Android is a mobile platform that is built on the top of Linux operating system. The native-code support on Android offers endless opportunities to application developers, not limited the functionality that is provided by Android framework. \u003cem\u003ePro Android C++ with the NDK\u003c\/em\u003e is an advanced tutorial and professional reference for today's more sophisticated app developers now porting, developing or employing C++ and other native code to integrate into the Android platform to run sophisticated native apps and better performing apps in general. Using a game app case study, this book explores tools for troubleshooting, debugging, analyzing memory issues, unit testing, unit test code coverage, performance measurement, on native applications, as well as integrating  the Android NDK toolchain into existing Autoconf, Makefile, CMake, or JAM based build systems. \u003cem\u003ePro Android C++ with the NDK\u003c\/em\u003e also covers the following: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  ·         \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eThe Android platform, and getting up to speed with the Android NDK, and exploring the APIs that are provided in native space. \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eAn overview of Java Native Interface (JNI), and auto-generating JNI code through Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator (SWIG). \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eAn introduction to Bionic API, native networking. native multithreading, and the C++ Standard Template Library (STL) support. \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eNative graphics and sound using JNI Graphics, OpenGL ES, and OpenSL ES. \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eDebugging and troubleshooting native applications using Logging, GNU Debugger (GDB), Eclipse Debugger, Valgrind, strace, and other tools. \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eProfiling native code using GProf to identify performance bottlenecks, and NEON\/SIMD optimization from an advanced perspective, with tips and recommendations. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e           What you’ll learn\u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eWhat is the Android platform, and getting up to speed with the Android NDK. \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eUsing the Eclipse IDE to streamline developing native applications \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eHow to use Java Native Interface (JNI) to connect native code to Java world. \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eAuto-generate JNI code using Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator (SWIG). \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eIntroduction to Bionic API \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eNetworking through POSIX sockets \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eDeveloping multithreaded applications using POSIX Threads, and Java Threads. \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eDebug through Logging, GNU Debugger (GDB), and Eclipse Debugger \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eAnalyze memory issues through Valgrind \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eC++ Support and Standard Template Library STL \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eNative Graphics through JNI Graphics and OpenGL ES \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eNative Sound through OpenSL ES \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eProfiling the native code using GProf to identify performance bottlenecks \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eOptimize code using SIMD\/NEON \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  Who this book is for      \u003cp\u003e     This book is for software professionals who are interested in leveraging the Android NDK to port their existing native-code app, such as C++, to the Android platform, as well as existing Android developers who are interested in improving their apps overall performance by utilizing native-code.           \u003c\/p\u003e     Table of Contents\u003col\u003e   \u003cli\u003eGetting Started with C++ on Android    \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eExploring the Android NDK    \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eCommunicating with Native Code using JNI     \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eAuto-Generate JNI Code Using SWIG   \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eLogging, Debugging, and Troubleshooting     \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eBionic API Primer   \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eNative Threads  \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003ePOSIX Socket API: Connection Oriented Communication  \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003ePOSIX Socket API: Connetionless Communication  \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003ePOSIX Socket API: Local Communication \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eC++ Support  \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eNative Graphics API \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eSound Native API \u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eProfiling and NEON Optimization \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Apress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47153939677424,"sku":"9781430248286","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781430248286_p0.jpg?v=1763750976","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781430248286","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
