Android continues to be one of the leading mobile OS and development platforms driving today's mobile innovations and the apps ecosystem. Android appears complex, but offers a variety of organized development kits to those coming into Android with differing programming language skill sets. Android Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach, Second Edition guides you step-by-step through a wide range of useful topics using complete and real-world working code examples. It's updated to include latest Jelly Bean Android SDK as well as earlier releases. In this expanded edition, * You'll start off with a recap of Android architecture and app fundamentals, and then get down to business and build an app with Android SDK 4.1 version or earlier release at the command line and Eclipse. * Next, you'll learn how to accomplish practical tasks pertaining to the user interface, communications with the cloud, device hardware, data persistence, communications between applications, and interacting with Android itself.* Finally, you'll learn how to leverage various libraries and Scripting Layer for Android (SL4A) to help you perform tasks more quickly, how to use the Android NDK to boost app performance, and how to design apps for performance, responsiveness, seamlessness, and more. Instead of abstract descriptions of complex concepts, in Android Recipes, you'll find live code examples. When you start a new project, you can consider copying and pasting the code and configuration files from this book, then modifying them for your own customization needs. This can save you a great deal of work over creating a project from scratch What you'll learn * Discover Android architecture and various Android-specific APIs * How to develop a unit conversion app in the context of command-line/Android SDK and Eclipse/Android SDK environments * How to accomplish various tasks related to the user interface and more * How to use external libraries to save time and effort * How to quickly develop an app using the Scripting Layer for Android (SL4A) tool * How to boost app performance by using the Android NDK * Guidelines for designing filtered apps, performant apps, responsive apps, and seamless apps Who this book is for This book is a handy reference for all Android app developers. Newcomers may also find this of interest, too.
