About This eBook
The first-generation Android phones were launched in October 2008. Until June 2015, Android had 82.8% of the international smartphone market share, paralleled to 2.6% for Microsoft and 13.9% for Apple. Millions of apps have been downloaded from Google Play and over one billion Android devices were dispatched worldwide in 2014 (http://www.cnet.com/news/android-shipments-exceed- 1-billion-for-first-time-in-2014/). The prospects for Android app developers are enormous.
This ebook presents leading-edge computing technologies for professional software developers. At the core of the ebook is the Deitel app-driven approach–concepts are accessible in the context of complete working Android apps, instead of using code snippets. The introduction and app test drives at the start of each chapter show one or more sample executions. The ebook’s source code is available at http://www.deitel.com/books/AndroidFP3.
The apps in this ebook were carefully designed to introduce you to important Android features and APIs. You’ll quickly learn everything you require to start building Android apps–beginning with a test-drive of the Tip Calculator app in Chapter 1, then constructing one new app in each of Chapters 2 through 9. By the time you reach Chapter 10, you’ll be ready to make your own apps for submission to Google Play and other app marketplaces. You’ll become skilled at the Google Play submission process, including uploading your apps. You’ll decide whether to sell your apps or provide them for free and learn how to market them through social media and monetize them with in-app advertising, in-app billing, virtual goods and more.
