Recently I had the opportunity and time to read a nice book related to native Android UI development: Android User Interface Development (Beginner's Guide) by Jason Morris - Packt Publishing.
Since the book itself claims to be a Beginner's guide it offers a very good hands on approach to learning Android UI development. A really useful and practical guide tο take уου step-bу-step through thе process οf developing user interfaces tο gеt уουr applications noticed.
Definitely a good read for both the beginner or for the Java developer who want to take its Android development skills one step further. You will not find informations like how to setup your IDE and development environment, it's all code, samples and tips... directly to the point:
Working through examples, code-snippets, and screenshots this book introduces the fundamentals of good user-interface design from a developer's point of view. This book will put you above the rest by showing you how to build striking user interfaces to grasp your app users' attention enough to make them shell out some bucks to buy your application.

Thanks to the Forum Nokia Champion Programme I just got my complimentary copy of the Qt for Symbian book. I really look forward to take a closer look at Qt and hope this book will help me moving first steps!
I would like to mention that along with the launch of the Nokia N8 Nokia has also released the Nokia Qt SDK Beta. The Nokia N8 is the company's first device to be integrated with Qt, a cross-platform software development environment. Qt simplifies development and makes it possible to build applications once, then deploy them across Symbian and other software platforms.
