Android Pocket Primer

Android Pocket Primer provides an overview of the latest Android mobile features to developers who are relatively new to this platform and its new Virtual Reality (VR) features. Featuring the new Google Pixel phone, readers will learn about various “core” concepts in Android, and also gain an understanding of how to use many Android APIs. Moreover, the appendices include an extensive set of references for extending your knowledge of Android. This hands-on title includes numerous code samples throughout. The focus is to provide code for Android features (such as buttons, text fields, and media-related APIs) that are likely needed in Android applications. The use of shorter code samples allows for more Android APIs to be included in this book. If you intend to become an expert in Android, this book will provide a “stepping stone” for your journey.
