Building an Android Application: Book Excerpt

Sometimes publishers allow sites to publish entire chapters of books. ComputerWorld recently published a complete chapter from Sam's Teach Yourself Android Application Development in 24 Hours. We think this is a particularly good excerpt, too, as it has broad topic coverage.

This excerpt, from Hour 3, covers topics from application design to resources to Android Activities. And then it goes on, and covering Activity lifecycle and even Intents and various things you can do with them as a developer. You even get information about debug logging. It's not just a preview of Hour 3, it's nearly the whole chapter.

Reader Feedback: Educational Materials

We're frequently asked by professors, teachers, and other educators about materials they can use in their lectures or coursework above and beyond those found in our books. Our publisher has a great site for this purpose: Pearson Education. They create slides and other teaching materials for the various books, including Android Wireless Application Development and Sam's Teach Yourself Android Application Development in 24 Hours. We don't know exactly when the materials are available, but it is usually some time after the book is available for purchase. If you have any trouble obtaining teaching materials on a particular topic, don't hesitate to contact our publisher, Pearson Education team support or us directly and we will try to accommodate your requests as best we can.
