Android™ Application Development Cookbook Wei-Meng Lee 2013

How This Book Is Structured
Chapters in this book are divided into main
topics, with each chapter containing multiple
“recipes” that address specific subtopics in
more detail. Instead of adopting the step-by-step
approach ofcreating a project and then explaining
how the code works, this books demonstrates
the key ingredients of each recipe — the key
points you need to understand in order to meet
a requirement or solve a problem (or complete a
common task) in Android programming. Each recipe
covers the coreconcepts you need to understand,
without any unnecessary code that can complicate
an example. Using this approach, it would be easiest
for you to copy-and-paste the code into your own project
and then enhance it for your own purpose. This, in my
opinion, is the best way to learn Android
programming.

The ART of SEDUCTION... Robert Greene, uploaded by oses isibor

                       PREFACE
Thousands of years ago, power was mostly
gained through physical violence and maintained
with brute strength. There was little need for
subtlety—a king or emperor had to be merciless.
Only a select few had power, but no one suffered
under this scheme of things more than women.
They had no way to compete, no weapon at their
disposal that could make a man do what they wanted
politically, socially, or even in the home. Of course men
had one weakness: their insatiable desire for sex. A
woman could always toy with this desire, but once
she gave in to sex the man was back in control; and
if she withheld sex, he could simply look
elsewhere—or exert force. What good was a power
that was so temporaryand frail? Yet women had no
choice but to submit to this condition. There
were some, though, whose hunger for power was too
great, and who, over the years, through much
cleverness and creativity, invented a way of turning
the dynamic around, creating a more lasting
and effective form of
power.

SUN TZU on THE ART OF WAR....posted by isibor ose

Sun Tzu Wu was a native of the Ch`i State.
His ART OF WAR brought
him to the notice of Ho Lu,
King of Wu. Ho Lu said to him: "I have
carefully perused your 13 chapters.
May I submit your theory of managing
soldiers to a slight test?"
Sun Tzu replied: "You may."
Ho Lu asked: "May the test be
applied to women?"
The answer was again in the
affirmative, so arrangements
were made to bring 180 ladies
out of the Palace. Sun Tzu divided
them into two companies, and placed
one of the King's favorite concubines
at the head of each. He then bade them
all take spears in their hands, and
addressed them thus: "I presume you
know the difference between front and
back, right hand and left hand?"

STEVE JOBS Biography...by Walter Isaacson

CHILDHOOD
Abandoned and Chosen
The Adoption
When Paul Jobs was mustered out of the Coast
Guard after World War II, he made a wager
with his crewmates. They had arrived in San
Francisco, where their ship was decommissioned,
and Paul bet that he would find himself a wife
within two weeks. He was a taut, tattooed engine
mechanic, six feet tall, with a passing resemblance
to James Dean. But it wasn’t his looks that got him
a date with Clara Hagopian, a sweethumored
daughter of Armenian immigrants. It was the fact that
he and his friends had a car, unlike the group she had
originally planned to go out
with that evening. Ten days later, in March 1946,
Paul got engaged to Clara and won his wager. It
would turn out to be a happy marriage, one that
lasted until death parted them more than forty years later.

Android for Programmers, An App-Driven Approach (2012) from Deitel

click here to download Pdf

Intended Audience
We assume that you’re a Java programmer with object-oriented programming experience and that you’re familiar with XML. We use only complete, working apps, so if you don’t know Java and XML but have object-oriented programming experience in C#/.NET, Objective- C/Cocoa or C++ (with class libraries), you should be able to master the material quickly, learning a good amount of Java, Java-style object-oriented programming and XML along the way. This book is neither a Java nor an XML tutorial, but it presents a significant amount of Java and XML technology in the context of Android app development. If you’re interested in learning Java, check out our publications:
• Java for Programmers, 2/e (www.deitel.com/books/javafp2/)
• Java Fundamentals: Parts I and II LiveLessons videos                      (www.deitel.com/books/LiveLessons/).
• Java How to Program, 9/e (www.deitel.com/books/jhtp9/)

About This Book
Android Application Development For Dummies is a beginner’s guide to developing Android applications. You don’t need any Android application development experience under your belt to get started. I expect you to approach this material as a blank slate because the Android platform accomplishes various
mechanisms by using different paradigms that most programmers aren’t used to using — or developing with — on a day-to-day basis. I expect you to be familiar with the Java programming language, however. You don’t have to be a Java guru, but you should understand the syntax, basic data structures, and language constructs. XML is also used in developing Android applications, so I advise understanding XML as well. The Android platform is a device-independent platform, which means that you can develop applications for various devices. These devices include but
aren’t limited to phones, e-book readers, netbooks, and GPS devices. Soon, television sets will join the list. Yes, you read it correctly — TV! Google has announced plans to include a Google TV offering in the Android platform.

HOW THIS BOOK IS STRUCTURED
This book is structured in a logical sequence to help readers of different development backgrounds
learn how to write advanced Android applications. There’s no requirement to read each chapter
sequentially, but several of the sample projects are developed over the course of several chapters,
adding new functionality and other enhancements at each stage.
Experienced mobile developers with a working Android development environment can skim the fi rst
two chapters — which are an introduction to mobile development and instructions for creating your
development environment — and then dive in at Chapters 3–9. These chapters cover the fundamentals
of Android development, so it’s important to have a solid understanding of the concepts they describe.
With this covered, you can move on to the remaining chapters, which look at maps, location-based
services, background applications, and more advanced topics, such as hardware interaction and
networking.
