Nothing has helped me more with Android than a great Java book (Effective Java.) The rest you can read in the official Android docs or rip apart examples if thats your style. So far this looks like a nice marriage of all of those parts.

How about those who can't afford it? It's also truly a personal and private choice. I don't judge you because you are insane about getting shot up, thats your choice. Mine is to question face value headlines, see what's happening and make a
