Foreword / How to read this doc

This document was written for developers who have worked with Java™ 

before and want  to  start  developing for  the Android Platform. I tried to 

make  this  as  much  “hands  on”  as  possible,  placing  example  codes

everywhere  it  fit.  Also  I  tried  to  insert  as  many  picture  as  possible, 

because they liven up the learning process and relax the reader’s eyes.

But  unfortunately    coding  is  not  everything;  one  has  to  learn  about 

some  basic  facts  of  the  Android  Platform  to  fully  understand.  That  is 

what is described on the first  ~XXX  pages. It is not necessary to read all 

those describing pages, but it is preferable. You could decide to treat it as 

a kind of  reference. What you would read there is also explained when it 

occurs during the “hands on”-process.  So you could directly start at Hello 

World – The Android Way.

All  codes  you  see  in  this  document  (the  whole  workspace)  will  be 

available on:
