About the Book

Building Android apps has gone a long way from endless XML layouts and clunky boilerplate code. The modern Android Toolkit is built on Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, which makes building apps faster, cleaner, and more enjoyable.

This book will guide you to modern and practical Android Development. By the end of it, you’ll learn how to build functional, elegant, maintainable apps.

What’s inside:

  • How to use Kotlin’s expressive syntax to write safer, more concise code
  • The fundamentals of Jetpack Compose for building declarative UIs without XML
  • State management, navigation, and theming in Compose
  • How to integrate Compose with existing Android apps and libraries

About the Author

Ted Hagos

I’ve spent the last 20+ years building software and teaching others how to do the same. I've written eight books for Apress on things like Android, Java, and Kotlin, but I’ve always felt that technical books should be more like conversations and less like lectures.

I don’t care much for fluff or "enterprise-speak." Whether I'm explaining a Spring workflow or an IntelliJ shortcut, my goal is the same: to show you the shortest path from an empty editor to a working feature.

I’m on LeanPub because tech moves too fast for traditional printing cycles. Here, I can give you the "alpha" versions of what I’m working on, and we can keep the content updated as the tools change.

If you're looking for deep-dives that respect your time and skip the filler, you're in the right place.

Where else to find me:

The Leanpub 60 Day 100% Happiness Guarantee

Within 60 days of purchase you can get a 100% refund on any Leanpub purchase, in two clicks.

Now, this is technically risky for us, since you'll have the book or course files either way. But we're so confident in our products and services, and in our authors and readers, that we're happy to offer a full money back guarantee for everything we sell.

You can only find out how good something is by trying it, and because of our 100% money back guarantee there's literally no risk to do so!

So, there's no reason not to click the Add to Cart button, is there?

Earn $8 on a $10 Purchase, and $16 on a $20 Purchase

We pay 80% royalties on purchases of $7.99 or more, and 80% royalties minus a 50 cent flat fee on purchases between $0.99 and $7.98. You earn $8 on a $10 sale, and $16 on a $20 sale. So, if we sell 5000 non-refunded copies of your book for $20, you'll earn $80,000.

(Yes, some authors have already earned much more than that on Leanpub.)

In fact, authors have earned over $14 million writing, publishing and selling on Leanpub.
