Summary

Android Development in Detail is a comprehensive reference book on Android app development, written by the Mingri Technology team (Li Lei, Wang Guohui, and Liu Zhiming) and published by Jilin University Press in 2018. It runs to 28 chapters and covers virtually every stage of knowledge needed to build Android applications, serving both absolute beginners and developers with some experience who want to advance systematically. In terms of content, the book begins with the origins and architecture of the Android platform, first familiarizing readers with common techniques in Android Studio, the mainstream development tool, before moving into App UI design, where UI controls are explained in three tiers—elementary, intermediate, and advanced—with dedicated discussion of Android's permission mechanism, the use of support libraries, and custom controls. In the component section, the book uses the metaphor of "leading and supporting roles" to explain Activity and Intent, then extends to event and gesture handling, resource access and invocation, use of the Action Bar, messages and notifications, broadcasts and alarms, and other application-level topics. The advanced section covers graphics and image processing, animation, audio and video playback, photography and image display, 3D graphics with OpenGL, data storage, background task processing (Service and asynchronous mechanisms), sensor applications, location services and Baidu Map integration, network programming and Internet applications, desktop widget development, and common third-party technologies such as third-party login, sharing, and payment, closing with APK export and app publishing. Throughout, the book emphasizes a "knowledge plus examples" approach, with detailed comments on the sample code and "e-learning codes" embedded in the text: readers can scan the codes to get expanded explanations of technical terms and difficult code, and can also obtain companion source code and technical support through the Mingri Academy website.

Editor's review

这本书最大的价值在于“全”。28章的体量把Android应用开发从环境搭建到上架的整条链路铺开，读者不必在几本书之间来回拼接知识，一册在手就能建立较为完整的开发地图。对自学者尤其友好的是，它把抽象概念嵌在可运行的实例里：先用一个小例子看到效果，再回头理解控件、组件与生命周期，学习曲线相对平缓。结构上它有明显的主线意识——UI控件分三级递进，组件部分用“主角与配角”的比喻讲Activity与Intent，后台工作者、传感器、地图、网络、小部件、第三方登录与支付这些实战话题也都有独立章节，便于按需查阅，当作工具书放在手边也合适。书中的“e学码”设计是较有辨识度的一点，遇到难懂的术语或代码片段，扫码就能看到扩展解释，相当于给纸质书装了一个随身的答疑入口；配合明日学院网站上的源码与资源，动手练习的门槛被进一步降低。需要提醒的是，本书内容基于2018年前后的Android技术栈，示例围绕Java与Android Studio展开。今天学习时，建议把它当作理解Android基础概念与开发流程的教材，语法与依赖版本方面再参考官方文档与更新的资料。

Who it's for

A good fit for

零基础想系统入门Android应用开发的初学者
需要一本可随时查阅的Android开发工具书的自学者
在校学生或培训学员，用于配合课程做实践练习
已经会Java、希望转向移动端开发的程序员

Not a good fit for

已专攻Kotlin与Jetpack Compose、需要最新技术栈的资深开发者
只想快速做跨平台应用、不想深入Android原生体系的读者
期望书中内容与当前Android版本完全同步的读者

Reading tips

按章节顺序阅读，先打牢UI控件、Activity与Intent等基础，再挑感兴趣的实战章节。
每章的实例务必亲自敲一遍并改动参数观察效果，源码可从配套网站获取对照。
遇到看不懂的术语先扫码看扩展解释，仍不清楚再查官方文档补足概念。
读完第28章后，自己从零做一个完整小App并尝试打包上架，把全书知识串成一条线。

FAQ

这本书适合零基础的人看吗？

适合。书中从Android平台介绍、环境搭建与第一个项目讲起，UI控件也按初级、中级、高级分级讲解，未要求读者已具备Android基础；但需要至少掌握Java的基本语法，否则阅读代码实例会比较吃力。

书里的示例用什么语言和开发工具？

据出版信息，全书以Java为开发语言，使用Android Studio作为集成开发环境，内容基于2018年前后流行的Android版本与控件体系，属于传统的View体系而非Compose声明式UI。

书中的技术内容现在会过时吗？

部分会。2018年出版的书籍在Android版本、AndroidX支持库、第三方SDK接口等细节上可能与现状有差异，但Activity与Intent、生命周期、资源访问、数据存储、网络访问等核心概念仍然通用，建议配合官方文档使用。

什么是书中的“e学码”？

这是书中设置的一种二维码辅助功能，位于专业术语或代码难点下方，用手机扫描后可获得更详细的扩展解释，帮助读者在不中断阅读的情况下解决疑惑。

配套源码和资源在哪里获取？

出版信息提到可登录明日学院网站获取本书的程序源码、学习资源与技术支持，具体获取方式以书内说明和出版社渠道为准。
