Elements of Android Jetpack
version 0.3:
This update adds three new chapters:
"Adopting Fragments"
"Navigating Your App", covering the Navigation component from Jetpack
"Thinking About Threads and LiveData"
Plus, a number of bugs were fixed.
--
After a decade's worth of Android app development, 2018 debuted the second generation of Android app development techniques, highlighted by Jetpack and the AndroidX family of libraries.
This book follows in the footsteps of The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development, to introduce developers to Android app development, focusing on Jetpack. Here you will learn how to set up an Android app for Java or Kotlin, create a user interface, and more!
Right now, this book is in a very early "beta" state, so it only covers the first steps of Android app development. It should reach Version 1.0 in the first half of 2019, with more complete coverage. Subscribers also have access to The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development, which focuses on first-generation Android app development and offers a more complete look at Android programming.
This book is published in PDF, EPUB, and MOBI/Kindle formats, for use in your favorite digital book reader. You can also read it online from the Warescription site.

I am confused about how to give a proper review of this book. There are two perspectives we can take.
1. You are reading this book to learn something new
2. You are reading to refresh your Android, and you are an experienced developer of Android
If you come with perspective one, then I will not recommend this book. Instead, I will give 1 or 2-star ratings. From the book title, it looks like we learn about Jetpack, but this contains more than that, and I feel examples are okay, but Jetpack, I think, need one book for one library just like this author has a book on Room library.
If you come with perspective 2, then this book is strongly recommended. Instead, I start feeling I am away from Ongoing Android developments. So I decided to read this book in one day. I am an experienced developer of Android. There are more than 800 pages, and it took me around 10 hours to read all this book. But I am feeling good, and this book refreshes everything which I am expecting from this author. So if you already aware of the basics of Jetpacks libraries but due to some reasons you are not able to followup, then you can read this book and refresh everything and learn what the new changes are.

This book covers the fundamentals of the new Kotlin-based Android development and it's still being updated by CommonsWare regularly.
