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!

What’s New in Version 2.1?
There are quite a few changes in this long-delayed update:
• There is a new chapter, focusing on app widgets, those interactive home screen elements that apps can contribute
• There is also a new chapter on using library modules, plus a new section on creating library modules
• The chapter on dependency inversion was moved up one in the chapter sequence, and the chapter on Room was updated to use Koin’s DI implementation for the Kotlin sample
• The chapter on Jetpack Navigation now also covers the Kotlin DSL
• The various uses of startActivityForResult() were replaced by registerForActivityResult() and ActivityResultContracts
• Everything was updated for Android Studio 4.2.2, the current shipping version
And, in addition to all of that, there are the usual suite of bug fixes, to the prose and to the sample code.
