As with most development processes, Android keeps resources and logic nicely separated, and so this book covers the management of imagery and other resources, and the development and testing tools provided by the IDE.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter introducing the software, the book moves straight into UI development using the sophisticated, WYSIWYG layout editor and XML code to design and test complex interfaces for a wide variety of screen configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith activity design covered, the book continues to guide the reader through application logic development, exploring the latest APIs provided by the SDK. Each topic will be demonstrated by working code samples that can be run on a device or emulator.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of Android Studio's greatest features is the large number of third-party plugins available for it, and throughout the book we will be exploring the most useful of these, along with samples and libraries that can be found on GitHub.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe final module of the book deals with the final stages of development: building and distribution. The book concludes by taking the reader through the registration and publication processes required by Google. By the time you have finished the book, you will be able to build faster, smoother, and error-free Android applications, in less time and with fewer complications than you ever thought possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eStyle and approach\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a step-by-step guide with examples demonstrating how Android Studio can be used as a complete solution for developing, testing, and deploying apps from start to finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Packt Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47114551296240,"sku":"9781786468451","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781786468451_p0.jpg?v=1763729273","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781786468451","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
