    Mobile Application Development with ANDROID

    Tejas Lagvankar UMBC


    29 April 2009

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

    Few reasons to go MAD


    Smart Phones
    Internet access anywhere Social networking

    Millions of mobile users Open standards

    Introduction to Android
    Open software platform for mobile development A complete stack OS, Middleware, Applications An Open Handset Alliance (OHA) project Powered by Linux operating system Fast application development in Java Open source under the Apache 2 license

    Linux Kernel
    Works as a HAL Device drivers Memory management Process management Networking

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

    Android Runtime
    Dalvik VM
    Dex files Compact and efficient than class files Limited memory and battery power

    Core Libraries
    Java 5 Std edition Collections, I/O etc

    Application Framework

    API interface Activity manager manages application life cycle.

    Applications

    Built in and user apps Can replace built in apps

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

    Application Building Blocks


    Activity IntentReceiver Service ContentProvider

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

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

    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

    Intents
    Home Picasa Photo Gallery

    Contacts

    Pick photo
    GMail

    Chat

    Blogger Blogger

    Client component makes a System picks best request for a specific use New components can component for that action action functionality existing

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

    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

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

    Development Tools
    Eclipse Android SDK
    developer.android.com

    The Emulator
    QEMU-based ARM emulator Runs the same image as the device
    Limitations:
    No Camera support

    Devices

    Hello World
    Generating UIs
    Views building blocks E.g. TextView, EditText, Button Placed into Layouts E.g. LinearLayout, TableLayout, AbsoluteLayout

    SAM Demo

    Interesting things to do
    Android is open source Opportunities for researchers Get the source, compile and update the device image
