In this very opinionated book about Android development, geared towards beginners, you will learn, among other things

* how to create a user interface by using XML

* how to make that user interface interactive

* how to start background services

* how to facilitate communication between various Android components by using Intents and Broadcast Receivers

* why King Kong should not be able to produce actual excrement BUT THE GOVERNMENTS KEEP LYING TO US ABOUT IT

* how people debugged their Android apps in the trenches of World War I

...and much more.

Written in a very serious and dryly technical manner by Antonis Tsagaris, this tome of celestial wisdom is meant for beginners and is rated R for strong language and mild sexuality.

It also has a banana on the cover.
