Android Application Development All-in-One For Dummies Review: Keeps it simple - I came to read this book as a semi-experienced java programmer. Im working on an app and actually had no idea how to work with fragments. This book gave the step by step to creating a fragment, rather than the copy paste here, here, and here that websites gave me. It also gave me solutions to problems that I haven't had yet, which is great. Review: ... Barry Burd's 4 books that I have are very good, but this one is great - All of Barry Burd's 4 books that I have are very good, but this one is great. More Android, and less Dummies, if you follow--some of the Dummies books seem to aim just a bit low. This one is a gem, full of practical tips and observations. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,356,689 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #749 in Java Programming #857 in Mobile App Development & Programming #3,589 in Computer Programming Languages | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 218 Reviews | ## Images ![Android Application Development All-in-One For Dummies - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7138Hqct7GL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Keeps it simple *by C***E on June 26, 2017* I came to read this book as a semi-experienced java programmer.

This is more a short narrative of how a programmatic dinosaur (at least this one) adapts to modern coding, and how books like those of Mr. Burd's might help. To summarize the stuff below: 1) this book attempts to teach Java and Android concurrently; 2) that's a lot of new and complicated stuff for a dinosaur to try to absorb at the same time, and 3) it might be easier to try to learn Java first (e.g., Java for Dummies, or something like it), then use this book to see how Java and Android work together. (If you're younger than 50 don't bother to read the rest of this review; it's written in a foreign language.) I learned to program on a B5500 (which was, at the time, brand new). Fortran. I progressed, using the term loosely, to assembler, ALGOL, COBOL, c, Pascal, Univac, IBM, DEC, etc.. I admit all this only to establish without doubt that I am a dinosaur. Although I haven't done any programming in a long time, I recently decided to learn to write programs that run on my cell phone (i.e, apps!). I have a Samsung phone, and so I needed to learn Java and Android. Hence my interest in Mr. Burd's book. The first problem was my misconception that I could learn this language/OS just like I learned the other ones. Wrongo. Java isn't Fortran (or even C++). Even people who wrote good structured code (remember that) will be thrown by the nature and degree of program structure imposed by Java (not to say that's bad, but it's very different). Second, the relationship between the language and the OS (Java and Android) is much more, for lack of a better word, intimate than anything that existed in the old days; it's just about impossible (and maybe meaningless) to tell where one ends and the other begins. In fact, one of the biggest problems I had with this book (or this learning process) was trying to distinguish between that which is Java and that which is Android so that I could then master them individually. Put another way, I just about finished turning my brain into mush by trying to figure out how Java worked while at the same time trying to figure out how Android worked while at the same time trying to figure out how the two worked together. (Not to mention trying to figure out stuff like XML, Gradle, API levels, AVDs, packages, and the rest of the Android liturgy.) So I put this book aside and bought Mr. Burd's "Java for Dummies". The clouds parted. Java, when dealt with more or less by itself, wasn't as foreign as I thought. Still different, but at least possible to understand. The big change in the learning environment was not having to figure out, for example, Android event handling (setOnClickListener blah blah blah) while trying to grasp of the fundamentals of Java. Then I came back to this book ("Android Application Development") and behold, things started to make sense. Thus my recommendation: tackle Java by itself, using a book focused on Java, then deal with Android app development (using a book like this one). If you buy that approach, then you will understand why my only real criticism of this book is that Mr. Burd attempts the impossible when he attempts to teach Java and Android at the same time. That makes Mr. Burd's task really difficult (the impossible frequently is), particularly in the early parts of this book, and it deals out an unnecessarily difficult learning problem (at least for a dinosaur). Having said that, I enjoy Mr. Burd's style of writing and teaching, and I like the result I'm getting from using his books (now that I've figured out how to use them). --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/17899485-android-application-development-all-in-one-for-dummies](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/17899485-android-application-development-all-in-one-for-dummies) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
