Designing Apps for Android Devices

With the many versions of Android available today on hundreds, even thousands, of device types, just how do you build something that will look good on Android devices you’ve never seen? Is it possible to build an app that will look good on the newest devices and not look strange on your grandma’s phone from 2012? Luke Wallace clears a path through the jungle of Android-based hardware and takes on the fragmentation beast. See how his company, Bottle Rocket, one of the top mobile development companies, handles this challenge day-in-and-day-out—without compromising the experience. Luke shares the design principles that guide the Android team within Google itself, and will use a lot of hands-on exercises to get you thinking about your own app idea. No computer required, we will be doing things “low-fi” to iterate quickly and work in small teams to flesh out the best ideas. It’s not easy to build beautiful apps, but with a few guiding principles, you’ll be well on your way to a happy Android development team—and even happier customers.
