Summary

Mastering Android Studio, by Bi Xiaopeng, is a tool-oriented technical book in the "Mobile Development Series" from Tsinghua University Press. Using Android Studio 2.2 as its baseline environment, it systematically covers the practical features and operating techniques of this official IDE. The book has 16 chapters: Chapter 1 outlines Android Studio's features, interface, tools, and functions, as well as environment setup and common preference settings; Chapter 2 explains the creation of projects, files, and resources; Chapter 3 introduces the visual layout editor; Chapter 4 covers techniques for managing projects, files, the IDE, and code; Chapters 5 to 7 address code editing and view and navigation operations; Chapter 8 introduces code generation, activity templates, auto-completion, and code formatting; Chapter 9 explains code inspection tools; Chapter 10 covers quick refactoring; Chapter 11 explains how to configure, compile, and build applications with Gradle; Chapter 12 covers application configuration, running, and debugging; Chapter 13 introduces the various practical tools integrated into Android Studio; Chapter 14 introduces version control using Git as an example; Chapter 15 covers window and tab management; Chapter 16 teaches readers to configure a personalized, efficient IDE that fits their own habits. The book's style is closer to a "manual": it does not aim for step-by-step progression but is organized by scenario, making it easy for readers to look up the relevant chapter when a problem arises; the operation demonstrations are mostly on macOS, with shortcuts distinguished for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Editor's review

很多 Android 开发者会用 Android Studio 写代码，却只用到了它一小部分能力：一个功能翻半天菜单，重复劳动靠手工一点点做，快捷键不认识几个。这本书的意义就在于把 IDE 本身当作一门“手艺”来教。全书以 16 章的篇幅覆盖从环境搭建、项目与资源创建、布局编辑器，到代码编辑、检查、重构，再到 Gradle 构建、运行调试、集成工具、Git 版本控制，最后落到个性化配置，几乎把日常开发要碰的界面和工具都过了一遍。它的写法很实在：场景明确、步骤清晰、图示密集，近 1500 张操作截图让每一步都能对上屏幕；快捷键同时标注 macOS、Windows 与 Linux 三套习惯，跨平台用户不会卡壳。更难得的是作者明确说这是一本 Cookbook——不必从头读到尾，遇到问题按需检索即可，因此它更适合放在电脑旁长期翻阅，而不是当作入门教程啃一遍。需要提醒的是，书中环境为 Android Studio 2.2、出版于 2017 年，IDE 的界面与部分功能此后已有变化，读者要把它当作“思路与技巧手册”，具体菜单位置以自己安装的版本为准。

Who it's for

A good fit for

已能用 Android Studio 写代码、想系统提升工具使用效率的 Android 开发者
需要频繁查快捷键、布局编辑器、Gradle 配置等具体操作的实战型程序员
负责 Android 应用测试与构建、需要熟悉 IDE 各模块的测试和工程人员
同时使用 IntelliJ IDEA、想借鉴同类操作技巧的 Java/Kotlin 开发者

Not a good fit for

完全没有编程与 Android 基础、希望循序渐进学开发的零基础读者
只关心最新版 Android Studio 与最新 API、介意内容年份偏早的读者
想系统学习 Android 应用架构、UI 设计或 Kotlin 语言本身的读者

Reading tips

不必从头读到尾，先通读第 1、2 章建立界面与环境认知，再按工作痛点跳到相应章节。
阅读时打开 Android Studio 同步操作，把书中快捷键与操作路径实际敲一遍，效果远胜只看图。
对第 11、12 章 Gradle 构建与调试内容可结合自己的项目实践，记录与当前版本不一致之处。
把本书当作案头手册，遇到具体问题先查目录定位章节，再回到官方文档确认新版行为。

FAQ

这本书适合零基础学 Android 开发吗？

不太适合。作者在书中明确说明，本书专注于工具与操作技巧，对 Android 开发基础知识只是略有提及，并非循序渐进的学习书籍。完全没有 Java/Kotlin 与 Android 基础的读者，建议先学开发基础，再用本书提升工具使用效率。

书中内容基于哪个版本的 Android Studio？

根据出版社与百科资料，本书基于 Android Studio 2.2 编写，2017 年 1 月由清华大学出版社出版。此后 IDE 界面与部分功能已有较大变化，实际操作时菜单位置可能与书中截图不同，建议以自己安装的版本为准。

书中的快捷键区分操作系统吗？

区分。作者以 macOS 上的操作为例演示，同时对快捷键标注了 macOS、Windows/Linux 的差异，因此 Windows 和 Linux 用户也可以对照使用，只是界面细节可能略有差别。

这本书和 IntelliJ IDEA 有关吗？

有。Android Studio 基于 IntelliJ IDEA 构建，作者在书中提到，大部分操作技巧同样适用于 IntelliJ IDEA，因此做 Java 或其它 JetBrains IDE 开发的读者也能借鉴其中的编辑、导航、重构与调试技巧。

这本书要按顺序读完吗？

不必。作者把它定位为 Cookbook 式的工具手册，场景明确、步骤清晰，读者可以根据实际问题直接定位到相关章节查阅，更适合长期放在电脑旁随用随翻。
