Hello, Android is divided into three parts. Roughly speaking, the book

progresses from less advanced to more advanced topics, or from more

common to less common aspects of Android.

Several chapters share a common example: an Android Sudoku game.

By gradually adding features to the game, you’ll learn about many

aspects of Android programming including user interfaces, multimedia,

and the Android life cycle.

In Part I, we’ll start with an introduction to Android. This is where you’ll

learn how to install the Android emulator and how to use an integrated

development environment (IDE) to write your first program. Then we’ll

introduce a few key concepts like the Android life cycle. Programming

in Android is a little different from what you’re probably used to, so

make sure you get these concepts before moving on.

Part II talks about Android’s user interface, two-dimensional graphics,

multimedia components, and simple data access. These features will be

used in most programs you write.

Part III digs deeper into the Android platform. Here you’ll learn about

connecting to the outside world, location-based services, the built-in

SQLite database, and three-dimensional graphics.

At the end of the book, you’ll find appendices that cover the differences

between Android and Java Standard Edition (SE), how to create a widget,

and publishing your application.
