Design and implement Android apps that interface with your own custom hardware circuits and the BeagleBone Black
About This Book- Design custom apps that interact with the outside world via BeagleBone Black
- Modify Android to recognize, configure, and communicate with sensors, LEDs, memory, and more
- A step-by-step guide full of practical Android app examples that will help the users to create Android controlled devices that will use BeagleBone as hardware
If you are an Android app developer who wants to experiment with the hardware capabilities of the BeagleBone Black platform, then this book is ideal for you. You are expected to have basic knowledge of developing Android apps but no prior hardware experience is required.
In DetailThis book explores using the Android OS on the BeagleBone Black hardware platform and provides an introduction to Androids unique approach to hardware interfacing. Youll be walked through the process of installing and configuring Android on your BeagleBone Black, as well as preparing your PC development environment to create Android applications that directly interface with hardware devices. Several example projects within this book introduce you to using the GPIO, SPI, and I2C hardware interfaces of the BeagleBone Black.
Youll create Android apps that communicate directly with actual hardware components such as sensors, memory chips, switches, and LEDs. Step-by-step guidance through both the software and hardware portions of these projects is provided. Combining all of the previous projects into a single project that uses GPIO, SPI, and I2C together, you will explore the details of creating an advanced hardware interfacing app. Finally, youll be provided with information on transitioning prototype code into code suitable for deployment on an Android-based device. With a variety of example apps that demonstrate key hardware communication concepts, this book will help you become an Android hardware interfacing pro in no time.

Andrew Henderson has over 15 years of experience developing software for the Linux desktop and embedded Linux and Android systems. He is currently a PhD candidate at Syracuse University, with research interests in the areas of system security and dynamic analysis. He maintains multiple open source projects for the BeagleBoard and BeagleBone platforms.
I want to thank Cheryl, Olivia, and my father for all of their encouragement and support during the time that I spent researching and writing the material for this book. I would also like to thank Dr. Heng Yin, Dr. Wenliang Du, and Dr. Ehat Ercanli of Syracuse University for lending their knowledge and guidance to my Android OS and BeagleBone/BeagleBoard research.
Aravind Prakash is a PhD candidate at Syracuse University. His interests lie in system and mobile security, with emphasis on program analysis. He has published in multiple top-tier computer-security conferences. He brings with him over a decade of programming experience from companies such as Microsoft, McAfee, and FireEye.
Nathan Burles is a post-doctoral researcher with a PhD in computer science. He is currently working for the University of York, on subjects as diverse as artificial neural networks and dynamic, adaptive, and automated software engineering.
In his free time, he enjoys tinkering with embedded systems and electronics, ranging from full systems such as the Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone Black to simple microcontrollers such as the Arduinoadding circuitry to communicate using 433MHz RF and infrared.
Nathan blogs about his projects as well as topics including website development, Android, and dancing at http://www.nburles.co.uk.
Guy Carpenter is a software developer and veteran hacker. He has contributed code to the BeagleBone, Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and Chumby Hackers Board communities. He owns Clearwater Software in Brisbane, Australia.
Anuj Deshpande adores the Beaglebone Black and all things embedded with Linux. He is an active part of the local hackerspace, Doo, in Pune, and regularly hosts meet-ups on a variety of topics.
Some of the projects that he has been a part of are Userspace Arduino, PixHawk Fire, and Tah. He was an intern at Beagleboard.org, Oneirix Labs, as well as 3D Robotics for a brief period of time. Anuj completed his bachelor's degree in computer science from PICT, Pune.

The broad availability of Android-based devices has generated a large amount of interest in developing software applications, or apps, that target Android. Luckily, a powerful and low-cost hardware platform is available that allows you to quickly and easily test your apps on real hardware: the BeagleBone Black. With a focus on small size and a wide variety of expansion and interfacing opportunities, the BeagleBone Black provides a lot of processing power at a very low price. It also provides an opportunity to app developers that once belonged only to those that were expert hardware hackers or owners of expensive hardware development kits: the chance to write Android apps that interact with custom hardware circuits.
Whether you are brand new to hardware interfacing or a seasoned expert, Android for the BeagleBone Black provides you with the tools that you need to begin creating Android apps that communicate directly with your custom hardware. From the very beginning, this book will help you understand Android's unique approach to hardware interfacing. You will install and customize Android, build circuits that interface with your BeagleBone Black platform, and build native code and Android apps that use that hardware to communicate with the outside world. By sequentially working through the examples in each chapter, you will learn how to create multithreaded apps that are capable of interfacing with multiple hardware components simultaneously.
Once you have explored the variety of example circuits and apps in this book, you will be well on your way toward becoming an Android hardware interfacing pro!
