Android in Action, 3rd edition, which I co-authored together with Frank Ableson, Robi Sen and Chris King, is out!

You can order it online (see Amazon), or visit your favorite bookstore.

Order one, order two, order three copies!

Give a copy to your favorite developer — a great present for Christmas. She/he will thank you. ;-)

And if you are in Austin, I will even sign it for you!


Writing a book is a lot of work — takes a lot of time, effort and coordination.

This book turned out to be pretty massive and informative. It covers all you need to know about Android development, from the basics such as application components to the latest Android concepts and APIs such as Fragments, the new holographic Action Bar and Drag-and-Drop.

I hope you find this book useful…
