We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Kotlin and Android Development featuring Jetpack: Build Better, Safer Android Apps" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Start building native Android apps the modern way in Kotlin with Jetpacks expansive set of tools, libraries, and best practices. Learn how to create efficient, resilient views with Fragments and share data between the views with ViewModels. Use Room to persist valuable data quickly, and avoid NullPointerExceptions and Javas verbose expressions with Kotlin. You can even handle asynchronous web service calls elegantly with Kotlin coroutines. Achieve all of this and much more while building two full-featured apps, following detailed, step-by-step instructions.With Kotlin and Jetpack, Android development is now smoother and more enjoyable than ever before. Dive right in by developing two complete Android apps.With the first app, Penny Drop, you create a full game complete with random die rolls, customizable rules, and AI opponents. Build lightweight Fragment views with data binding, quickly and safely update data with ViewModel classes, and handle all app navigation in a single location. Use Kotlin with Android-specific Kotlin extensions to efficiently write null-safe code without all the normal boilerplate required for pre-Jetpack + Kotlin apps. Persist and retrieve data as full objects with the Room library, then display that data with ViewModels and list records in a RecyclerView.Next, you create the official app for the Android Baseball League. Its a fake league but a real app, where you use what you learn in Penny Drop and build up from there. Navigate all over the app via a Navigation Drawer, including specific locations via Android App Links. Handle asynchronous and web service calls with Kotlin Coroutines, display that data smoothly with the Paging library, and send notifications to a users phone from your app.Come build Android apps the modern way with Kotlin and Jetpack!What You Need:Youll need the Android SDK, a text editor, and either a real Android device or emulator for testing. While not strictly required, its assumed youre using Android Studio, which comes with the Android SDK and simplifies creating an emulator. Also, a few examples require JDK 1.8 or later, though all of these pieces can be completed in other ways when using JDK 1.6.

Early Praise for Kotlin and Android Development featuring Jetpack

Learning a new language and platform at the same time can seem daunting, but this book makes it both fun and easily understandable. The sample apps make complex topics such as view binding and unit testing relatable and easy to understand.

Markus Neuhoff
Android/Kotlin Course Author, Pluralsight

Michael does an excellent job explaining Kotlin, from the basics to the most advanced topics. The two example applications are incredibly helpful for both beginners and advanced developers. Coming from a different background in mobile development, having the step-by-step on the basics on how to use Android Studio and following the examples in the book made it easy to focus on the important topic, which is learning Kotlin.

Pablo Siller
Mobile Lead, Trek Bicycle

If youre serious about developing Android applications with Kotlin, youve found a thorough and yet an approachable book that will guide you through every step of developing and testing.

Dr. Venkat Subramaniam
Founder, Agile Developer, Inc.

A great walkthrough of using Kotlin for Android development. Plenty of code examples and a clear trajectory from beginner to advanced.

Greg Levenhagen
Principal Consultant, MS Regional Director, MS AI MVP, Skyline Technologies, Inc.

Whether youre new to or have experience with Kotlin, this book is a valuable resource. With great project-based examples, youll easily be able to adapt what you learn to your own projects. This is a must-have for any developers collection.

Rolando Lopez
Senior Mobile Applications Developer, Milwaukee Tool

As someone that has no Android-development experience, but a strong software development background, I found this to be a very engaging and informative first step into the world of Android. Highly recommended for anyone looking to get into this world!

Brandon Martinez
Senior Service Engineer, Microsoft

Acknowledgments

First off, a big thank you to the entire Pragmatic Bookshelf team, and especially three particular people. I want to express a great deal of gratitude to my editor, Michael Swaine, for taking this journey with me, supporting me at each step of the process, and sometimes just giving me the Youre all good, dont worry that really I needed. This book would never have been a possibility without Brian MacDonald coming up to me at THAT Conference and saying Hey, do you want to write a book on Kotlin?, then working with me through the entire pre-book process. And finally Brian Hogan, who assured me that PragProg was great (turns out they are) and that I could actually do this book (turns out I could).

My sincere appreciation to my tech reviewers: Joe Vetta, Rolando Lopez, Ben Gavin, Brandon Martinez, and Andrew Petersen. The fact that you all took the time to read through my book and help make it better means so much to me, and Im eternally grateful for that. Also, thank you to Keno Basedow for finding a number of ways I could improve the book and make it clearer during the beta process.

Ive been lucky enough to have support from everyone around me. This includes the whole Skyline crew, who have been great with this crazy side project of mine. Craig and Joe, for tolerating my incessant OMG KOTLIN comments the past few years. Rolando, for being as excited as anyone when I found out the book was happening. And all my friends and family who knowingly (or unknowingly) are part of the book in the Android Baseball League.
