Minimum Android Programming

About the Book

This book is in alpha. I am lifting the materials from previous trainings I have conducted on the subject. The book is on the pre-writing stage, content is written and updated regularly. This has not undergone revision yet. They also have not benefited yet from the expertise of a professional editor, so please bear with the typing mistakes. The code samples however, are always tested even on the pre-writing stage.  I may make some mistakes on the verbiage but not on the code samples.

The book has changed directions. Lots of things happened in the Android Development space in the last couple of months. Android Studio is now the official IDE for Android Development. The book was re-written with Android Studio 2.1 in mind
