Va bene sì e no come introduzione, ma sembra un'accozzaglia di concetti buttati lì per far vedere un'applicazione.

Passa da Fragment e ActionBar (ottimo, per un tablet, ma comunque vengono a malapena introdotti) a sms e mappe (molti tablet non hanno né 3g né gps...).

Le spiegazioni sono lacunose e spesso incomplete. A un principiante lascia forse più dubbi che certezze, perché la maggior parte degli attributi usati nei file XML, per esempio, non vengono nemmeno descritti.

Credo di poter consigliare di lasciarlo sullo scaffale e valutare qualcos'altro.

Pretty much exactly the same as "Beginning Android 4 Application Development", also by Wei-Meng Lee. Read "Beginning Android 4" over this one, it's really, really good, and there's almost nothing specific to tablets in here.

decent intro to android programming, but really there not much here specific to tablets... didn't learn much beyond what I got from online tutorials.
