Preface

Welcome to Instant Android Systems Development How-to . This book provides a gentle introduction to the Android Operating System internals. If you've ever wondered about how Android works under the hood, then this book is for you. I have often wondered about this question, and I had to spend hours digging through thousands of lines of code to understand what Android really is. This book is a collection of my experiences working with this platform for more than three years now, and I hope it will ease the learning curve of Android systems development. Readers can instead focus on the core concepts and get started on building useful Android modifications in a short span of time. This book will get you started on building you own Android version. The book is comprehensive as it covers every aspect of Android systems development, right from downloading the source code, to flashing custom-built code on real devices.

What this book covers

Building Android gets you up to speed on downloading the Android source code and building it. This is a rite of passage for many aspiring Android systems developers, and this recipe will help you along that journey.

Source code organization and system startup is explained, as the Android code base is huge and effective development includes knowing your way around this code. The initial parts of these recipes introduce the reader to various parts of the source code. The later parts of these recipes describe in detail how Android boots.

Common design patterns in Android systems development covers the common patterns of systems code in Android. Knowing these patterns is crucial to developing high quality code. It also saves effort by describing several best practices.

Creating system servers recipes guide you through a complete example of creating a custom system server, which is one of the most basic design patterns in Android systems development. Everything from creating a basic interface file to adding the code to the existing bootup sequence is covered.

Analyzing Android system partitions explains the organization of system partitions on the Android emulator and several real devices. This knowledge is a prerequisite for learning how to correctly flash new OS builds to devices safely.

Compiling for a specific device understands that most readers will want to test their code in real devices; however, getting a build right for a particular device takes some experimentation and risk. This recipe aims to eliminate that risk by guiding the reader through well-defined steps to get a correct build.
