Un buon manuale che introduce buona parte degli elementi delle UI Android, e soprattutto che evidenzia bene le novità introdotte con Honeycomb e IceCreamSandwich.
Purtroppo a volte esagera un po' cercando di coprire argomenti non direttamente correlati alla UI, rubando spazio che sarebbe potuto essere utile per approfondire maggiormente alcuni widget.
