Developing Android Applications with Adobe Tools by Claire Wildman

The proliferation of the cellular phone has revolutionized the way we connect to the

world and communicate with one another. It is the foundation of a mobile lifestyle.

Although the evolution of cell phone technology is progressing thanks to hardware

manufacturers and platform engineers, the unveiling of its potential is in the hands of

application creators.

Toward that end, Google and the Open Handset Alliance have developed Android, an

operating system that runs on many mobile devices. Adobe and the Open Screen Project

offer AIR as a development tool for various mobile systems. Both efforts bring some

uniformity to this fragmented world.

This book is about developing for the Android platform using Adobe AIR. My goal is

to provide in-depth information on the various topics specific to mobile development.

My wish is that this book will help you create quality applications.

Audience

This book is for developers. It aims to attract enthusiast coders who are curious about

both the technology and the user experience. I try to provide as much background

information as possible on all topics, and not just an ActionScript reference guide.

Today is still the beginning of the mobile era, and any one of you is a potential innovator.

Your contribution can influence the future of mobile technology
