Full Description
This practical book provides the concepts and code you need to develop
software with Android, the open-source platform for cell phones and
mobile devices that's generating enthusiasm across the industry. Based
on the Linux operating system and developed by Google and the Open
Handset Alliance, Android has the potential to unite a fragmented mobile
market. Android Application Development introduces this programming
environment, and offers you a working example -- complete with
extensions -- that demonstrates Android architectural features and APIs.
With this book, you will:
* Get a complete introduction to the Android programming
environment, architecture, and tools
* Build a modular application, beginning with a core module that
serves to launch modules added in subsequent chapters
* Learn the concepts and architecture of a specific feature set,
including views, maps, location based services, persistent data
storage, 2D and 3D graphics, media services, telephony services,
and messaging
* Use ready-to-run example code that implements each feature
* Delve into advanced topics, such as security, custom views,
performance analysis, and internationalization
The book is a natural extension of the existing Android documentation
provided by Google. Whether you want to develop a commercial application
for mobile devices, or just want to create a mobile mashup for personal
use, Android Application Development demonstrates how you can design,
build, and test applications for the new mobile market.
Android Application Development is still in progress, but you can get
going on this hot technology through our Rough Cuts edition, which lets
you read the manuscript as it evolves, either online or via PDF.
