Theres a downside to Androids amazing openness and versatility: its easy for developers to write code thats inefficient, unreliable, insecure, or hard to maintain. In Android Development Patterns , enterprise Android developer Phil Dutson helps you leverage Android 5.0+s amazing power without falling victim to those pitfalls. Dutson presents todays most comprehensive set of patterns and procedures for building optimized, robust apps with Android 5.0+.

First, Dutson guides you through establishing a highly efficient development environment and workflow, and testing your app to ensure that your code works just as you expect. Then, he walks through the modern best practices for structuring apps, using widgets and components, and working with views.

You learn how to build apps that are easy to manage and update, deliver accurate and up-to-date information without wasting precious battery power, and take advantage of new hardware, such as Android Wear and Android TV. Dutson concludes by presenting powerful strategies for optimizing your apps and packaging them for distribution.

Coverage includes

  • Using testing to build more trustworthy, dependable, maintainable apps
  • Understanding subtle but critical differences between Android and traditional Java programming
  • Building consistent, modern user interfaces with views and layouts
  • Leveraging the proven MVC pattern to cleanly organize logic
  • Creating rich visual experiences with 3D graphics, animation, and media
  • Simplifying capture and use of location data with the new Locations API
  • Integrating optional hardware, such as Bluetooth, NFC, or USB
  • Building better apps with Google Play Services
  • Creating Android Wear notifications and apps
  • Tuning and improving apps with Google Analytics
  • Designing Android TV apps for the ten foot view

Preface

The growth of Android since the launch of Cupcake has been astonishing. Today, Android powers more than just mobile phones; it has become the go-to solution for manufacturers of audio equipment, tablets, televisions, cars, and more.

As the use of Android becomes more prevalent, the demand for developers who are familiar with using it has also scaled. Developers who understand how the system can be built, leveraged, and used are necessary to provide the next wave of amazing and must-have applications.

Many people around the world are being introduced to Android for the first time, and we as developers need to make sure to provide them with a first-class experience that will put a smile on their face and help them understand how truly amazing the Android system is.

Why Development Patterns?

In the fast-paced world of development, patterns are the time-saving solutions that developers use and access to maximize their output and minimize time wasted creating a solution that will ultimately fail.

Android development is a special place that is both familiar and foreign to many Java and object-oriented programmers. The relationship it has with the Java language and structure helps to bring in developers who have experience and get them up to speed in an almost effortless manner. However, there are some optimizations and memory-handling techniques that are not optimal for the seasoned Java developer.

This particular book is the bridge that helps seasoned developers understand the Android way of building and thinking. It is written so that those new to Android development gain a foundation for the platform and how to work with the many facets and intricacies that Android brings to the table while giving some in-depth hints and strategies that advanced developers will need to make their app a success.

Who Should Read This Book?

Anyone interested in how Android development works should find this book enjoyable and helpful. Those just beginning their Android journey may not find this as complete of a volume, but some development experience will help; however, those who are tenacious and dont mind getting elbows-deep should find this to be an acceptable companion on their quest toward their perfect app.

Those who are interested in seeing only theoretical development patterns with large explanations about individual bit-shifting and hand-tuning memory management will be disappointed in that this book instead focuses on how Android works together piece-by-piece with example snippets that help solidify how things should be accomplished in a best-practices manner.

Getting Started

For those new to developing Android applications, the minimum requirement is a computer running either OS X, Windows, or Linux. On these systems, you should download Android Studio from http://developer.android.com/sdk/. Android Studio comes with the Android SDK.

Full use of the Android SDK requires downloads of the version and sample code for which you want to develop. Although you can certainly download only a specific version of Android, you should download all versions of Android on which you want your app to work.
