Welcome guys.

Thanks for taking the time and effort to answer our questions and promote your book.

[Frank Ableson]

Thanks for the great questions and warm welcome. Some of the longer code snippets are a bit challenging to answer here but higher level questions about Android positioning, strategies and specific questions about the book are great.

All the best for "Android in Action"....

[Frank Ableson]

Android in Action is aimed at developers with a familiarity with Java but not necessarily experience with Android. If you have experience with Android, you will find a lot of interesting content beyond basic "SDK" coverage.

Wow.. I alway wanted to start with Android. Guess this book is a good start.

Have been working through the Android Developer's Cookbook. Always good to get a different angle on things. Look forward to giving this a look. Good luck on your book!
