Summary

Android, Google's platform for mobile application development, provides powerful features, a robust SDK, and almost limitless possibilities. It's not hard to find the information a developer needs to build a simple Android app, but then what? Android in Practice is a treasure trove of Android goodness, with over 100 tested, ready-to-use techniques, covering the new Android 3.0 SDK, including complete end-to-end example applications and practical tips for real world mobile application developers. Written by seasoned Android developers, this book addresses the trickiest questions raised in forums and mailing lists. Using an easy-to-follow problem/solution/discussion format, it dives into important topics not covered in other Android books, like advanced drawing and graphics, testing and instrumentation, building and deploying applications, using alternative languages, and native development.
