I have this book and find it fairly useful, for the money it tells you what you need to know.
As long as you're working with the Android 2.x Api's it's alright (but, not great). The code in the book is a problem as the most recent version of the ADT complains about some of the examples. The shared preferences examples don't work well without some tweaking. If you try to follow the examples exactly on an Android 4 device / image; you will run into problems. These problems are easily resolved by either thinking about what's going on instead of blind copying what's stated. And in one case look on Stackoverflow etc...
