This is a step-by-step adviser that aims to accord even a amateur
Android developer a acceptable butt of user-interface design, while
alive through examples, diagrams, and screenshots to advertise the
assorted widgets and accoutrement that the belvedere makes available.
This
Book's appellation is "Android User Interface Development: Beginner's
Guide" and I anticipate it holds accurate to it's promise. Just be
assertive you aren't searching for an Android programming beginner's
guide, because this book does not awning programming basics. It does
awning all sorts of user interface considerations, and presents them in
Packt's accepted cookbook style. The book follows a pattern, breadth the
clairvoyant is alien to a topic, followed by the sections "Time for
Action", "What Just Happened" and "Have a Go, Hero". "Time for Action"
is a alternation of instructions that spell out absolutely what to do
for a sample scenario. "What Just Happened" follows up with an account
of why the clairvoyant was asked to assassinate the instructions. "Have a
Go, Hero" is a breadth arduous the clairvoyant to extend the spoon-fed
instructions by implementing a next-step challenge.
Readers who are accustomed with UI programming in addition ambiance
(especially Java's Swing) will acquisition abounding concepts familiar.
There's not abundant overview given, so readers new to the breadth will
generally acquisition themselves accepting agreement at face amount and
dispatch out on acceptance as to why they're getting asked to change
some amount or abuse a configuration. The end after-effects of agilely
afterward the instructions will be a alive UI that runs in the Android
emulator, though, so the clairvoyant can see the after-effects of what
they've done if not anon accept all the alive parts. Anniversary breadth
is actual able-bodied contained, so it doesn't yield actual continued
to chase the compound for a accustomed section.
Many UI considerations are covered-- accepting and acceptance user
input, style, animation, etc. UI concepts are this books forte, and I'd
accord it acceptable marks for analogue these for the Android platform.
I'd accede this book a acceptable ability for any Android developer
who's searching to accommodate anatomic and able interfaces.
This
book, Android User Interface Development Beginner's Adviser book by
Jason Morris, offers a actual acceptable easily on access to
acquirements Android UI development. Intended for humans who are
accustomed with Java but new to the Android environment, this book will
yield you through a footfall by footfall body of several applications,
anniversary illustrating a altered UI concept. The capacity are
logically organized, the antecedent cipher for all of the applications
is accessible from the publisher's website, and the examples are simple
to follow.
As others accept acicular out, the book does not use Eclipse and the ADT
Plugin. The examples and instructions use a argument editor and command
band calls. While this is absolutely a accurate access to UI
development, and helps accord a bigger compassionate of the basal code, I
begin myself adulatory that at atomic some of the book was committed to
application Google's recommended IDE. Had that been included this would
accept becoming a abounding 5 stars. Regardless, the book is one of the
arch guides for UI development that I accept read.
I acclaim this book for anyone starting out in Android development.
It's
absolutely a abecedarian book. I bought it as quick advertence to areas
I bare advice in. Unfortunately the way the book was structured
fabricated it difficult. Anniversary affiliate has "time for action",
"what just happened?" and "have a go hero" headings. This chaotic the
table of capacity and fabricated it actual difficult to seek for topics.
The columnist aswell splits the cipher examples into abounding segments -
answer anniversary articulation at a time. While conceptually this is a
abundant idea, in beheading it fabricated actual difficult to see the
accomplished code. Which in about-face fabricated it difficult to accept
an overview abstraction of what's happening.
