1. Beginning Android Application Development by Wei-Meng Lee
This full-color guide offers you a hands-on introduction to creating Android applications for the latest mobile devices. Veteran author Wei Meng Lee accompanies each lesson with real-world examples to drive home the content he covers. Beginning with an overview of core Android features and tools, he moves at a steady pace while teaching everything you need to know to successfully develop your own Android applications.
2. Professional Android™ Application Development by Reto Meier
This book is for anyone interested in creating applications for the Android mobile phone platform. It includes information that will be valuable, whether you’re an experienced mobile developer or making our fi rst foray, via Android, into writing mobile applications.
It will help if readers have used mobile phones (particularly phones running Android), but it’s not necessary, nor is prior experience in mobile phone development. It’s expected that you’ll have some experience in software development and be familiar with basic development practices. While knowledge of Java is helpful, it’s not a necessity.
3. A first look at Google Android by Tomas Katysovas
The purpose of this report is to present to the user the new and promising mobile platform based on the Linux operating system and provided by Google. Additionally, I introduce Open Source infrastructure which not only supports development, but also has the potential to become a main business activity in the future.
4. The Android Developer’s Guide
The Dev Guide on the Android Developer’s site is quite helpful. It offers an Android Basic’s section to get you started.
5. Head First Android Development by Jonathan Simon
Whether you're a seasoned iPhone developer who wants to jump into the the Android Market, or someone with previous programming skills but no mobile apps in your resume, this book offers a complete learning experience for creating eye-catching, top-selling Android applications.
6. AndBook: Android Programming Book by Nicolas Gramlich
AndBook is a non-commerical book to learn programming for Google’s Android as a ‘hands on’ process. As mentioned in the book, “This document was written for developers who have worked with Java™ before and want to start developing for the Android Platform. I tried to make this as much “hands on” as possible, placing example codes everywhere it fit. Also I tried to insert as many picture as possible, because they liven up the learning process and relax the reader’s eyes.”
7. Building Android Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript by Jonathan Stark
If you know HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, you already have the tools you need to develop Android applications. This hands-on book shows you how to use these open source web standards to design and build apps that can be adapted for any Android device - without having to use Java. You'll learn how to create an Android-friendly web app on the platform of your choice, and then convert it to a native Android app with the free PhoneGap framework. Discover why device-agnostic mobile apps are the wave of the future, and start building apps that offer greater flexibility and a broader reach.
