How to improve the design/UX skills of android applications?

Question

Android

Hello,
everywhere they say "follow google guidelines". How can you improve your design/UX skills, how to "feel" the guidelines? Can there be any literature or online courses (the same course)?

Answer 1

Start with "Design of Everyday Things" by D. Norman, "Design for Non-Designers" by R. Williams, "100 Design Principles" by Weinshank.
But then take Google for guidelines, believe me, after that they "feel" much better)
You can also read books on color theory and typography.

Answer 2

Print guidelines. Collapse the joint from the printout. smoke out. Feel... Joke.
In general, there is a lot of information on both Habrahabr and Geektimes. And in order to feel it, you need to apply it in your work. Consolidation of acquired knowledge by practice, so to speak. You can come up with a test task for yourself and try to do it according to Google's guidelines. Then look at the result, compare it with the well-known successful projects of other designers. And so in a circle.
