I recently published my first app and wish I would have had this book as a reference throughout the process. I love great UI because as an app user, I love the great user experience a well thought out and polished UI brings. So nailing the UI in any of my apps is very important to me.This book is not about giving you the code up front and telling you exactly what to write to implement a certain UI. It does a relatively good job, however, in pointing you towards websites and sources where you can read more about how to implement certain UI code. And it also does a nice job in highlighting various open source libraries which implement the UI concepts.What I love most about the book is the level of depth used in exploring all stock Android 4.x UI concepts and methods. The author tells you when it might be a good idea to use one UI concept over another. He also describes why not to use something for a particular need and suggests which UI concept might be used instead, and why. I think such UI discussions are very important up front, before writing any code, because it forces the developer to think clearly how the user will use his or her app. Especially the first few chapters of the book talk about UI planning and how to make the user "not think" when using your app. Such pre-coding planning is critical for a user friendly app.If you care at all about you user experience when using your app, this book must be on your list of must-reads. As Google strives for a more unified and slicker user experience with Android 4.x, app developers should to update their pre-4.x apps UI to the latest. This book will be a great asset in that quest, as well as it is a great asset for any new apps being developed for Android 4.x and on. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book of usability and programming, for developers and designers. *by V***) on Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2013* I've preordered that book and was waiting for it! when it arrives, takes me 5 days to read it!!Is an excellent book for advanced android developers and for designers.
