1. 01. Introduction to Android Prof. Oum Saokosal Master of Engineering in Information Systems, South Korea 855-12-252-752 oum_saokosal@yahoo.com

2. Reference Beginning Android 4, Mark L. Murphy, 2012, Apress. Pro Android 4, Sayed Hashimi, Satya Komatineni & Dave MacLean, 2012, Apress. http://www.android.com/ http://developer.android.com/index.html http://source.android.com/ http://code.google.com/android/

3. Agenda Mobile Application Development (MAD) Intro to Android platform Platform architecture Application building blocks Development tools Hello Android

4. Few reasons to go MAD… Smart Phones – Internet access anywhere, 3G – 3.75G, 4G – Social networking – Games, online games – Booklet, eBook Reader Millions of mobile users Open standards

5. Android Devices Samsung Sony HTC Motorola LG

6. Introduction to Android Open software platform for mobile development A complete stack – OS, Middleware, Applications Powered by Linux operating system Fast application development in Java Open source under the Apache 2 license

8. Linux Kernel Works as a HAL (Hardware Abstract Layer) Device drivers Memory management Process management Networking

9. What is a kernel, by the way? The kernel is a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware level. It is the basic component of an OS.

10. Libraries C/C++ libraries Interface through Java Surface manager – Handling UI Windows 2D and 3D graphics Media codecs, SQLite, Browser engine

11. Android Runtime Dalvik Virtual Machine (DVM) –Compact and efficient than class files –Limited memory and battery power Core Libraries –Java 5 Std edition –Collections, I/O etc…

12. Application Framework API interface Activity manager – manages application life cycle.

13. Applications Built in and user apps Can replace built in apps

14. Agenda Mobile Application Development (MAD) Intro to Android platform Platform architecture Application building blocks Development tools Hello Android

15. Application Building Blocks Activity IntentReceiver Service ContentProvider

16. Activities Typically correspond to one UI screen But, they can: – Be faceless – Be in a floating window – Return a value

17. IntentReceivers Components that respond to broadcast ‘Intents’ Way to respond to external notification or alarms Apps can invent and broadcast their own Intent

18. Intents Think of Intents as a verb and object; a description of what you want done – E.g. VIEW, CALL, PLAY etc.. System matches Intent with Activity that can best provide the service Activities and IntentReceivers describe what Intents they can service

19. Intents GMail Contacts Home Blogger Chat Client component makes a request for a specific action “Pick photo” Picasa System picks best component for that action New components can use existing functionality Blogger Photo Gallery

20. Services Faceless components that run in the background – E.g. music player, network download etc…

21. ContentProviders Enables sharing of data across applications – E.g. address book, photo gallery Provides uniform APIs for: – querying – delete, update and insert. Content is represented by URI and MIME type

22. The Emulator

23. QEMU-based ARM emulator Runs the same image as the device Limitations: –No Camera support

24. Hello World http://developer.android.com/resources/tutor ials/hello-world.html http://developer.android.com/resources/tutor ials/hello-world.html Generating UIs – Views – building blocks – E.g. TextView, EditText, Button – Placed into Layouts – E.g. LinearLayout, TableLayout, AbsoluteLayout

25. Application Lifecycle Application run in their own processes (VM, PID) Processes are started and stopped as needed to run an application's components Processes may be killed to reclaim resources

27. Notification Manager

28. How background app interact with users Consistent notification presentation

29. Views

31. Location Manager
