Recommendations for Android programming resources [closed]

Question

I am working on getting familiar with the Android SDK and I have having a hard time getting the UI side of things figured out. I am trying to create a menu, kind of like how apps are listed in the market place or how the contact list works. Where I would have basically a list view and treat each item in the list as a button, so I can display information based on their selection.

Does anyone have any good examples/tutorials/guides/resources I can look at to try and get a better idea of how this works?

Thanks, Rob

Answer 1

Here is an example of a ListActivity showing a list and getting control when the user clicks on the list.

Here is an excerpt from one of my books showing how to make that list look more elaborate.

Here is a list of the available books on Android development (in the interests of full disclosure, I'm maintaining that list and I wrote a few of the books on it).

Here is a blog post I wrote with pointers to other resources for assistance, plus a guide for making best use of StackOverflow for Android questions.

There are also articles, some tutorials, and other samples out on developer.android.com.
