The Android landscape has dramatically changed since the first publication of this book in 2011. The capability of the devices and quality of the software has significantly improved. Since that time, Dave Smith has continued to ship some of the top Android applications in the Google Play store, improving his repertoire of information. In this book, you’ll learn from a doer, and one of the most experienced in the Android development community.

Dave is the go-to Android dev around our company, so if you are ready to take your Android skills to the next level, you’ve picked the right resource. Obsess on the details; your users will appreciate it—and remember, “Real Artists Ship.”
