Android Programming Unleashed is the most comprehensive and technically sophisticated guide to best-practice Android development with today's powerful new versions of Android: 4.1 (Jelly Bean) and 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Offering the exceptional breadth and depth developers have come to expect from the Unleashed series, it covers everything programmers need to know to develop robust, high-performance Android apps that deliver a superior user experience.
Leading developer trainer Bintu Harwani begins with basic UI controls, then progresses to more advanced topics, finally covering how to develop feature rich Android applications that can access Internet-based services and store data. He illuminates each important SDK component through complete, self-contained code examples that show developers the most effective ways to build production-ready code. Coverage includes: understanding the modern Android platform from the developer's standpoint… using widgets, containers, resources, selection widgets, dialogs, and fragments… supporting actions and persistence… incorporating menus, ActionBars, content providers, and databases… integrating media and animations… using web, map, and other services… supporting communication via messaging, contacts, and emails… publishing Android apps, and much more.

I have a chapter in one of my books, Ubuntu Unleashed, that gives an introduction to using Ubuntu as a foundation for developing for Android. The information in that chapter barely scratches the surface of the topic. As a response to those who are interested in learning more and who ask me for book recommendations, I am writing this review.
Android Programming Unleashed is part of the same series as my book. I'm stating that right up front so that everyone knows that I have a potential conflict of interest. Read my review with that in mind. I'm trying to be unbiased, and I have no direct financial or editorial interest in Android Programming Unleashed, but I am the author of a book in the same series. So, now that that is out of the way, let's dig in.
Android Programming Unleashed contains more than 650 well-written pages of useful information written by someone who clearly has experience teaching others. The book is structured in four parts, each of which contain several chapters.
The first part, Fundamentals of Android Development, starts like most development and programming books, with information about installation and a general introduction to the platform, tools, and getting started. It also includes a chapter on the basic widgets used in an Android application, including some standard classes, layouts, controls, and events.
The second part dives in deeper. Building Blocks for Android Application Design contains four chapters that each cover an important aspect like laying out controls, utilizing resources and media, using selection widgets and debugging, and displaying and fetching information using dialogs and fragments.
The third part, Building Menus and Storing Data, completes the basics that are needed for most useful applications.
