Android Application Development For Dummies

Unlike the ultra-competitive iPhone application market, the Android market still has plenty of room for beginning programmers to be competitive. Android Application Development For Dummies shows new Android programmers how to get started by downloading the SDK, getting Eclipse up and running, understand how Dalvik differs from other Java implementations, code Android applications, and submit the projects to the Android market.

Two programs will be provided, a simple program to get started and an intermediate program that uses more advanced aspects of the Android platform. Understanding of Java is helpful but not necessary.
