Learning Android application programming

I have tried a bunch of different learn-Android books, and this one is by far the best. For my level (prior Java experience but relatively new to Android) it moves at a perfect pace (holding your hand through the Android API but not boring you with things like "what is a for loop").

I was excited about this book since it teaches the way I like to learn; building an application bit-by-bit and knocking out code.Don't expect to actually DO this, though.
