		I am learning to build apps in android. Most of the tutorials and even books I come across have quite small examples to follow, usually 2 activity files and 2 layout files. Honestly, the progress to build a substantial app is a bit slow because the projects are so small. It feels like being stuck as a beginner. Looking at examples of most apps, they are usually made up of 10+ class files serving the app. I want to know what resources are out there that help you make the move from learning to build an app by showing you the basics to something substantial with architecture and design patterns – not necessarily spelt out but present nonetheless. I want to know how you made the jump to 10+ files in a project, what resources are out there that lead you to get to that level?
