Programming Android: Java Programming For The New Generation Of Mobile Devices

Get thoroughly up to speed on Android programming, and learn how to create
up-to-date user experiences for both handsets and tablets. With this book's
extensively revised second edition, you'll focus on Android tools and
programming essentials, including best practices for using Android 4 APIs.
If you're experienced with Java or Objective-C, you'll gain the knowledge
necessary for building well-engineered applications.


Programming Android is organized into four parts:

   * Part One helps programmers with some Java or iOS experience get off
     to a fast start with the Android SDK and Android programming basics.
   * Part Two delves into the Android framework, focusing on user
     interface and graphics class hierarchies, concurrency, and databases.
     It's a solid foundation for understanding of how the most important
     parts of an Android application work.
   * Part Three features code skeletons and patterns for accelerating the
     development of apps that use web data and Android 4 user interface
     conventions and APIs.
   * Part Four delivers practical coverage of Android's multimedia,
     search, location, sensor, and account APIs, plus the Native
     Development Kit, enabling developers to add advanced capabilities.

This updated edition of Programming Android focuses on the knowledge and
developer priorities that are essential for successful Android development
projects.
