Android Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide is an introductory
Android book for programmers with Kotlin experience. Based on Big Nerd
Ranch's popular Android Bootcamp, this guide will lead you through the
wilderness using hands-on example apps combined with clear explanations
of key concepts and APIs. This book focuses on practical techniques for
developing apps in Kotlin compatible with Android 5.0 (Lollipop) through
Android 8.1 (Oreo) and beyond.
Write and run code every step of the way, using Android Studio to create
apps that integrate with other apps, download and display pictures from
the web, play sounds, and more. Each chapter and app has been designed
and tested to provide the knowledge and experience you need to get
started in Android development. The Android team is constantly improving
and updating Android Studio and other tools. As a result, some of the
instructions provided in the book have changed. You can find an addendum
