Introduction to Android Application Development

According to Wikipedia and the Android website, Android is a software stack for mobile devices that includes an operating system, middleware and key applications running on the Linux kernel. Initially developed by Android Inc. (later purchased by Google, and lately by the Open Handset Alliance), it allows developers to write managed code in the Java language, controlling the device via Google-developed Java libraries.

Android was built from the ground-up to enable developers to create compelling mobile applications that take full advantage of all a handset has to offer.

In this session, we will discuss the key components of the Android stack, review the available tools, walk through some application code, discuss the Android Market and demonstrate some applications.

The meeting begins at 5:30PM (food, drink, networking) followed by the discussion at 6:00PM.

Hope to see you there!
