Android Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide is an introductory Android book for programmers with Kotlin experience.

This book focuses on practical techniques for developing apps in Kotlin compatible with Android 7.0 (Nougat) through Android 12 and beyond.
Write and run code every step of the way, using Android Studio to create apps that integrate with other apps, download and display pictures from the web, store data in databases, and more. Learn about the latest patterns and techniques, including Kotlin coroutines and Jetpack Compose, a new way to build Android UIs. Each chapter and app has been designed and tested to provide the knowledge and experience you need to get started in Android development.
