You'll learn with the help of examples that use up-to-date API classes and are created within Android Studio, the official Android development environment that helps supercharge your mobile application development process. 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.

What You Will Learn:

• Understand the fundamentals of coding in Java for Android
• Install and set up your Android development environment
• Build functional user interfaces with the Android Studio visual designer
• Add user interaction, data captures, sound, and animation to your apps
• Manage your apps' data using the built-in Android SQLite database
• Explore the design patterns used by professionals to build top-grade applications
• Build real-world Android applications that you can deploy to the Google Play marketplace
