Preface

The purpose of this book is to enable you to create well-engineered Android applications that go beyond the scope of small example applications.

This book is for people coming to Android programming from a variety of backgrounds. If you have been programming iPhone or Mac OS applications in Objective-C, you will find coverage of Android tools and Java language features relevant to Android programming that will help you bring your knowledge of mobile application development to Android. If you are an experienced Java coder, you will find coverage of Android application architecture that will enable you to use your Java expertise in this newly vibrant world of client Java application development. In short, this is a book for people with some relevant experience in object-oriented languages, mobile applications, REST applications, and similar disciplines who want to go further than an introductory book or online tutorials will take them.

How This Book Is Organized

where we build foundational knowledge for developing larger Android applications.

The central part of this book is an example of an application that uses web services to deliver information to the usersomething many applications have at their core. We present an application architecture, and a novel approach to using Androids framework classes that enables you to do this particularly efficiently. You will be able to use this application as a framework for creating your own applications, and as a tool for learning about Android programming.

In the final part of this book, we explore Android APIs in specific application areas: multimedia, location, sensors, and communication, among others, in order to equip you to program applications in your specific area of interest.

By the time you reach the end of this book, we want you to have gained knowledge beyond reference material and a walk-through of examples. We want you to have a point of view on how to make great Android applications.

I am eternally grateful to Terry, my wife, and Maija and Charles, my children, who gave me the time to do this. This book exists because our agent, Carole Jelen, at Waterside Productions, whipped our proposal material into shape, and because Mike Hendrickson kicked off the project within OReilly. Brian Jepson and Andy Oram, our editors, kept this large troupe of authors unified in purpose and result. Thanks to Johan van der Hoeven, who provided review comments that contributed much to accuracy and clarity. Thanks to all the reviewers who used the Open Feedback Publishing System to help make this a better book.

Laird Dornin

Thanks to my wonderful Norah for encouraging me to take part in this project, even though you had no idea of the amount of effort involved in writing a book. Cheers to trips to Acadia, trips to New Hampshire, and late nights writing. Im glad this book did not stall our truly important project, the arrival of our beautiful daughter Claire. Thanks to Andy our editor, and my coauthors for giving me this opportunity. Thanks to Larry for reviewing and enabling me to work on this project. Im glad that ideas I developed at SavaJe could find a voice in this book. Finally, thanks to our main reviewers Vijay and Johan, you both found solid ways to improve the content.
