Overview
Capturing more than half of the global smartphone market,
Google’s Android mobile platform offers a vibrant and growing
marketplace for developers. In this book, Android programming
expert Chris Haseman shows you how to use the powerful set of
Android tools to begin writing the next generation of Android
applications. Chris provides a complete introduction to developing
for Google’s mobile OS, offering tons of insights and
hard-earned advice. After a tour of how to install and configure
the Android SDK and Eclipse IDE, you jump right in, building your
first Android project. Chris starts off with how to use the major
building blocks to create an intuitive and good-looking interface.
Next, he shows you how to retrieve data and how to use lists to
display data. Chris then explores how to use
services—important, and often under-utilized, components of
the Android platform. Chris examines how to handle media and
location services before showing you how to write applications for
the Android ecosystem.
