Based on Big Nerd Ranch’s popular Android Bootcamp, this guide will lead you through the wilderness using hands-on example apps combined with clear explanations of key concepts and APIs. This book focuses on practical techniques for developing apps in Kotlin compatible with Android 5.0 (Lollipop) through Android 8.1 (Oreo) and beyond. Write and run code every step of the way, using Android Studio to create apps that integrate with other apps, download and display pictures from the web, play sounds, and more. Each chapter and app has been designed and tested to provide the knowledge and experience you need to get started in Android development. The Android team is constantly improving and updating Android Studio and other tools. As a result, some of the instructions provided in the book have changed.

Programming is tedious. That's the sad simple truth. But reading an educational guide on programming shouldn't be!Sure, this isn't what I'd recommend if your kid is looking for a good bed time story - but it's not the standard soulless affair that either expects you to already know seven other programming languages or have never heard of a computer before in your life. It's a good book. That said - there IS a prerequisite that you already at least be modestly knowledgeable in Kotlin, and as it just so happens, BNR has a book for that as well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best book for learning Android Programming *by on Reviewed in the United States October 19, 2020* I read this book in the library and liked it so much that I bought a copy. It seriously reads like a novel. The examples are super clear and easy to follow. Far and away the best computer book I've ever read. These guys really know their stuff. I am about to sit down with it and read it again to follow along with my computer. I am really looking forward to it. How often can you say that?There are six or seven example programs that the book has you write. They build upon concepts from previous examples so that you continually progress and feel like there is a connection to what you are doing throughout the book.Absolutely recommend! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing book to learn Android Programming *by on Reviewed in the United States April 3, 2021* Amazing book to learn Android Programming and a good starting point to leaning mobile application development. ## Frequently Bought Together - Android Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide (Big Nerd Ranch Guides) - Kotlin Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide (Big Nerd Ranch Guides) --- ## 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.ni/products/83662572-android-programming-the-big-nerd-ranch-guide](https://www.desertcart.ni/products/83662572-android-programming-the-big-nerd-ranch-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart Nicaragua* *Store origin: NI* *Last updated: 2026-06-21*
