W-1 Android 101
Barry Burd
FULL DAY WORKSHOPS

In this grand tour of Android, youll learn about the mobile device development cycle from start to finish. What decisions do you face before, during, and after the creation of an Android app? What technical skills must you bring to the table? How do you train yourself to think mobile? This workshop covers fundamentals of the Android operating system, the app development lifecycle, and tools you can use to publish your app. Well cover everything from Cupcake (Android 1.5) to Gingerbread (the brand-new Android 2.3) and beyond. This presentation is aimed at newcomers to Android application development. Prior experience with Linux and object-oriented programming are helpful, but not required. Well cover: The Android operating system Development platforms and target platforms Developing with Dalvik Java Designing Android apps for mobility Testing on emulators and on mobile devices Debugging Android apps Optimizing apps for a mobile device Publishing apps on the Android market (and other venues)
NOTE: We recommend that attendees of this tutorial install Android SDK and Eclipse. Instructions for that are here: d.android.com/sdk/index.html. Alternatively, we have a complete preconfigured Ubuntu virtual machine with everything you need to start developing for Android available at: marakana.com/external/ VirtualMachines/Marakana-Ubuntu-VM.zip (~1.4GB). Requires VMware Player.
W-4 Android for .NET/C# Developers Using MonoDroid

Wallace McClure
Come learn how to write native applications geared for the Android Platform based on .NET, C# and the Mono framework. Well examine the overall architecture of MonoDroid, discuss how it integrates with Visual Studio, debug with MonoDroid, and look at a couple of example apps written with MonoDroid. Android development predominantly uses the Java language, with code written using the Eclipse IDE and running on the Dalvik virtual machine. If you or your company has already made a significant investment in .NET, the time to learn Java and the Android Mobile Platform is significant. So, come to this session to learn how to take your existing knowledge of .NET/C# and Visual Studio and immediately apply it to writing apps for the Android platform an the Novell MonoDroid plug-in. Youll be able to immediately begin development on Android in Visual Studio 2010 using your existing language skills and known development environment. Well cover: Introduction to Android. Introduction to Mono and the MonoDroid plugin for Visual Studio. Basics of UI design, explaining how to create a user interface with Android, and how the user interface is compiled into a MonoDroid application. Screen controls: The basics of user interface controls, screen issues, menus, various keyboards and widgets. Data controls: This section will discuss how to successfully display data to the user. Working with local data: This will be an overview of how to work with data locally on a device. Working with remote data: Strategies for working with remote data will be discussed. Multimedia: This section will discuss how to work with multimedia and graphics. Background processing with threads and services.
W-3 Fighting the Fragmentation

Mark Murphy
Fragmentation is a buzzword in Android application development, used to describe everything from multiple screen sizes to multiple Android versions to device manufacturer bugs. Some developers get scared of writing Android applications out of fear that fragmentation issues will either consume too much development time or wreck the user experience. In this full-day, hands-on session workshop, we will explore various facets of fragmentation and discuss the techniques you can use to spend less time dealing with fragmentation issues and more time elsewhere. Bring your notebook and your apps, as you will have ample time to try out these techniques on your own code, with the instructor on hand to answer specific questions. The goal for the workshop is for you to learn how to fight fragmentation and to materially improve your apps along the way. This presentation is aimed at intermediate to advanced Android developers, ideally ones with an app already built but needing de-fragmentation. As part of this workshop, we will have a small "device lab, where you will have access to Android hardware from a variety of manufacturers, for use in testing your app. Note, though, that access to the lab will be limited due to sheer logistics, and not everybody attending the workshop will be able to participate in the lab.
W-2 Android for Java Developers

Marko Gargenta
While Android programming is based on Java, there are some important philosophical differences and Android-specific constructs to consider. Android for Java Developers is an action-packed, hands-on presentation that takes you through the anatomy of an Android application. The sample application includes most major Android building blocks (Activities, Intents, Services, Broadcast Receivers, Content Providers) to illustrate the philosophy of Android application development. It assumes basic Java knowledge.
Workshops Classes
Strategies for sharing code between Android, iPhone and Windows Phone 7.
W-5 Developing Media Applications on Android

Shawn Van Every
Learn how to harness the Androids media capture and playback capabilities in your applications. In this class, we will examine Androids capabilities for developing applications that utilize the camera and microphone for photo capture and manipulation, sound recording, processing and audio synthesis as well as video capture. Well work our way through several example applications that utilize and illuminate these capabilities. In particular well develop a custom camera application and extend to automatically create double exposures. Well create a an audio capture and playback application that allows us interactively to scrub through recordings. Finally well create a video capture example and learn about how we can extend it adding effects such as solarization to the output. This hands-on workshop is suited for those with some previous Android development experience. Please come to the workshop with a laptop running Eclipse and the latest Android SDK. It would be helpful to have an Android handset that can be used for development as well (dont forget your USB cable).
101 Running a Successful Android Apps Business, Part 1: Publishing

Bradley D. Brown
projects. Youll gain a better understanding of ways where MDDs executable models can speed up your development processes.
Come to this session to learn how to publish your Android apps in the Android Market and how to make important decisions that will affect your business. Should you charge for your apps or make them free? Products like AndroidLicenser.com will be discussed. This product charges you a one time (or monthly) fee to sell your apps instead of 30% percent of every sale. It also helps reduce piracy. The session will also discuss other billing engines in the event that you want to charge for items you sell on for Android devices, like tickets, wallpaper or ringtones. Well also discuss location-based services such as Xtify, which can be very important to both enterprise and commercial application development.
103 Coding for the Motorola XOOM Tablet

Anna Schaller and Peter van der Linden
102 Speed Up Android Dev with Model-DrivenDevelopment

Leigh Williamson and Martin Bakal
Model Driven Development (MDD) is an important methodology for embedded, realtime and technical applications development including Android. In this class, taught by two members of the IBM Rational technical team, youll learn how to benefit from executable models to better understand the Android Framework itself, as well as existing application, and overall quickening the development of new applications. The class will cover several use cases and workflows: Visualization of an Android Application, usage of an Android profile that assist the user to further express the application architecture, interaction with ADT and more. Special focus will be given to run-time behavior and the usage of model-based visualization of both the Android Framework and an Android Application. This session is for development team members and managers working on Android
The Motorola XOOM unwraps a whole new playground for Android applications. The extra large screen size (10.1) that takes advantage of WXGA resolution provides more physical pixels to work with. Native support for both front and rear facing cameras, sensor detection for gyroscope rotations, and a working barometer to measure atmospheric pressure are all supported programmatically on this platform. The introduction of the nVidia chipset into the mobile space also introduces some new coding practices for use within your application. As the first device released with Honeycomb, the XOOM showcases Android 3.0 on a tablet. Honeycomb requires a programming paradigm shift that asks app developers to see beyond the current models of thinking. Writing an application that works well on the XOOM, while preserving your code on other devices requires knowing what still works and what has changed. This session will cover programming tips for app development on the XOOM. There will also be a gentle walkthrough for installing and using the NDK for those who need to mix C/C++ with the Android OpenGL offering.

James Steele
Android devices contain many sophisticated sensors. From the camera and microphone to orientation sensors and temperature sensors, youll learn about the Android API for each in some detail as well as see example applications that use them. Part 1 of this session will cover the image and orientation sensors; Part 2 will cover the audio APIs, GPS, proximity, temperature and proximity sensors.
Classes
Mike Wolfson
105 Overview of Mobile Development Platforms

Reaching the broadest audience is a top issue for mobile developers. Often, this means targeting your software to run on as many different platforms as possible. Unfortunately, because the mobile environment is complicated, and rapidly evolving, it is difficult to know exactly how to best utilize the various technologies, to maximize revenue and reach. This talk will provide an overview of the options currently available, to enable better decision making. The session will compare and contrast the platforms based on a variety of criteria (including: development cost, languages\technologies supported, market penetration, licensing models, market restrictions\rules and other features). The benefits and costs of each of the platforms will be highlighted.
201 Running a Successful Android Apps Business, Part 2: Advertising

Bradley D. Brown
In this session, youll learn about popular ad engines including AdMob, Google AdSense, Facebook and more. Well discuss "bulk sales" firms such as Mobiroo, and creating your own ad engine and injecting video ads for your customers or your company. Well also touch on ways to market the app itself, such as blogging and using social media like Facebook.
203 Android Internals: From SDK to NDK to APIs

Marko Gargenta
Learn how Android works under the hood. Android Internals is designed for those who are already familiar with basics of Android SDK and are looking to extend the functionality of the platform. Android Internals focuses on Android NDK and Android IDL APIs for giving you a clean access to the underlying hardware and services with future compatibility in mind. You will learn how to build custom images and hack the platform.
202 Using HTML5 to Target Android

Wallace McClure

James Steele
See description under Part 1, Class 104.
106 Building Rich Mobile Apps with HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript
James Pearce
A number of modern frameworks are heralding a new way of building mobile apps using HTML5, CSS3, and JavSscript. Whether you are a native Android developer who wants to surmount cross-platform headaches, or a desktop web developer who wants to start reaching mobile devices in beautiful app-like ways, we explore the possibilities that these rich, standards-based tools can bring. This session assume that you have Moderate HTML, CSS and JavaScript skills. Well be covering several Web application frameworks for mobile apps, including Sencha Touch, SproutCore and jQuery Mobile. This is a hands-on session that begins with a lecture and demonstration. Well also be going hands-on; to follow along, you should install the three frameworks mentioned above.
Come examine the features of the Android WebKit based browser, and see how you can leverage it and services like the jQuery Mobile framework to build Web applications that target Android and other devices and have them look like native Android apps. After all, your company is targeting mobile devices, but for some projects, building native applications can be costly and time consuming. Thats especially true if you need to target both Android and iPhone. Learn how you can target both platforms with the same codebase and save development dollars, by leveraging the WebKitbased browser. Well look at the features common to both, and how you can target both of these platforms with great-looking apps. Youll be able to immediately build Web applications that target the Android and iPhone platforms. The benefits of this approach are: Easy cross platform development No requirement to learn Objective-C/Xcode or Java/Eclipse Applications are immediately available and upgradeable, without needing to go through the Market or App Store of either platform. Web developers are easier to find than Objective-C, Blackberry, WebOS, or Java programmers.
205 Top Tips for Android UIs

Suzanne Alexandra
Having a great UI is often the difference between an application that sells in Android Market and one that doesn't. This session presents the best UI development tips for creating Android applications that users love and that run well on many devices. In this session, you'll get tips for handling touch, images, themes, and more including some of the new user interface features that will be appearing in Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
206 Hybrid Android Development with PhoneGap

Dave Johnson
Theres a growing divide between web-based and native app developers and its time to pick a side... or is it? In this lecture-style session, Dave Johnson will demonstrate how a hybrid approach to Android app development can speed up and improve the native Android development process. Hell demonstrate the benefits of prototyping with HTML, CSS and JavaScript; hell compare Web-based and native app development pitfalls; and hell share top tips for building successful hybrid Android apps that marry native code with the web.
Classes
Using the PhoneGap open source framework, Dave will show attendees how to work with native extensions using Android platform features, and will demonstrate how to turn a w3c widget into a native Android app in 5 minutes or less. Join Dave to learn how you can reduce app development headaches by going hybrid. for other forms of software. Each stage has tools that provide value for that particular aspect of the lifecycle. Especially in the case of Enterprise application projects, a team of people are involved. A successful project requires integration between the various tools and collaboration between the people in the various roles across the application lifecycle. This class will present some example full lifecycle scenarios for Android application projects, and examples of how the tools used in each stage of the lifecycle can be integrated with each other and with broader Enterprise-wide tracking and measurement systems. The lifecycle stages that well examine include requirements capture, architecture and design, coding, packaging, quality assurance, and deployment. We will also show examples of how the tools used can facilitate collaboration between the team members of the project, across these lifecycle stages. This class is targeted at development managers, architects, release managers, and development team members working on Android application projects within the context of a broader Enterprise environment that may include other kinds of software projects. Participants in the class will leave with some ideas for making their teams and Android projects more efficient and effective, with higher quality results.
tips to help ensure that your app meets the obligations of open source licenses. By attending this session youll learn about trends in open source compliance in the mobile market, common compliance challenges and successes, and how to become a good open source citizen. This session is ideal for mobile developers as well as business and legal personnel concerned about open source usage and license compliance.
301 Running a Successful Android Apps Business, Part 3: Analytics

Bradley D. Brown
305 Test and Debug with Android Dev Tools

Mike Wolfson
Once you publish your application, if you just put it in the marketplace, you wont know how people are using it, what they are setting values to, where they are when they are using it, when they are having errors, and other important data -- unless you use an analytics engine. Come to this session to learn about Google Analytics, Flurry and more. Well cover monitoring events, performance and error logging. If you care about what happens to your app after you sell it, this is must-attend class.
302 SCM for Android Developers using Git

Tony Hillerson
This presentation will be a walk-through of some of the most important tools included in the standard Android SDK. This presentation will step through setting up and using the tools, and some simple case studies demonstrating their usage. Come prepared (with the current SDK running on your laptop) to follow along. This talk will cover the following tools (and their uses): ADB (debugging), DDMS (device, emulator control), Emulator (testing multiple devices), Hierarchy Viewer (UI Optimization), and MonkeyRunner (scripting interface for automated testing new in Gingerbread!). If time permits, we will cover some of the other tooling available.
Whether you work alone or in a team, some sort of source control management is essential to you as a developer for things like keeping a history of your code, dealing with integrating code, managing releases, and making your development workflow through different features painless. If you're coming from something like CVS or SVN, the open-source Git version control system (www.git-scm.com) will turn what you know of SCM on its head. Come learn about why Git is different, and what that difference means to you as an Android developer.
304 Open Source in Android Apps

306 Taking Advantage of Apache Maven for Android Development

Manfred Moser
303 Leveraging Tools for Full Lifecycle Management of Android Applications

Leigh Williamson
There are many stages in the full lifecycle for any software development project, and this applies to Android applications just as it does
Over 80% of Android apps incorporate open source software, yet many apps may not be complying with open source licenses. Many developers may not have a complete picture of open source they are using due to the hidden bundling of different licenses within open source projects. As an Android developer, youll want to make sure that your app doesnt run afoul of licensing issues or get singled out for removal from the Android Market. This session will present new research conducted by OpenLogic a company that sells governance tools for helping developers use open source software on the use of open source software in mobile apps and the level of compliance with open source licenses as well as
Come learn about Maven, the open-source build manager from the Apache Foundation. After a brief introduction, well dig into how you can take advantage of Mavin for building your Android applications. We will start by building a simple application and go on to learn about unit testing and instrumentation testing. We will see how you can share code and resources between multiple applications as well as use third party libraries. We will touch on subjects like running your build on continuous integration servers and some of the many other things you can automate with Apache Maven. Finally we will delve into all the steps necessary to release your application like signing and zipaligning. If time permits, well cover code obfuscation and build automation.
Classes
After this session, you may wish to consider taking Unit and Integration Testing. Prerequisites for developers that want to follow the code during the class: Install Java: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/ javase/downloads/index.html Install the Android SDK: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html Install Maven 2.2.1 or higher: http://maven.apache.org/download.html Create an environment variable called ANDROID_HOME that points to your Android SDK Source code for Sample Applications: http://github.com/mosabua/maven-androidplugin-samples Follow the README.txt file, located in the GitHub repository above, for more details on using the samples
402 Accessing Enterprise Remote Services in MonoDroid

Wallace McClure
Many .NET developers currently integrate their apps with enterprise systems or want to. Well look at integrating with enterprise databases and remote services that your .NET developers currently develop against. This session will look at what needs to be done on the provider side as well as what needs to be done within the mobile application code. Well look at the features that MonoDroid and Android provide to integrate with those remote services. This session is for the .NET enterprise developer who needs to create an internal application. It is also for service providers who need to open their services to business partners. Youll able to immediately develop mobile applications within their enterprise as well as understand the issues that need to be overcome within their environment.
404 Unit Testing, Integration Testing and Continuous Builds

Manfred Moser
and licensed with your proprietary code may create risk and exposure. While Android has an overall Apache license, it was created using the GPLv2-licensed Linux kernel, and incorporates components using 19 different licenses, not all of which are OSI approved. Attendees will be introduced to Androids beginnings, its complexity, and the high rate of change in the code base. The challenges of managing that complexity and keeping pace, including managing code forks, complying with license requirements and automating the use and management of open source software will be reviewed.
401 Refactoring Web Apps for Mobile using CSS3 and HTML5
Joseph R. Lewis
The rate at which users are accessing our websites via handheld devices has grown explosively in the past few years. How are these users interacting with your web content? Are you delivering an enjoyable and useful experience that supports your business and communication goals? In this session we will discuss recent trends in the mobile Web and use live code examples to show how you can make Web pages more accessible on Android devices by taking a CSS-based, minimally intrusive approach to webpage markup. Starting with an off-the-shelf content management system and theme, we will modify the layout for an optimized small screen, touch-based experience. We will look at practical, easy-to-implement methods for refactoring existing websites for mobile devices (including HTML5 and CSS3 components that work well today!) Finally, youll learn about device-specific features and emerging CSS3 techniques to investigate what the future might hold for the mobile Web.
403 Managing the Licenses of Androids Components and Sub-Components

Bill McQuaide
The Android mobile operating system is increasingly becoming the platform of choice for mobile and embedded device manufacturers. Closed-source mobile devices such as Blackberry or iPhone are quickly losing market share, and approximately 60 percent of mobile devices use an open source platform. As Android devices grow in popularity and the market expands, developers are eager to tap into its potential, but must be able to react quickly to a changing code base and feature sets. They also must do so in a way that complies with license obligations, or put themselves and their innovations at risk. Android has a complex ecosystem with opportunity at many levels. If youre a player in the Android ecosystem and need to modify the code to take advantage of software or hardware feature designs, not knowing how Androids 185 sub components are integrated

501 Writing Reusable Android Components

Mark Murphy
503 Mastering C2DM the Android Cloud to Device Messaging Framework

Aleksandar (Sasa) Gargenta
For Android to be a long-term success, the development community needs to get into more of a reuse mindset, so that recommended patterns and snazzy UIs get reused, not rewritten. Unfortunately, Android makes this somewhat of a challenge. In this 75-minute lecture, we will review the issues in creating a reusable Android component and different models for overcoming those issues. Attendees will walk away with a firm grounding in the options for creating and publishing reusable components. This presentation is aimed at intermediate to advanced Android developers.
While many people agree that Androids 2.2 release was a major milestone in its evolutionary path, one of the most important features is yet waiting to be discovered: C2DM. The Android Cloud to Device Messaging framework, which was first introduced at Google I/O 2010, has the potential to enable a whole new breed of applications for the platform. In a nutshell, C2DM makes it possible for developers to push data from their servers to their applications on Android devices. C2DM is a relatively simple, very lightweight, messaging technology that transcends carriers networks and allows innovative ways to connect with our users - all without having to drain batteries on their phones or waste wireless data, which is what we were forced
Android applications can easily store data using the SQLite database engine. This data can then be heavily used without delays involved in passing information back-and-forth between the device and a remote database. How then can data be kept in sync if it needs to exist on the device and a remote database? What if you dont need all of the data found in the database to exist on the device? This class helps you design and implement a synchronization utility that will work with the remote database management system of your choice. It could be Oracle, MySQL, Sybase, or some other database. It could even be something completely different such as XML or other textual flat files. The data structure on the device wont even need to match the remote data structure. All of this can be done to create an easy to use sync utility you can use in any of your applications.
505 Android for Embedded Linux Developers

Karim Yaghmour
While Android is known to run on top of Linux, and is therefore an embedded Linux system, not many people understand how similar and different Android Android dvelopment is from traditional embedded Linux development. This session teaches that although Android development is actually completely different from traditional embedded Linux development, some tools and methods used in the latter can be useful to the former. This technical talk
Classes
will cover how to "make the move" from embedded Linux to Android development and how you can benefit from tools and methods typical of embedded Linux.
506 Designing for the Mobile Form Factor

Kirill Grouchnikov
User-facing applications should look good, stay responsive and help the end user achieve their goals quickly and painlessly. There are significant differences between desktop and mobile environments, and this session will talk about how the mobile form factor affects the users interaction with the hardware and, by extension, with your application. We will cover the following topics: How the smaller form factor of wireless devices changes the user interaction patterns Absence of common desktop interaction peripherals (mouse, trackpad, large keyboard) Touch-based interactivity and what it means for control size, placement and density Consistent handling of touch gestures - tap, long touch, move and fling Planning for a wide variety of screen sizes, pixel density and device rotation Designing for optimal usage of screen estate without information overload Optimizing for limited CPU and memory resources Test and Debug with Android Dev Tools

603 Building and Enhancing Complex Android Applications

Bradley D. Brown
Many conference presentations tell you what you should do. This presentation will tell you how not to foul up too badly. Complaints against Android devices are legion: poor battery life, sporadic hiccups when playing high-frame-rate games, sluggish home screens, and so on. While Android itself could certainly do things to help, many of these problems lie at the feet of application developers like you and me. This 75-minute lecture will outline some of the anti-patterns we see with Android applications particularly anti-patterns that affect not only your application, but the overall device
Want to build a complex application? Come to this session to see how you can create a simple project, and then enhance it to get the functionality you hope to create. In this session, youll see a number of excellent resources that are useful for learning Android development, and then see applications that use advanced features such as those that retrieve location-based information, a compass that tells which way the phone user is headed compared to the place they are navigating to, and more. Next, youll see how to changing the Android toolkit version, adding libraries, drawables (screen sizes), layout files, creating layouts on the fly, menus, values, and the manifest.xml file. We will also cover the Android App Inventor.
Whereas Google publishes close to 3,000 pages worth of documentation on Android, including application developer and porting documentation, there is very little (if no mention at all) of one the most important components of the entire system: the System Server. The System Server is in fact Android's "brain, housing services such as the Activity Manager, the Window Manager, the Package Manager and more. This talk will cover what otherwise requires a walk through Android's source code: What is and what does the System Server? Youll leave here with a thorough understanding of this essential piece of the Android system.

703 Dont Drain the Battery! Managing Background Services on Android

Michael Galpin
You have seen the ads where Android based devices like to brag about how awesome their multitasking is and now even the iPhone claims to have multitasking. Unfortunately its pseudo-multitasking borrowed from Android, but fear not. Android has real multitasking as well. Its easy to do, but even easier to screw up. In this talk youll learn how to do it right, and how to do it without killing a phones battery. Well discuss the dreaded P word (polling), as well as alternatives such as Androids Cloud to Device Messaging. This class will be a lecture for intermediate to advanced Android developers.
The Model-View-Control pattern as implemented by Google is great as far as it goes. It does tend to lead to implementation code being scattered across many areas of your application. This class helps you design and implement a modular, reusable framework that can speed up you application development dramatically. Initial data indicates you could reduce your time to market by a factor or 10 or more by reusing the framework you will create in this class. You will create a command-response, highly modular framework that you can reuse in every Android or other Java application you ever create. Your framework will be fast. It will be small. It will be easy to use.

Youll see how to create RESTful services for enterprise applications such as Oracles ERP or SAP R/3. Finally, youll learn how to consume these services with your Android app.
users feel new touch-based interfaces and applications, powering optimum experiences. New high definition solutions enable developers to fully engage the sense of touch in a range of applications from haptically-enabled virtual keyboards and UI widgets to gaming and advanced interactions and will significantly influence the evolution of user experience. This session will demonstrate how the use of haptics enhances user experience and will show how developers can create haptic effects for any application with the Immersion APIs for Android. The session consists of two parts, a PowerPoint presentation for background information and a live demo session that will show in detail how developers can implement haptics in their applications. The first part includes a short general description of the sense of touch and haptic feedback, compares basic tactile feedback with the latest high definition haptics, lists use cases of haptics in general and in mobile devices in particular, and summarizes good design principles for creating haptics effects for applications. The final part is a live demonstration that will present free design tools that Android developers can use for creating their own haptic effects. It will include information on necessary design tools and how to get started with haptic effects design. The presenter will review different haptic effect types that developers can use in their applications and demonstrate how haptic effects can be created, modified and saved. The class will continue with coding, where the instructor will explain how haptic effects that are created are then embedded in the code of an existing application. The presenter will explain the structure of required commands and demonstrate how they should be used.
This class is for the Web and Android developer who wants to build shared apps for businesses that will be accessed via smart mobile devices and must sync with the cloud, laptops and desktops. We will cover both Web-based couchapps, being webapps running on top of CouchDB, and native android apps that use couchdb as a datastore and sync provider. You will walk away from this class understanding how CouchDB functions as a datastore for Android based devices and how to utilize its native replication capability to solve user issues with low, intermittent or no internet connectivity. Further, you will learn how to build basic apps on top of CouchDB and will actually be able to see it interact with other mobile devices. The class will use CouchOnes Focus app, an internal task management tool, in order to understand the way sync functions on mobile computing devices. This is an intermediate class and requires developers with experience using REST based APIs and Android Services.

With the recent huge success of Android devices, more and more developers are interesting in writing Android apps. And not all of them are Java developers or want to learn Java to write for Android. Easier to learn and more productive languages start to become compelling to this wider developer audience. To say nothing of the murky future of Javas legal status in Android. One such language is Ruby widely noted as the fastest growing community of current programming languages. There are now multiple options for writing Ruby apps for Android. Youll see how to write a native Android app with the open source framework Rhodes, which includes the first Android Ruby implementation, written in the NDK to bypass Java entirely. We also show writing an app with Ruboto, which runs on the Android Java stack. Finally youll learn how how the Embedded Ruby project may affect future Android Ruby development with both of these options.
