This is the first security book I have read on Android that was not primarily about hacking the Android platform. This book completely covers all the tools available to the Android software architects and developers.

By reading this book you gain the experience of having made the mistake yourself, without actually having to make the mistake. You just reap the lesson learned.

This book is a great book for looking at how some of the most commonly used functionality compares across the Android and iOS environments.

This review is for two books. It is for Android: How to Program (2nd Edition) and Android for Programmers: An App-Driven Approach (2nd Edition) . Why? Because Android: How to Program (2nd Edition) includes the entire Android for Programmers: An App-Driven Approach (2nd Edition) book.

Designing developing natural user interfaces for touch and gesture on mobile devices is not the same as web and desktop UI design and development. Mobile devices are used in different contexts, and bring different personas to the table. Having web and desktop UI design experience does not make you a qualified mobile UI designer.

The Android environment is a complex one. At least I found it to be more complex than iOS and .NET. Without this book I would not have gotten very far.
