После множества лет разработки приложений для Android в 2018 году появилось новое поколение технологий для разработки приложений под Android, которое выводит на первый план Jetpack и семейство библиотек AndroidX. Данная книга следует по стопам "Руководства занятого программиста по разработке Android", чтобы познакомить разработчиков с программированием приложений для Android, сфокусировав внимание на Jetpack. Из этого руководста вы сможете узнать как настроить приложение Android для Java или Kotlin, создать пользовательский интерфейс и многое другое!

After a decade's worth of Android app development, 2018 debuted the second generation of Android app development techniques, highlighted by Jetpack and the AndroidX family of libraries. This book follows in the footsteps of The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development, to introduce developers to Android app development, focusing on Jetpack. Here you will learn how to set up an Android app for Java or Kotlin, create a user interface, and more!

No doubt, you are in a hurry to get started with Android application development. After all, you are reading this book, aimed at busy coders. This book is focused on writing Android applications (“apps”). An app is something that a user might install from the Play Store or otherwise download to their device. That app usually has some user interface, and it might have other code designed to work in the background.

In short, Android app development has been around for a while. Along the way, many techniques and approaches were tried and discarded. Many programming patterns were applied, rejected, and replaced. Many UI designs were rolled out to great fanfare, only to be shunted aside in favor of yet new UI designs. And so on. Android app development has a lot of history, and while some of that history remains relevant today, a lot of it is just baggage. Jetpack is a way of thinking about Android app development that dumps some of that baggage.

The focus of Jetpack — and this book by extension — is on the current recommended practices in Android. We try to ignore most of the history, or at least put it in its appropriate place. Instead, we try to help you build using up-to-date approaches, bypassing the approaches of yesteryear.
