I've got three Android books on my desk, plus 4 of Murphy's that I've downloaded. None of them do I consider to be even "adequate". "Pro Android 2" is maybe the best, but, eg, it contains major errors, and (bigger failure) fails (like the others) to give any sort of coherent description of the Android environment.
They're all mainly random collections of tutorials, "organized" by topic.
