Android app-driven approach
Welcome to the dynamic world of Android smartphone and tablet app development with the Android Software Development Kit (SDK), the JavaTM programming language and the rapidly evolving Android Studio Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Many of the Android techniques we present also apply to Android Wear and Android TV app development, so after reading this book, you’ll be well prepared to investigate developing apps for these platforms. Android 6 for Programmers: An App-Driven Approach presents leading-edge mobile computing technologies for professional software developers. In our app-driven approach, we present concepts in complete working Android apps, rather than using code snippets. Chapters 2–9 each present one app. Each chapter begins with an introduction to the app, an app test-drive showing one or more sample executions and an overview of the technol- ogies we used to build the app. Then we present a detailed source-code walkthrough. All of the source code is available at http://www.deitel.com/books/AndroidFP3 We recommend that you view each app’s source code in the IDE as you read the chapter. The opportunities for Android app developers are enormous. Sales of Android devices and app downloads have been growing exponentially. The first-generation Android phones were released in October 2008. According to IDC, after the first three months of 2015, Android had 78% of the global smartphone market share, compared to 18.3% for Apple, 2.7% for Microsoft and 0.3% for Blackberry.1 Over one billion Android devices shipped in 2014 alone.2 At the 2015 Google I/O conference, Google announced that in the prior 12 months there had been 50 billion app installs from Google PlayTM—Google’s marketplace for Android apps.3 Fierce competition among popular mobile platforms and carriers is leading to rapid innovation and falling prices. In addition, competition among the hundreds of Android device manufacturers is driving hardware and software innova- tion within the Android community.
