It doesn't appear that there are very many tutorials at the Android Developer site. And the ones that I have read so far are pretty lightweight. So I'm thinking that I should get an Android book for when I've completed the tutorials.
Looking over the books at Amazon for Android app development (here's a good search for that), I'm thinking I want a gentle, guided approach instead of a heavy reference manual type book. Checking out ratings, reviews, and how recent the books are, I decided to try Hello, Android: Introducing Google's Mobile Development Platform, Third Edition, by Ed Burnette. It covers audio and video support, 2D and 3D graphics, web pages and web services, storing data, and publishing to Android Market.
What really sold me were the reviews that said you could learn Android in just a few days with this book, that it's easy enough to read in a weekend. Now I have no intention of doing that. I want to take my time and let things sink in. And I'm not spending a lot of time per day on this project. But I do want to take an easy learning curve, and this book sounds like it's got that.
