I can't honestly say that I know of too many good sources for Android tutorials.
F-Droid keeps a list of open source apps. While real apps are going to be a bear to read, might as well start with the real stuff after working through the basics, right? Real apps won't cut corners like those tutorials do, and you'll get a full story, http://f-droid.org/repository/browse/ I also generally think the API demos are pretty good at illustrating things. As far as other tutorials, I think Mark Murphy's books are fairly good, and I think those are a lot quicker way to learn things about the Android ecosystem as a whole (considering that Mark seems to have guides covering most topics that even tangentially relate to programming Android apps)... kris On Tue, Jun 5, 2012 at 12:05 AM, Jason Hsu <[email protected]> wrote: > What are your favorite Android development tutorial apps?
