Android UI Design / Android Design Guidelines

Android’s user interface is based on direct manipulation, using touch inputs that loosely correspond to real-world actions, like swiping, tapping, pinching and reverse pinching to manipulate on-screen objects. The response to user input is designed to be immediate and provides a fluid touch interface.

In this book, you will get a look at the fundamentals of Android UI design. You will understand user input, views and layouts, as well as adapters and fragments.

Furthermore, you will learn how to add multimedia to an app and also leverage themes and styles. Of course, all these are tied up with a sample application, which you will build from scratch.

This book provides practical guidelines, standards, techniques, and best practices for building Andriod apps from start to finish.
