Synopsis
DESCRIPTION
Android, Google's platform for mobile application development,
provides powerful features, a robust SDK, and almost limitless
possibilities. It's not hard to find the information a developer needs to
build a simple Android app, but then what?
Android in Practice is a treasure trove of Android goodness, with over
100 tested, ready-to-use techniques, covering the new Android 3.0
SDK, including complete end-to-end example applications and
practical tips for real world mobile application developers. Written by
seasoned Android developers, this book addresses the trickiest
questions raised in forums and mailing lists. Using an easy-to-follow
problem/solution/discussion format, it dives into important topics not
covered in other Android books, like advanced drawing and graphics,
testing and instrumentation, building and deploying applications, using
alternative languages, and native development.
