Question

Java

What you need to know in java for android development? Will Herbert Schildt be enough for android?

Answer 1

There is no need to know anything about it, anyway, study everything along the way, just as if you were writing under Desktop.
But, of course, experience does not hurt, skills in working with the IDE and a few standard classes (there are very few of them) will speed up the study of Android.
And if you originally programmed in C # on Windows Desktop, then it will be easier for you to switch from a convenient and simple IDE to complex and fancy ones, such as Eclipse and Android Studio. Also, C# on Windows Desktop has the best tools for GUI, etc., you can take a lot from there and apply it on Android, you can write your own framework slowly, RAD's "Sharp" concepts will help speed up development (unless, of course, you need it - and your employers not against it, otherwise some are afraid, this is the fear of everything new).
Personally, I solve such issues depending on how urgently I need to start earning money in this direction.
Now I'm mastering Apple, I already have enough money to live on, so I'm not in a hurry.
And when I was just starting (I was just mastering Android), I did not wait for the weather by the sea.
It also matters what exactly you will do on Android.
Maybe it's game development, everything is different there.
But reading Herbert Schildt and any other book is of no use at all, since without personal experience you won’t really learn or remember anything from there.

I decided to create programs in Java, but I don't know what topics I should learn first. What topics do you recommend studying first? - java-help.ru/i-want-to-develop-android-apps-2

Answer 3

A year and a half ago, I asked myself the same question.
Before JAva did not touch. But take a book, write first according to the book - as it is more convenient for you, repeating the lessons from the book or doing your application in parallel.
And then, when you meet something that is not in the book on stackoverflow or stupidly in Google. Fortunately, there is a lot of information in all languages ​​for android. And how to work with the network and with the database, push notifications, etc. etc.
