Book to get into Android Programming.

[vipirius]

So I'm looking to get into Android programming and would like a good book to help. I'm already decent at Java/general OOP so I just need to learn the Android side of things. I need something that's recent(Android 4.2+) and preferably uses the new Android Studio tools instead of Eclipse. Any recommendations are appreciated.

I am taking a course on udemy on android programming (course was created by infinite skills), but Google has some great documentation to get you started at https://developer.android.com/training/index.html

 

I bet there is some great stuff on Lynda.com too!

http://teamtreehouse.com/ also has some good android tutorials.

Thanks for the answers guys but I'm looking more for actual books right now. Udemy and teamtreehouse are paid and the Google tutorials are too basic/not in depth enough.

Just google?

If you're totally new to android.  Here's a good place to start.  Marakana's Android Bootcamp.  This is an older video series from 2012 but it covers the basic concepts of android like Activities, Services, etc.

Best book = trying to create something by your self and using Google if problem occurs. Stackoverflow is wonderful place while looking for answers as well.

A good book allround for Android programinng is: Professional Android 4 Application-Development. I find that its one of the better books outhere.
