature in a university course, but the course did not follow the book's examples. It made it difficult to use as reference. As a separate course, I think it works well, for example for self-study.

I haven't been through this yet, but upon browsing through it, and having gone through much of the Java Deitel book, I'm pretty sure I will like this the same way.
