Real-World Android by Tutorials guides you through building one professional Android app using the most important architectures and libraries. Along the way, you'll get a solid foundation in Android development concepts so you can make informed decisions about how to apply them in your own codebase.

When developing a professional Android app, there are hundreds of options for libraries and possible architectures. Finding documentation is easy, but you might end up with an app structure that isn't ideal for your project.

Real-World Android by Tutorials helps you implement a real-world app from scratch, addressing critical problems like finding the right architecture, making the UI responsive and appealing and implementing efficient animations.
