All examples are created from within Android Studio, the official Android development environment that helps supercharge your application development process.After this crash-course, we'll dive deeper into Android programming and you'll learn how to create applications with a professional-standard UI through fragments, make location-aware apps with Google Maps integration, and store your user's data with SQLite. In addition, you'll see how to make your apps multilingual, capture images from a device's camera, and work with graphics, sound, and animations too.By the end of this book, you'll be ready to start building your own custom applications in Android and Java.What you will learnWho this book is forAre you trying to start a career in programming, but haven't found the right way in?
