Android reference materials

[Joe San]

Guys,

I do not see any such documentation from the Android website that is a full fledged reference documentazion. Is there any place where I could get it?

[Mark L. Murphy]

The Web site has the same documentation that comes with the SDK, including a developer guide and API reference. Those are fairly decent for a project of this scope, though they are certainly not complete. They are, however, everything there is, from an official source.

Thanks Mark. I could see from Amazon that you have a title for Android. Is that one meant for advanced developers?

[Joe San]

I'm simply just interested to explore on developing Mobile Apps. I guess they would be revolutionizing the future of java development.

I think it's the other way around - Java may revolutionize the future of mobile :-)

The book on Amazon is for newcomers to Android. Those who subscribe to the digital edition also get a work-in-progress book on more advanced Android topics.

There are a few Android books on the JavaRanch book promotion schedule, including one you may recognize...

Thanks guys for the response. I guess I started my questions to Mark way before the book promo...
