Ask yourself...how do you learn best? Well, like most programmers, you may well prefer to have a solid, real app that you can tear apart and analyze bit by bit. Featured on phones like the Google Nexus One, the Motorola Droid, the Samsung Galaxy S, a variety of HTC phones, and the many Android-based tablet computers, Android is a powerful, full-featured, open source mobile platform that is ready for discovery, use, and creative programming. This Android Projects book provides you first with a brief and concise introduction to the Android platform. It then dives right into setting up the Android SDK. Starting from scratch, you will learn how to set up the tools and configure Eclipse and Netbeans with their appropriate Android plug-ins on top of the Android SDK. From there you will be building and extending fun and creative mobile applications using the Android SDK, Java, and other languages such as Python, Ruby, Javascript/HTML, Flex/AIR, and Lua.
