Smashing Series Smashing Android UI Juhani Lehtimaki 978-1-118-38728-3 / 1-118-38728-7 384 pp. Pub: 29/10/12 Web Site Development Android is currently the hottest thing in technology. Smashing Android UI will help Android developers create successful apps that work intuitively and are easy to use.

Good User Interface design can be the difference between an app that takes off and an app that gathers dust on the mobile dashboard. Many developers without design experience produce apps that fail because they are not intuitive to use and don’t provide a pleasant experience for the user. Many of these pitfalls can be avoided by using Responsive design and UI Design Patterns.

Smashing Android UI introduces responsive User Interface design for Android and explains how to build applications that will work well on all Android phones and tablets. The book will also give the reader a set of Android UI design patterns to help them approach common problems in their app design.

By explaining how to correctly utilise Android tools, the developer will learn how best to approach Android fragmentation and how to design and build apps that scale to the multitude of Android devices (over 600 different combinations of Android devices and browsers).

Starting with how to use simple components and then moving on to explain how to build scalable layouts, the book will then demonstrate how to scale it up with a responsive approach, introducing adaptive layouts and fragments. Finally, the reader will learn UI design patterns, a set of tools that developers without design experience can use to solve the problems that can be encountered in app design.

Juhani Lehtimäki is a developer with more than 10 years’ experience in Java. He works as an Android developer with design and front-end focus in a carrier’s Android team, building some of the most used apps in the German Android market.
