The book guides you through establishing an efficient development environment and workflow, and testing your app to ensure that your code works just as you expect. Modern best practices for structuring apps, using widgets and components, and working with views are all covered.
In addition to looking at how to build apps that are easy to manage and update, and that deliver accurate and up-to-date information without wasting precious battery power, Dutson also looks at how to take advantage of new hardware, such as Android Wear and Android TV.
