About this title

Synopsis

HIGHLIGHT
Unlocking Android

is a developer-focused tutorial for the Android mobile operating

system. Loaded with practical examples, this easy-to-follow book presents

practical techniques that reach far beyond the Android documentation.

DESCRIPTION

Android is a free, open source, Java-based mobile platform developed by Google.

Unlocking Android prepares the reader to embrace the Android mobile platform

in easy-to-understand language and builds on this foundation with

reusable Java code examples. It’s ideal for corporate developers and hobbyists

who have an interest, or a mandate, to deliver mobile software.

The book first covers the big picture so the reader can get comfortable with the

Android approach to the mobile applications. Then the reader learns to apply

Android by following the many practical examples. The book concludes with

two deep and hands-on examples.

Unlocking Android addresses the Android application framework, its graphical

capabilities and media support, data storage, communications capabilities,

phone interactions, and notifications.

KEY POINTS

• Android is led by Google, based on Linux, and developed by the Open

Handset Alliance.

• Learn key techniques that apply both to corporate and hobbyist developers

• The writing is crisp, clear, and fun to read.

MARKET INFORMATION

Mobile development is hot. Unlike vendor-specific proprietary platforms,

Android can be readily customized by device manufacturers and software companies

looking to provide specific features. Any developer/independent software

vendor (ISV) with a product on one of the major platforms available today

(Palm, Windows Mobile, Blackberry, Symbian, J2ME) will consider porting

their code to Android and will benefit from this book.
