Android Best Practices by Godfrey Nolan shows you how to make your
Android apps stand out from the crowd with great reviews. Why
settle for just making any Android app? Build a brilliant Android
app instead that lets your users praise it for ease of use, better
performance, and more. Using a series of example apps which
gradually evolve throughout this book, Android Best Practices
brings together current Android best practices from user interface
(UI)/user experience (UX) design, test-driven development (TDD),
and design patterns (e.g., MVC) to help you take your app to the
next level. In this book you'll learn how to: * Use Android design
patterns for consistent UI experience on many devices * Use agile
techniques such as test-driven development, behavior-driven
development, and continuous integration * Improve the speed and
overall performance of your app * Organize an Android app using
design patterns such as MVC/MVP * Create and consume REST and SOAP
web services Designing and developing an app that runs well on many
if not all the leading Android smartphones and tablets today can be
one of the most daunting challenges for Android developers. Well,
this book takes much of the mystery out of that for you. After
reading and using Android Best Practices, you'll become a much
better Android app designer and developer, which in turn can make
your apps better placed and more successful in the market place.
Augmented reality (AR) offers a live direct or indirect view of a
physical, real-world environment, where the elements and
surroundings are augmented by computer-generated sensory input such
as graphics and GPS data. It makes a game more real. Your social
media app puts you where want to be or go. Pro Android Augmented
Reality walks you through the foundations of building an augmented
reality application. From using various software and Android
hardware sensors, such as an accelerometer or a magnetometer
(compass), you'll learn the building blocks of augmented reality
for both marker- and location-based apps. Case studies are included
in this one-of-a-kind book, which pairs nicely with other Android
development books. After reading Pro Android Augmented Reality,
you'll be able to build augmented reality rich media apps or
integrate all the best augmented reality into your favorite Android
smartphone and/or tablet.What you'll learn * How to use most
Android cameras * How to find the user's location with GPS data *
How to detect movement and orientation of the device * How to
program against the accelerometer and compass * How to use the
AndAR library in marker recognition * How to create an artificial
horizon for your app * How to integrate the Google Maps API into AR
apps * How to build enterprise augmented reality apps using the
case studies in this book Who this book is for This book is for
Android developers familiar with Android programming, but new to
the camera, accelerometer, magnetometer and building augmented
reality applications in general. Table of Contents * Applications
of Augmented Reality * Basics of Augmented Reality on the Android
Platform * Adding Overlays * Artificial Horizons * Other Features
of Augmented Reality * A Simple App Using AR * A More Complex
Project Using More AR Features * A Project Using All AR Features *
An AR Game
