By October 2013, a Strategy Analytics report showed that Android had 81.3% of the global smartphone market share, compared to 13.4% for Apple, 4.1% for Microsoft and 1% for Blackberry (bit.ly\/1aqIZXf). Billions of apps have been downloaded from Google Play. There are now more than one billion activated Android devices worldwide and more than 1.5 million Android devices are being activated daily (venturebeat.com\/2013\/09\/03\/android-hits-1bactivations-and-will-be-called-kitkat-in-nextversion). The opportunities for Android app developers are enormous. \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis 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 www.deitel.com\/books\/androidfp2.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 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 testdrive of the Doodlz app in Chapter 1, then building your first app in Chapter 2. By the time you reach Chapter 9, 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, deciding whether to sell your apps or offer them for free, and marketing them using in-app advertising, social media, Internet public relations and more.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePractical, example-rich coverage of:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAndroid 4.3 and 4.4\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Android Development Tools, Android Studio\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Supporting Various Screen Sizes\/Resolutions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Accessibility, Internationalization, Graphics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Activities, Fragments, Intents, Preferences\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e GUIs, Layouts, Menus, Resource Files, Lists, Adapters, Events, Touch\/Gesture Processing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Immersive Mode, Printing Framework, PrintHelper\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Assets (Images, Audio), View Animation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Threading, Collections, SQLite Database\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Social sharing via implicit intents\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Google Play™, App Publishing, Pricing, Monetization, Marketing, In-App Advertising, In-App Billing and more.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVisit www.deitel.com\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDownload code examples\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e For information on Deitel’s Dive Into\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e Series programming training courses delivered at organizations worldwide visit www.deitel.com\/training or write to deitel@deitel.com \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eJoin the Deitel social networking communities on Facebook® at deitel.com\/DeitelFan, Twitter\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e @deitel, Google+\u003csup\u003e™\u003c\/sup\u003e at google.com\/+DeitelFan, LinkedIn\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e at bit.ly\/DeitelLinkedIn, YouTube\u003csup\u003e™\u003c\/sup\u003e at youtube.com\/user\/DeitelTV and subscribe to the Deitel\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e Buzz Online e-mail newsletter at www.deitel.com\/newsletter\/subscribe.html \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Deitel\u003csup\u003e®\u003c\/sup\u003e Developer Series is designed for professional programmers.
