Fully updated for Android Studio Hedgehog (2023.1.1) and the new UI, this book shows how to develop Android-based applications using Java. Neil Smyth begins with the basics. An introduction to the architecture of Android is followed by an in-depth look at the design of Android applications and user interfaces using the Android Studio environment.

More advanced topics such as intents are also covered, as are touch screen handling, gesture recognition, and the recording and playback of audio. This book edition also covers printing, transitions, and foldable device support.
