Android Database Programming: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Android Database Programming" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Exploit the power of data-centric and data-driven Android applications with this practical tutorial Master the skills to build data-centric Android applications Go beyond just code by challenging yourself to think about practical use-cases with SQLite and others Focus on flushing out high level design concepts, before drilling down into different code examples In Detail We live in an increasingly data-centric and data-driven world. On top of that we live in a very mobile-centric world with the rise of Android smart phones and tablet devices and the surge in demand for the Android platform. Along with the demand for more data, there is a demand for efficient, snappy applications, and so developers need to have a strong understanding of when different data storage methods are appropriate and when they are not. Mastering how to use these two fields to successfully create a powerful application will help you boost your knowledge and skills in this area. Android Database Programming is designed to help developers create and design data-centric mobile applications on Googles Android platform. As the world goes increasingly mobile and as consumers demand for data-centric applications rises, knowing how to combine the two effectively will become an increasingly important asset to have as a developer. The book starts by looking at the various local data storage methods on Android, and finishes off by examining external databases and ways you can utilize them from within an Android application. This book starts by looking at local data storage methods, focusing on writing SQLite databases for your application and also looking at ways to bind these databases to the user interface. The book, through its practical approach, strives to teach you by examples. Each chapter focuses on flushing out high level design concepts, before drilling down into different code examples.

About the Author

Jason Wei graduated from Stanford University in 2011 with a B.S. in Mathematical Computational Science, a minor in Statistics, and an M.S. in Management Science and Engineering with a concentration on Machine Learning. He spent his first two years in college with startups in Silicon Valley, and it was at his second startup (BillShrink, Inc) that he was introduced to Android.

Since then he has developed a handful of applications ranging from silly screen prank applications to serious financial pricing and modeling tools. He also enjoys working with APIs and competing in application development contests winning a number of contests hosted by companies like Google, MyGengo, IndexTank, amongst others. In addition to developing applications, Jason enjoys writing Android tutorials and sharing his own development experiences on his blog (thinkandroid.wordpress.com), and it was through his blog that he was first invited to be a technical reviewer for the book Learning Android Game Programming .

Jason is currently working as a quantitative trader in New York.

About the Reviewers

Joseph Lau is currently a graduate student at Stanford University, studying towards his M.S. in Computer Science. During his summers, he's interned at LinkedIn and Google in various technical positions. Android programming is a hobby of his, and he has written several Android applications. He believes mobile applications are a key component of technical innovation in the 21st century and thinks it's a great time to pick up Android programming if you haven't yet.

Preface

Today, we live in an increasingly data-centric and data-driven world. We live in a world where companies like Amazon track every item we view and every item we purchase so as to recommend similar products to us. We live in a world where companies like Google store every search query thrown at them so as to recommend better search queries in the future. We live in a world where social media sites like Facebook remember every event and every thought we share with our friends so as to better learn about each of their hundreds of millions of users. We live in an increasingly data-centric world, and so it's imperative that we develop applications with a data-centric perspective.

Take a look around you the growth of mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablets, has been explosive over the last couple of years. This book is meant to be an exploration of data and Android with a quick dive into the various methods the folks over at Google have built into the Android OS. This book not only strives to show you all the different data storage methods available, but also strives to illuminate the strengths and weaknesses of each method. By the end of this book, my goal is for you to be able to craft an efficient, well-designed, and scalable data-centric application.

What this book covers

, Storing Data on Android , focuses on all the different local data storage methods available on Android. It provides ample code examples of each storage method, as well as a comparison of the strengths and weaknesses of each.

, Using a SQLite Database , takes a deeper dive into the most complex and most commonly used form of local data storage the SQLite database by walking you through the implementation of a custom SQLite database.

, SQLite Queries , is designed to be a cursory overview of the SQL query language. It teaches the reader how to construct powerful database queries, which can then be used with any SQLite database.

, Using Content Providers , expands upon the previous SQLite database chapters by showing the reader how to expose his/her database to the entire Android OS through the use of content providers. It walks the reader through a full implementation of a content provider, and finishes with a brief discussion on benefits of making your data public.
