About This Book The first-generation Android phones were released
in October 2008. As of June 2015, Android had 82.8% of the global
smartphone market share, compared to 13.9% for Apple and 2.6% for
Microsoft (http://
www.idc.com/prodserv/smartphone-os-market-share.jsp). Billions of
apps have been downloaded from Google Play and more than one
billion Android devices were shipped worldwide in 2014
(http://www.cnet.com/news/android-shipments-exceed-
1-billion-for-first-time-in-2014/). The opportunities for Android
app developers are enormous. This book presents leading-edge
computing technologies for professional software developers. At the
heart of the book is the Deitel app-driven approach-concepts are
presented in the context of complete working Android apps, rather
than using code snippets. The introduction and app test drives at
the beginning of each chapter show one or more sample executions.
The book's source code is available at
http://www.deitel.com/books/AndroidFP3. The apps in this book were
carefully designed to introduce you to key Android features and
APIs. You'll quickly learn everything you need to start building
Android apps-beginning with a test-drive of the Tip Calculator app
in Chapter 1, then building one new app in each of Chapters 2
through 9. By the time you reach Chapter 10, you'll be ready to
create your own apps for submission to Google Play and other app
marketplaces. You'll master the Google Play submission process,
including uploading your apps. You'll decide whether to sell your
apps or offer them for free, and learn how to market them via
social media and monetize them with in-app advertising, in-app
billing, virtual goods and more.
