Welcome to the open-sourceCodepath Android Cliffnotes! Our goal is to become thecentral crowdsourced resource for complete and up-to-date Android content and tutorials.Just take me to the notes!

We have guides for everyone whether you arebeginner, intermediate or advanced. Want to learn how touse the ActionBar or theins and outs of fragments? We got that. Want to learnabout testing or how tobuild flexible user interfaces for multiple devices? We got you covered. We don't waste time with the "theoretical approach" from a book. We coverexactly the things we use every day as we are developing apps for contracts.

Need Help? Please join thegoogle groups for these guides where you can post related questions.

Ever beenfrustrated finding information on outdated one-off blog posts and tutorials that has since become irrelevant? How many times have you been googling only to find your answer on a2 year old Stack Overflow post? We believe there's got to be a better way. Why not have a community to work together in creating useful and detailed documentation for every aspect of Android development(or any platform)?
