12.6. Summary

The intent of the sample application was to tie together many things learned in previous chapters into a composite application. Our field service application has real-world applicability to the kind of uses an Android device is capable of bringing to fruition. Is this sample application production ready? Of course not, but almost! That, as they say, is an exercise for the reader.

Starting with a simple splash screen, this application demonstrates the use of Handlers and displaying images stored in the resources section of an Android project. Moving along to the main screen, a simple UI leads to different activities useful for launching various aspects of the realistic application.
