Android is the open source revolution applied to cellular telephony andmobile computing. At least, part of the revolution. There have been manyother attempts to provide open source cell phones, most of them largelydefunct, ranging from the Openmoko FreeRunner to QT Embedded, Moblin, LiMo, Debian Mobile, Maemo, FireFox OS, Ubuntu Mobile to theopen sourced Symbian OS and the now-defunct HP WebOS.Lets not forget the established closed source stalwart ApplesiOS, and the two minor players (by market share), Microsoft Windows Mobile andthe recently-abandoned BlackBerry OS 10 (both of these havedeveloper toolkits, but their OS is not available as open source and oftenhas other click-wrap restrictions).
Amongst all these offerings, two stand out as major players.Android is definitely here to stay!This book is here to help the Android developer community share the knowledge that will help make better apps.Those who contribute knowledge here are helping to make Android development easier for those who come after.
Android is a mobile technology platform that provides cell phones, tablets, and other handheld and mobile devices (even netbooks) with the power and portability of the Linux operating system and the reliability and portability of a standard high-level language and API and a vast ecosystem of useful applications. Android apps are mostly written in the Java language, using tools such as Eclipse and Android Studio, compiled against the Android API, and translated into bytecode for an Android-specific VM.
Android is thus related by OS family to other Linux-based cell phone projects.Android is also related by programming language to BlackBerrys older Java ME phones, and to Java and the wider realm of Java Enterprise applications.Not to mention that all current Blackberry devices can run Android applications, and in fact Blackberrys newest devices only run Android.
Its now generally believed that Android has almost three-quarters of the world smartphone market, although it has not nearly displaced Apples iPad in the tablet market. Sales figures change all the time, but it is clear that Android is, and will remain, one of the dominant players in the mobile space.
This book was written by several dozen Android developers from the Android community at large. Development occurred in the open, on the website . I am deeply grateful to all the contributors, who have helped moved this book from a dream to the reality that you have in your hands (or on-screen if you are reading the ebook format). Thank you all!
This book focusses on building Android applications using Java, the native language of Android applications.It is of course possible to package up a web application as a mobile app (see [Link to Come]),but you will never get the all-important 100%-correct user experiencewith all the current features of Android that way.
So. Java.We assume you know the basics of the Java language. If not, see .
This book differs from the Android Samples assocated with the Android SDK in that it tries to focus moreon how a given piece of technology works, rather than by giving you (as the Samples do) a complete, working, examplethat has both been simplified (to use very simple data) but complicated by adding in several neatfeatures that are irrelevant to the problem at hand.
takes you through the steps of setting up the Android development environment and building several simple applications of the well-known Hello, World type pioneered by Brian Kernighan.
covers some of the differences in mobile computing that will hit developers coming from desktop and enterprise software environments, and talks about how mobile design (in particular, Android design) differs from those other environments.
Testing is often an afterthought for some developers, so we discuss this early on, in . Not so that youll skip it, but so that youll read and heed. We talk about unit testing individual components as well as testing out your entire application in a well-controlled way.
Android provides a variety of mechanisms for communicating within an application and across applications. In we discuss intents and broadcast receivers, services, AsyncTasks, and handlers.
covers a range of topics related to graphics, including use of the graphical drawing and compositing facilities in Android as well as using desktop tools to develop graphical images, textures, icons, and so on that will be incorporated into your finished application.
Every mobile app needs a GUI, so covers the main ins and outs of GUI development for Android. Examples are given both in XML and, in a few cases, in Java-coded GUI development.
[Link to Come] covers all the pop-up mechanismsmenus, dialogs, and toastsand one that doesnt pop up but is also for interaction outside your applications window, Androids notification mechanism.
Lists of items are very common in mobile applications on all platforms.[Link to Come] focuses on the list components in Android, the ListView and its newer replacement the RecyclerView.
Android is rich in multimedia capabilities. [Link to Come] shows how to use the most important of these.
[Link to Come] shows how to save data into files, databases, and so on. And how to retrieve it later, of course.Another communication mechanism is about allowing controlled access to data that is usually in an SQL database.This chapter also shows you how to make application data available to other applications through something as simplebut ubiquitous (in Android) as the URL, and how to use various cloud-based services to store data.
