The first-generation Android phones were released in October 2008. As of
June 2015, Android had 82.8% of the global smartphone market share,
compared to 13.9% for Apple and 2.6% for Microsoft. Billions of apps
have been downloaded from Google Play and more than one billion Android
devices were shipped worldwide in 2014. The opportunities for Android
app developers are enormous.
This book presents leading-edge computing technologies for professional
software developers. At the heart of the book is the Deitel app-driven
approach–concepts are presented in the context of complete working
Android apps, rather than using code snippets. The introduction and app
test drives at the beginning of each chapter show one or more sample
executions. The book’s source code is available at
deitel.com/books/AndroidFP3.
The apps in this book were carefully designed to introduce you to key
Android features and APIs. You’ll quickly learn everything you need to
start building Android apps–beginning with a test-drive of the Tip
Calculator app in Chapter 1, then building one new app in each of
Chapters 2 through 9. By the time you reach Chapter 10, you’ll be ready
to create your own apps for submission to Google Play and other app
marketplaces. You’ll master the Google Play submission process,
including uploading your apps. You’ll decide whether to sell your apps
or offer them for free, and learn how to market them via social media
and monetize them with in-app advertising, in-app billing, virtual goods
and more.
