Introduction

Now is an exciting time for mobile developers. Mobile phones have never been more popular, and pow-

erful smartphones are now a regular choice for consumers. Stylish and versatile phones packing hard-

ware 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 applica-

tions, 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 soft-

ware development kit. Chapter by chapter, it takes you through a series of sample projects, each intro-

ducing 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 improve-

ments 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.

Whom This Book Is For

This book is for anyone interested in creating applications for the Android mobile phone platform. It

includes information that will be valuable, whether you’re an experienced mobile developer or making

your ﬁ rst foray, via Android, into writing mobile applications.

It will help if readers have used mobile phones (particularly phones running Android), but it’s not nec-

essary, nor is prior experience in mobile phone development. It’s expected that you’ll have some experi-

ence in software development and be familiar with basic development practices. While knowledge of

Java is helpful, it’s not a necessity.

Chapters 1 and 2 introduce mobile development and contain instructions to get you started in Android.

Beyond that, there’s no requirement to read the chapters in order, although a good understanding of the

core components described in Chapters 3 through 6 is important before you venture into the remaining

chapters. Chapters 7 through 11 cover a variety of optional and advanced functionality and can be read

in whatever order interest or need dictates.

What This Book Covers

Chapter 1 introduces Android, including what it is and how it ﬁ ts into existing mobile development.

What Android offers as a development platform and why it’s an exciting opportunity for creating

mobile phone applications are then examined in greater detail.

Chapter 2 covers some best practices for mobile development and explains how to download the

Android SDK and start developing applications. It also introduces the Android developer tools and

demonstrates how to create new applications from scratch.

Chapters 3 through 6 take an in-depth look at the fundamental Android application components.

Starting with examining the pieces that make up an Android application and its life cycle, you’ll quickly

move on to the application manifest and external resources before learning about “Activities,” their life-

times, and their life cycles.

You’ll then learn how to create User Interfaces with layouts and Views, before being introduced to

the Intent mechanism used to perform actions and send messages between application components.

Internet resources are then covered before a detailed look at data storage, retrieval, and sharing. You’ll

start with the preference-saving mechanism before moving on to ﬁ le handling and databases. This sec-

tion ﬁ nishes with a look at sharing application data using Content Providers.

Chapters 7 to 10 look at more advanced topics. Starting with maps and location-based services, you’ll

move on to Services, background Threads, and using Notiﬁ cations.

Android’s communication abilities are next, including sending and receiving messages through instant

messaging and SMS. Hardware is then covered, starting with media recording and playback, before

introducing the camera, accelerometers, and compass sensors. Chapter 10 concludes with a look at

phone and networking hardware, starting with telephony APIs and going on to Bluetooth and network

management (both Wi-Fi and mobile data connections).

Chapter 11 includes several advanced development topics, among them security, IPC, advanced graph-

ics techniques, and user–hardware interactions.

How This Book Is Structured

This book is structured in a logical sequence to help readers of different development backgrounds

learn how to write advanced Android applications.

There’s no requirement to read each chapter sequentially, but several of the sample projects are developed

over the course of several chapters, adding new functionality and other enhancements at each stage.

Experienced mobile developers with a working Android development environment can skim the ﬁ rst

two chapters — which are an introduction to mobile development and instructions for creating your

development environment — and dive in at Chapters 3 to 6. These cover the fundamentals of Android

development, so it’s important to have a solid understanding of the concepts they describe. With this
