ndroid, Google’s open-source platform for mobile development, has
the momentum to become the leading mobile platform. Pro Android 2
shows you how to build real-world mobile apps using Google’s Android SDK.
Android is easy to learn yet comprehensive, and is rich in functionality.
The absence of licensing fees for Android OS has borne fruit already with many
distinct device manufacturers and a multiplicity of models and carriers. Indi-
vidual developers have a great opportunity to publish mobile applications on
the Android Market; in only ve months’ time the number of applications has
doubled, with over 20,000 available today. And the widespread use of Android
has increased demand for corporate developers as companies are looking for
a mobile presence. You can be part of this.
With real-world source code in hand, Pro Android 2 covers mobile application
development for the Android platform from basic concepts such as Android
Resources, Intents, and Content Providers to OpenGL, Text to Speech, Multi-
touch, Home Screen Widgets, and Titanium Mobile. We teach you how to build
Android applications by taking you through Android APIs, from basic to ad-
vanced, one step at a time.
Android makes mobile programming far more accessible than any other
mobile platforms available today. At no cost to you, you can download the
Eclipse IDE and the Android SDK, and you will have everything you need to
start writing great applications for Android mobile devices. You will not even
need a physical device—the Android SDK provides an emulator that you can
run on your desktop.
Pro Android 2 is the result of over two years of eort to bring together in one
place everything you need—both basic and advanced—to be an Android
developer. So what are you waiting for?
