Editors Practical Programming

EditorsPPA is a volume in the Practical Programming Android series. It covers the creation of three editors. Pad is a standard text editor. MPad allows editing multiple files at once facilitating copy and paste between files. HPad is an HTML editor which will insert text for certain tags, and allow one to edit the file in an EditText, and then view the file in a WebView to see how it will render. You get complete source code and a detailed discussion of the source code. Precompiled APKs for the three editors are also included. PPA does not teach programming pre se, but rather supplements books that purport to do so by providing you with complete applications, rather than code snippets. Other volumes in the PPA series will cover games, ebooks, utilities, and anything else that sparks interest. It will provide a nice code base for anyone interested in learning Android programming. If you only want to dabble you can try tweaking some of the source code. If you have absolutely no interest in programming you can install the precompiled APKs and simply play the games, use the editors, and so on.
