Developing Android User Interfaces LiveLessons teaches developers how to create beautiful and effective user interfaces for their Android applications.
Description
In this video training, Adam breaks down Android user interfaces. He starts with a general overview of user interfaces and the components that make them up. Next, he dives down to discuss interface widgets and then works his way back up, showing how widgets are organized into layouts and screens and finally how good applications organize and consistently navigate between different application screens. Each step in the training video features extensive walkthroughs of Android source code, including new components available only in the Android "L" release. After watching this video, developers will understand how to design and build usable and effective Android user interfaces--from the ground up.
