Book description
Master Android™ App Development for Amazon’s
Bestselling Kindle Fire™—Hands-On,
Step-by-Step!
In this book, bestselling Android programming authors Lauren Darcey
and Shane Conder teach you every skill and technique you need to
write production-quality apps for Amazon Kindle Fire, the
world’s hottest Android tablet. You’ll learn the very
best way: by building a complete app from start to finish. Every
chapter builds on what you’ve already learned, helping you
construct, expand, and extend your working app as you move through
the entire development lifecycle.
Packed with fully tested, reusable sample code, this book requires
absolutely no previous Android or mobile development experience. If
you’ve ever written any Java code, you can dive right in and
get results fast. Darcey and Conder start with the absolute basics:
installing Android development tools, structuring and configuring
Kindle Fire apps, and applying crucial design principles associated
with high-quality software. Next, building on this strong
foundation, you’ll learn how to manage application resources
and build application frameworks; integrate user interfaces, logic,
and support for networking and web services; test your apps; and
publish on the Amazon Appstore.
