The document presents an overview of non-conventional Android programming, highlighting various features such as GPS, multi-touch, and the use of PhoneGap for cross-platform development. It discusses integrating Spring for dependency injection in Android projects managed with Maven, detailing project setup, configuration, and example code snippets. Additionally, it provides resource links and the potential for using open-source technologies in Android app development.

1. Non-conventional Android Programming

2. Who am I? Davide Cerbo http://jesty.it http://davide.cerbo.born-to-co.de http://www.linkedin.com/in/davidecerbo [email_address]

4. Once upon a time...

5. New Features GPS

6. Compass

7. Camere

8. Hi-Res Screen

9. WI-FI

10. UMTS / HSPDA

11. Multi-touch

12. Where we going?

13. (market)

14. Too much devices

15. Many languages for many devices IPhone: Objective C

16. Android: Java

17. BlackBerry: Java

18. Nokia/Symbian: Java e C++

19. Windows Mobile: .NET e C

20. Write once, run anywhere Do you remember?

21. PhoneGap HTML + JAVASCRIPT + CSS = PhoneGap.com

22. PhoneGap CROSS PLATFORM + API NATIVE INTERFACES + OPEN SOURCE = PhoneGap.com

23. What I'm able to do? ...and coming soon: camera, maps and file manager

24. Examples //GEO REFERENCING var getLocation = function () { var suc = function ( p ){ alert ( p . coords . latitude + " " + p . coords . longitude ); }; var fail = function (){ alert ( "Location not available!" );}; navigator . geolocation . getCurrentPosition ( suc , fail , undefined ); } //VIBRACALL navigator . notification . vibrate ( 0 ); //BEEEEEEP navigator . notification . beep ( 2 );

25. Examples //ACCELEROMETER var watchAccel = function () { var s = function ( a ){ document . getElementById ( 'x' ). innerHTML = roundNumber ( a . x ); document . getElementById ( 'y' ). innerHTML = roundNumber ( a . y ); document . getElementById ( 'z' ). innerHTML = roundNumber ( a . z ); }; var d = function (){}; var opt = {}; opt . frequency = 100 ; Timer = navigator . accelerometer . watchAcceleration ( s , f , opt ); } //CAMERA navigator . camera . getPicture ( dump_pic , fail , { quality : 50 }); function dump_pic ( data) { ... document . getElementById ( "test" ). src = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + data ; }

26. Where's the trick? PhoneGap give us a startup project for every supported device. Every project is a simple application made of a web browser that work as a fullscreen app and where javascripts object will be injected. These objects has native API counterpart inside the device. We need to copy html, css, javascript and images into a specific project folder for every device that we need to deploy on. We also need to modify the project configuration, like project's name, author and so on... For Android copy these files into: ../my-android/assets/www/

27. Just to explain... ...take a look at this piece of code extracted from DroidGap.java included in the Android startup project: private void bindBrowser(WebView appView) { gap = new PhoneGap( this , appView); geo = new GeoBroker(appView, this ); accel = new AccelListener( this , appView); launcher = new CameraLauncher(appView, this ); // This creates the new javascript interfaces for PhoneGap appView.addJavascriptInterface( gap , "DroidGap" ); appView.addJavascriptInterface( geo , "Geo" ); appView.addJavascriptInterface( accel , "Accel" ); appView.addJavascriptInterface( launcher , "GapCam" ); }

28. Why Android? Open Source

29. Linux and Java based (Dalvik)

30. So many Devices

31. OS highly customized ?

32. Android 2.0 (Eclair) in deep Multiple Google accounts management

33. Microsoft Excange Server support

34. Home, Menu and Back buttons become optional

35. New HTML5 web browser

36. Camera application improved (flash, digital zoom, etc...)
