I've just 'started using' (i.e. pecking around at keys in an attempt to match the tutorials) Android Studio. It seems like a great IDE to me, but I've been using only VS for over fifteen years.

I'm looking for a good beginners to intermediate ebook that takes the novice from just beyond a single-activity "Hello world" and guides them forward with creating various views, services, and activitries and coordinating then to produce a working app.

Just BTW, I have as a first goal a one or two screen app than scans a QR code using the recommended ZXing library, then shows the user confirmation of the QR contents, and then sends that data to a web service. Sounds very easy, no? Not quite where I'm coming from.

I would really recommend some of the articles at http://www.codeproject.com/KB/android/#Android+Tutorial+Contest[^], especially those written by Peter Leow - Professional Profile - CodeProject[^].

Thanks. Peter's, and other, articles look like something I'll be perusing even before I finish this comment.

I knew absolutely nothing about Android before I read those, and I now have a working (but fairly basic) password keeper app on my phone.
