The Android Developer's Cookbook
The Android operating system (OS) has come a long way since the announcement of
the Open Handset Alliance in late 2007.The idea of an open source OS for embedded
systems was not new, but Google aggressively backing it definitely has helped push
Android to the forefront in just a few years.
Many wireless carriers in multiple countries across various communication protocols have one or more Android phones available. Other embedded devices, such as tablets, netbooks, televisions, set-top boxes, and even auto mobiles, have also adopted the Android OS. This chapter discusses various general aspects of Android useful for a developer. It provides a foundation for the creation of Android applications and a context for the recipes in the rest of this book.
