Android_Development programming { UPPOG2 } torrents

Android is everywhere. Phones. Tablets. TVs and set-top boxes powered by
Google TV. Soon, Android will be in cars and all sort of other places as well.
However, the general theme of Android devices will be smaller screens
and/or no hardware keyboard. And, by the numbers, Android will probably
be most associated with smartphones for the foreseeable future.

When you write a desktop application, you are "master of your own
domain". You launch your main window and any child windows – like
dialog boxes – that are needed. From your standpoint, you are your own
world, leveraging features supported by the operating system, but largely
ignorant of any other program that may be running on the computer at the
same time. If you do interact with other programs, it is typically through an
API, such as using JDBC (or frameworks atop it) to communicate with
MySQL or another database.
Android has similar concepts, but packaged differently, and structured to
make phones more crash-resistant.

Thanks for your interest in developing applications for Android!
Increasingly, people will access Internet-based services using so-called
"non-traditional" means, such as mobile devices. The more we do in that
space now, the more that people will help invest in that space to make it
easier to build more powerful mobile applications in the future. Android is
new – Android-powered devices appeared on the scene first in late 2008 –
but it likely will rapidly grow in importance due to the size and scope of the
Open Handset Alliance.
And, most of all, thanks for your interest in this book! I sincerely hope you
find it useful and at least occasionally entertaining.

Here is what's coming in the rest of this book:
The next two chapters are designed to get you going quickly with the
Android environment, through a series of step-by-step, tutorial-style
instructions for setting up the tools you need, creating your first project,
and getting that first project running on the Android emulator.
The three chapters that follow try to explain a bit more about what just
happened in those first two chapters. We examine the Android project that
we created, talk a bit more about Eclipse, and discuss some things we could
add to the project to help it run on more devices and such.
The bulk of the book is exploring various capabilities of the Android APIs –
how to create components like activities, how to access the Internet and
local databases, how to get your location and show it on a map, and so
forth.
