Comments:
Great starter app for anyone wanting to try android application development !!\tThis app explains you basis of android application development. Having prior knowledge of Java programming language definitely helps understanding the examples provided. Also, it should be obvious since entire application development depends in android platform depends on Java. Also, this app has in-app advertising. It shows up at the bottom of the screen. I am fine with it but if you prefer not to see ads you can skip this app.
OLD: As Android runs a single foreground app at a time, not having the ability to copy examples to the clipboard is great weakness in a reference/training app. Add this ability and I will reinstall. Nice reference otherwise. NEW: Copy was added, now I will try it again and review it more thoroughly - thanks, developer.
This teaches you almost nothing about Android development. It's more or less just a long list of example code snippets with no explanation of what they're doing and why you should use them. And the many spelling errors, even in the code, make it practically useless as a reminder for developers.
I'm new to developing for Android and sometimes the official Android documentation, along with some tutorials I have followed, have assumed prior knowledge of concepts I'm not familiar with. This book style app was great for filling in some of those gaps. Great job!
Definitely no beginners can understand this.it seems u simplified much as possible but if you help beginners with an example app from scratch that will be a better one.'
