In 2004, Android was two people who wanted to build camera software. But they couldnt get investors interested. Today, Android is a large team at Google, shipping an operating system (including camera software) to over three billion devices worldwide.This is the inside story, told by the people who made it happen.What are the essential ingredients that lead a small team to build software at the sheer scale and impact of Android? We may never fully know, but this first person account is probably the closest set of clues we have.Dave Burke, VP of Android EngineeringAndroids captures a strong picture of what the early development of Android, as well as the Android team, was like.Dianne Hackborn, Android Framework EngineerAndroids is the engaging tale of a motley group of coders with a passion to make insanely great products who banged out the operating system when that idea seemed nuts.True to his geek genes, Chet Haase tells this remarkable tale of technical and business success from the trenches, an inspiring, massive collective effort of dozens of programmers who flipped their seemingly late timing to their advantage, and presaged a generation of platform builders. Read Androids to discover what it takes to create a hot tech team that shipped a product running today on more than 3 billion devices.Jonathan Littman, co-author of The Entrepreneurs Faces: How Makers, Visionaries and Outsiders Succeed, and author of The Fugitive Game

Introduction

I n mid-May of 2010 I walked into building 44 on the Google campus for my - photo 5

I n mid-May of 2010, I walked into building 44 on the Google campus for my first day on the Android team. Not far from my desk were at least a half-dozen machines for brewing a wide variety of great, strong coffee. I was surprised at the focus on caffeine, but not for long.

The team was finishing up one release in parallel. Both were difficult, time-consuming, and critical as we tried to make Android relevant in the crowded smartphone market at that time. There was a constant feeling of racing furiously toward a goal, doing whatever we could to reach it and not knowing if we would. The pace was frantic, but the work was exhilaratingand not just because of the caffeine. The excitement came from being on a team singularly dedicated to its purpose, no matter how much effort it took.

Working on Android was a stark difference from where my career began.

I started my work life with a nine-to-five job at a conservative old firm in Minnesota. The company relied on people sticking around for their entire careers and beyond, offering retirees a free turkey every Thanksgiving. I was all set; I just needed to clock in my forty hours a week and rise slowly through the ranks until I was ready for my retirement and my turkey.

Within a year, I was bored out of my mind, and within two Id left for graduate school, to reboot my skills into something I actually enjoyed: computer Sun Microsystems, where I thrived for the next couple of years until another interesting job beckoned.

I spent the next several years moving from company to company as other jobs, technologies, and people offered a continually shifting variety in my tech life. I worked at Sun (a few different times), Anyware Fast (a contracting company started by a couple of friends), DimensionX (an early web startup acquired by Microsoft), Intel, Rendition (a 3D chip startup acquired by Micron), and Adobe.

My father, who retired from the U.S. Navy after 21 years, was never comfortable with my frequent job changes. What about a pension? What about job security? What about stability for my family?

What he didnt see was that this was the way things were, and are, in Silicon Valley, and increasingly in high tech everywhere. For every job I started, I built a new set of skills that contributed to future prospects and products. That same attitude, and reality, applies to all of the engineers shifting between tech firms; were building skills that well continue to draw from as we move around creating all kinds of products. Its exactly these diverse backgrounds that contribute much-needed skills to new projects, to tackle unknown problems and deliver innovative solutions.

In 2010, another opportunity presented itself. UI toolkit team in Building 44 on the Google campus in Mountain View and started working harder than I ever had before.
