It provides you with few useful tips which help you in developing android applications. It provide information on how to handle exceptions and use log statements. It provides few android studio short cuts to resolve classes and refactoring code. It helps learn how to setup virtual device and test apps.

2. Exception Handling
 Android application exceptions can be
handled like other Java based
applications.
 While developing apps, you can check
console output from logcat monitor to
find out exceptions and take
appropriate action like fixing code,
showing a message to user.

3. Exception Handling
 Unhandled exceptions in your app,
thrown when your app runs on user
device, causes your app to crash.
 To analyze and fix these issues, you
need crash report from the device on
which your app is crashed.

4. Exception Handling
 You can add global exception handler to
each component to catch unhandled
exceptions and send it your server or to
you via email for analysis
 Or You can use libraries to handle
exceptions and get crash reports, like
ACRA library.

5. Logging
 You can use Log class to log messages.
 Log class has several methods to log
different level of information, for debug
Log.d,Log.e for error, Log.i for
information etc.
 It is a good practice to make sure that
debug statements are used only in
development.

6. Android Studio Tips
 To import classes, press Alt + Enter
pointing to the unresolved class.
 To remove unused imports, you can use
Ctrl + Alt + Enter.
 Use refactoring options to make code
changes like class signature, method
signature changes, parameter renaming
etc.

7. Testing
 You can test android apps on mobile
devices connected to computer via USB
or using android emulator.
 To create virtual device you can use
Android emulator tool (Tools > Android
> AVD Manager)
 Setup hardware acceleration to improve
the performance of virtual device
