Can anyone please provide study material for Android Coding??

Question

Would be great help, if some one can provide What to do, what to learn. I am a complete newbie in this coding. I want to explore android And Web dev. Web dev I got required sources, but for Android I don't have any till now.

Answer 1

Making Android applications is far easier when one is versed in Java as that's what the SDK, Android Studio, uses.

If you'd looking to get a jump straight into Android though, there are a few books that provide an introduction to programming through Java based Android developmen (not listed in any particular order):

Head First Android Development - Griffiths
Android Programming for Beginners - Horton
Android Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide - Philips, Steward, & Hardy

You should note though that there are numerous sources for simple app tutorials available freely online.

Best of luck.

Answer 2

Java is the language you would be typically using, so as far being able to create multipurpose applications for Android, learning Java would be foremost in my opinion because your ability to write with efficiency and full knowledge of options, etc, available to you simply rely on knowledge previously gleaned.

The native ADK also supports C and C++ if I remember correctly, though I believe it's not something they even recommend doing.

That aside, if you're doing a smallscale or relatively simple project, doing an intro to Android Programming (with Java) would be sufficient, especially if you don't plan on using it for much more than a web-based controller front or the like.
I think this is probably what you're looking for, and if you end up getting your feet wet, and keep finding yourself wanting to learn about the "how's and whys" of code you see being used, then you probably would want to more thoroughly learn Java, or at least lookup that particular documentation as you come upon it.

Best of luck.
