Now is an exciting time for mobile developers. Mobile phones have never been more popular, and powerful
smartphones are now a regular choice for consumers. Stylish and versatile phones packing hardware
features like GPS, accelerometers, and touch screens are an enticing platform upon which to create
innovative mobile applications.
Android hardware will be designed to tempt consumers, but the real win is for developers. With
existing mobile development built on proprietary operating systems that restrict third-party applications,
Android offers an open and equal alternative. Without artifi cial barriers, Android developers
are free to write applications that take full advantage of increasingly powerful mobile hardware. As a
result, developer interest in Android devices has made their 2008 release a hugely anticipated mobile
technology event.
Built on an open source framework, and featuring powerful SDK libraries and an open philosophy,
Android has opened mobile phone development to thousands of developers who haven’t had access to
tools for building mobile applications. Experienced mobile developers can now expand into the Android
platform, leveraging the unique features to enhance existing products or create innovative new ones.
This book is a hands-on guide to building mobile applications using version 1.0 of the Android software
development kit. Chapter by chapter, it takes you through a series of sample projects, each introducing
new features and techniques to get the most out of Android. It covers all the basic functionality
as well as exploring the advanced features through concise and useful examples.
Since Android is a brand-new, version 1 product, there are only a small number of handsets currently
available that support it. As with any early release, there are likely to be regular changes and improvements
to the software and development libraries. The explanations and examples included in this book
will give the grounding and knowledge you need to write compelling mobile applications using the
current SDK, along with the fl exibility to quickly adapt to future enhancements.
