Do you want to make a career in programming but don’t know where to start? Do you have a great idea for an app but don't know how to make it a reality? Or are you worried that you’ll have to learn Java programming to become an Android developer? Look no further!

The book starts by introducing you to all the fundamental concepts of programming in an Android context, from the basics of Java to working with the Android API.

After a crash course on the key programming concepts, you’ll explore Android programming and get to grips with creating applications with a professional-standard UI using fragments and storing user data with SQLite. This Android Java book also shows you how you can make your apps multilingual, draw on the screen with a finger, and work with graphics, sound, and animations.
By the end of this Android programming book, you'll be ready to start building your own custom applications in Android and Java.
