mobile devices that’s generating enthusiasm across the industry. Based

views, maps, location-based services, persistent data storage, 2D and 3D
graphics, media services, telephony services, and messaging Use
ready-to-run example code that implements each feature Delve into
advanced topics, such as security, custom views, performance analysis,
and internationalization The book is a natural complement to the
existing Android documentation provided by Google. Whether you want to
