Which book would you recommend to start developing Android Apps?

Question

I'm seeking a book to begin developing Android apps for both inexperienced and experienced programmers.  I've used Unity a bit in the past which is a video game development platform which also ports to mobile platforms but I would like to look into writing apps natively on Android. Are there any books or book sets that any one could recommend?
