Android is a new software toolkit for mobile phones, created by Google and
the Open Handset Alliance. In a few years, it's expected to be found inside
millions of cell phones and other mobile devices, making Android a major platform
for application developers. That could be your own program running on all those
devices.
Getting started developing with Android is easy. You don't even need access
to an Android phone, just a computer where you can install the Android SDK and
the phone emulator that comes with it. Within minutes, "Hello, Android"
will get you creating your first working application: Android's version of "Hello,
World."
From there, you'll build up a more substantial example: an Android Sudoku game.
By gradually adding features to the game throughout the course of the book,
you'll learn about many aspects of Android programming including user interfaces,
multimedia, and the Android life cycle.
If you're a busy developer who'd rather be coding than reading about coding,
this book is for you. To help you find what you need to know fast, each chapter
ends with "Fast forward" section. These sections provide guidance
for where you should go next when you need to read the book out of order.
