All the main aspects of creating applications for the Android 5 (API 21) platform are considered: installing the necessary software (JDK, Eclipse and Android SDK), using the Android emulator, creating a user interface, working with graphics, playing sound and video, data storage methods (in including SQLite DBMS), interaction with smartphone hardware, Titanium Mobile platform, publishing applications on the Play Market and debugging applications. Particular attention is paid to interaction with smartphone hardware. It is shown how to get information about the device and determine its status, use its sensors (accelerometer, light sensor, temperature sensor, pressure sensor), camera, Bluetooth adapter. Solutions are given for various emergency situations (emulator failure, problem with installing software, etc.), which will help a novice programmer. For programmers.
Android system programming includes hardware and software skills for system level programming jobs. Developers need to use different techniques to debug different components on the target device. With all the challenges, you usually have a steep learning curve to master relevant knowledge in the field.
