Very good
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 5 June 2017Verified Purchase
This is an excellent book for novices. If you follow its detailed instructions exactly, you will achieve the results it claims. It's not a reference work on Java, nor Android, but it's hard to criticise as a way means to creating your first Android programs

Specially for beginners
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 9 April 2016Verified Purchase
It's a easily understandable book, especially for beginners. Barry Burd is very good at explaining programming concepts to those who's never touched a computer. Beginners, read this first, but if you want to go into practical Android development, buy other books because it doesn't contain enough codes.
Even pros still need to keep it around for reference.
This is the third Barry Byrd I read and I didn't regret it.

Bought in April 2019 and it's very obsolete.
Reviewed in Mexico 🇲🇽 on 26 April 2019Verified Purchase
I ordered this book having nearly finished the same author's 'Beginning Programming with Java for dummies'. I began reading it to find that it had been written and published in 2015. For some technical manuals four years isn't a lot, but there have been so many updates to the numerous bits of software referred to and exampled in the first two or three chapters alone that I very soon became stuck and disheartened. I've used my best guesses through as much as I can, but the age of the book is just too prohibitive a factor to make the book worth considering for a complete beginner like myself.
I will now try to rectify the mistake and shall order a much more up to date book, as this one refers to the latest Android version as 5.1, yet my own (not new) mobile phone is running Android 9.0. I'm sure it was a great book in it's day, but it's not been updated since so can't be considered useful due to the changing software :(

Good book just a little out of date
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on 26 October 2018Verified Purchase
So far its has been a fairly informative book, however it is a bit out of date as Cyanogenmod no longer exists and is now Lineage OS but it is good to know the history of the software and well worth it at the price.
