Android App Development and Design: Learn by Video

If you want to get in on the rapidly expanding market for Android apps, you’ll need to understand the important concepts behind Android development, which may not be intuitive for those familiar with other platforms. In this course from expert programmer and developer Constantin Ehrenstein, you’ll begin by stepping through the process of setting up your Android development environment, defining device emulators, and connecting to actual Android devices. Next, you’ll learn about the fundamentals of Android layouts and UIs and how to program your app’s interaction with activities and services. With your basic Android app fleshed out, you’ll learn how to broaden your app’s target audience by making it run on as many devices, screen sizes, and form factors as possible. And finally, you’ll learn how to package your app and publish it to the Android Market. This Learn by Video workshop is published in partnership with Peachpit Press.
