Take your Android applications to the next level of interactivity
by exploring the wide variety of Android sensors About This Book *
Get a thorough understanding of the fundamentals and framework of
Android sensors. * Acquire knowledge of advance sensor programming,
and learn how to connect and use sensors in external devices such
as the Android Watch, Polar heart rate monitors, Adidas speed
cells, and so on. * Learn from real-world sensor-based applications
such as the Pedometer app to detect daily steps, the Driving app to
detect driving events, and the Professional Fitness tracker app to
track heart rate, weight, daily steps, calories burned, and so on.
Who This Book Is For This book is targeted at Android developers
who want to get a good understanding of sensors and write
sensor-based applications, or who want to enhance their existing
applications with additional sensor functionality. A basic
knowledge of Android development is required What You Will Learn *
Learn about sensor fundamentals, different types of sensors, and
the sensor co-ordinate system * Understand the various classes,
callbacks, and APIs of the Android Sensor framework * Check all the
available sensors on an Android device and know their individual
capabilities-for example, their range of values, power consumption,
and so on. * Implement sensor fusion using two or more sensors
together and learn to compensate for the weakness of one sensor by
using the strength of another * Build a variety of sensor based,
real-world applications such as Weather, Pedometer, Compass,
Driving Events Detection, Fitness Tracker, and so on. * Get to know
about wake up and non-wake up sensors, wake locks, and how to use
sensor batch processing along with the sensor hardware FIFO queue *
Develop efficient battery and processor algorithms using raw sensor
data to solve real-world problems * Connect to a variety of remote
sensors such as body weight measurement and body fat percentage
measurement using the Google Fit platform from your Android app In
Detail Android phones available in today's market have a wide
variety of powerful and highly precise sensors. Interesting
applications can be built with them such as a local weather app
using weather sensors, analyzing risky driving behavior using
motion sensors, a fitness tracker using step-counter sensors, and
so on. Sensors in external devices such as Android Watch, Body
Analyzer & Weight Machine, Running Speed Cell, and so on can
also be connected and used from your Android app running on your
phone. Moving further, this book will provide the skills required
to use sensors in your Android applications. It will walk you
through all the fundamentals of sensors and will provide a thorough
understanding of the Android Sensor Framework. You will also get to
learn how to write code for the supportive infrastructure such as
background services, scheduled and long running background threads,
and databases for saving sensor data. Additionally, you will learn
how to connect and use sensors in external devices from your
Android app using the Google Fit platform. By the end of the book,
you will be well versed in the use of Android sensors and
programming to build interactive applications. Style and approach A
step-by-step and easy-to-follow guide that focuses on utilizing
sensors to perform certain tasks. After covering the fundamentals
in the first chapter, the book develops the concepts by building a
real-world, sensor-based application in subsequent chapters.
