Summary

Written by the Mingri Science and Technology team and part of Tsinghua University Press's "Software Development Video Lecture Series," this book teaches Android app development to readers ranging from complete beginners to intermediate learners. Its 15 chapters begin with a quick-start introduction to Android, emulators, and common commands, then move through user interface design and advanced UI design, the basic program unit Activity, the core component Intent, event handling, and resource access, before going deeper into graphics and image processing, multimedia app development, data sharing with ContentProvider, threads and message handling, Service applications, and network programming and Internet applications. It closes with the "Family Finance Manager" project, which ties together the full development workflow and demonstrates the practical process from requirements to code implementation. All examples include code comments, and the book comes with disc resources: 25 hours of narrated video instruction in 62 segments, a 600-page technical reference, 436 classic examples, 369 real interview questions, 138 skills assessment questions, and electronic lecture slides. The content focuses on the traditional Android SDK and Java development and is suitable both for self-study and as a reference for university courses.

Editor's review

这本书最大的价值在于“全流程”：从装环境、画界面，到 Activity、Intent、Service、网络编程，最后落到一个能跑起来的完整项目，初学者的知识地图能一次铺齐。它的写法偏“照做即可”，步骤细、图多、代码注释充分，配上动辄几十小时的视频讲解和大量实例源码，自学时不容易卡死在第一步。作为清华社“软件开发视频大讲堂”的一员，它更像一套成体系的课程包，而不是纯理论教材。需要提醒的是，本书基于 2012 年前后的 Android SDK 与 Java 技术栈，与今天的 Kotlin、Jetpack、Compose 体系有代差；如果是零基础想打地基、看经典组件的原理与协作方式，它依然好用；若要直接做商业项目，应搭配更新的官方文档和新版教材。

Who it's for

A good fit for

完全没有 Android 基础、希望跟着步骤做出第一个 App 的自学者
需要一本体系完整教学参考书的高校计算机相关专业师生
从 Java 或桌面开发转移动端、想补齐 Activity/Intent/Service 知识的人
预算有限、希望用一套书配视频和源码完成入门练习的读者

Not a good fit for

已经在用 Kotlin、Jetpack Compose 开发，想学最新技术栈的工程师
希望直接获得企业级架构、性能优化与上线发布经验的有经验开发者
只想查阅 API 速查手册、不愿按章节循序练习的读者

Reading tips

边读边敲：每章实例都在本地复现一遍，改几个参数看效果差异，比只读代码收益大得多。
按基础、进阶、项目三阶段推进，先把 Activity、Intent、资源与事件处理打通，再进入 Service 与网络编程。
环境与 API 版本可参考当前官方文档做等价替换，遇到版本差异不必逐字照搬书中截图。
把“家庭理财通”项目拆成小功能自行重做一遍，用来检验对四大组件与数据存储的掌握程度。

FAQ

这本书适合零基础读者吗？

适合。全书从搭建开发环境、创建第一个应用讲起，示例步骤详细并配视频讲解，但读者最好具备 Java 基础语法知识，否则在类、接口、线程等概念上会吃力。

书里的技术现在还能用吗？

书中基于 2012 年前后的 Android SDK 与 Java 技术栈，Activity、Intent、Service、ContentProvider 等核心概念仍然有效，但界面写法、构建工具与权限机制已更新，实践时应以官方最新文档为准。

配套资源包含哪些内容？

据出版社介绍，随书光盘提供 25 小时共 62 段视频讲解、600 页技术参考文档、436 个实例、369 道面试真题、138 道能力测试题及 PPT 电子教案，部分资源可通过出版社提供的网盘链接获取。

这本书和“微视频精编版”有什么区别？

本书为 2012 年出版的原版，共 15 章；2020 年另有明日科技编著的《Android从入门到精通（微视频精编版）》，ISBN 为 9787302518815，共 3 篇 20 章，内容和配套视频均有调整，购买时请注意区分版本。
