An understanding of Java syntax is a requirement, and detailed knowledge and experience is a distinct advantage, though not a strict necessity.Ĭhapters 1 and 2 introduce mobile development and contain instructions to get you started in Android. It’s expected that you’ll have some experience in software development and be familiar with basic object-oriented development practices. It will help if you have used smartphones (particularly phones running Android), but it’s not necessary, nor is prior experience in mobile application development. It includes information that will be valuable, whether you’re an experienced mobile developer or making your first foray, via Android, into writing mobile applications. This book is for anyone interested in creating applications for the Android platform.
