Inc, lead by Andy Rubin and
later purchased by
Google in 2005
Android is Open Source and
Google releases code under
Apache2 license.

11. Hello World !

12. Application Fundamentals
● Apps Development Flow
● Build Cycle
● Directory Structure
● Android Manifest File
● Android Application

13. Apps Development Flow

14. Apps Build Cycle

15. Directory Structure
src/
bin/ - Output directory of the build. final .apk
gen/ - R.java etc
libs/
assets/
res/ - Contains application resources, such as
drawable files, layout files, and string
values.
drawable/
layout/
values/
menu/
xml/
AndroidManifest.xml

16. App Manifest File (AndroidManifest.xml)
"Starting point" of app
It describes:
• Package name
• Minimum level Android API
• Application name + icon
• Required Permissions
• The components of the application
(activities, services, broadcast receivers, and content providers)
Describes first activity to launch
• Other stuff

17. Android Application
Components :
1. Activity
2. Service
3. Broadcast Receiver
4. Content Provider

18. Activity

20. Android UI - Design
Two ways to construct :
1. xml
2. code

21. Using xml layout

22. Using Java Code

23. Android UI – Components (Elements)

24. Click Event Handling
OnClickListener mClickListener = new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
switch(v.getId()){
case R.id.btn1:
// do action1
break;
case R.id.btn2:
// do action2
break;
}
}
};
findViewById(R.id.btn1).setOnClickListener(mClickListener);
findViewById(R.id.btn2).setOnClickListener(mClickListener);

25. Working with Web Services
Concept of API
Data exchange format (JSON)
Android Stuffs

26. API Concept
• Application Program Interface
• An interface by software components to communicate
with each other
• A set of routines, protocols, and tools for building
software applications.
• A good API makes it easier to develop a program by
providing all the building blocks.

27. JSON Data
• JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight text-
based open standard designed for human-readable
data interchange...
• Easy for machines to parse and generate
• Familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages
• JSON Object and JSON Array
• Collection of name/value pairs
• Alternative: XML

28. JSON Vs. XML

29. Android Stuffs
Adding permission
Writing server request file
Check for internet connection
Sync and Async Task
Background and foreground process

30. Building Apps
Initially 5 buttons
Button Action
Code
Pin
Status
Response
Forward 1 1010 {“pin1”:1, “pin2”:0, “pin3”:1, “pin4”:0}
Reverse 2 0101 {“pin1”:0, “pin2”:1, “pin3”:0, “pin4”:1}
Left 3 0010 {“pin1”:0, “pin2”:0, “pin3”:1, “pin4”:0}
Right 4 1000 {“pin1”:1, “pin2”:0, “pin3”:0, “pin4”:0}
Stop 0 0000 {“pin1”:0, “pin2”:0, “pin3”:0, “pin4”:0}

31. Keep on touch
public void showMyContact(){
String username = “hereshem”; // here‘s Hem
Log.i(“GitHub”, “github.com/” + username);
Log.i(“Facebook”, “facebook.com/” + username);
Log.i(“Twitter”, “twitter.com/” + username);
Log.i(“Blog”, username + “.blogspot.com”);
Log.i(“Email”, username + “@gmail.com”);
}
