Very useful compilation Robin. There are so many Android development blogs online, itโs hard to know whatโs the best way to get started. And what most of the people don’t understand is that itโs essential to have good exposure to Java before you start learning development for Android. That way, everything from these Android tutorials
will make sense to them.
