Use this handy field guide as a quick reference book and cheat sheet for
all of the techniques you use or reference day to day. Covering up to
Android 11, this Android Java programming reference guide focuses on
non-UI elements with a security focus. You won't see Android UI
development, nor will you see low-level C or kernel techniques. Instead,
this book focuses on easily digestible, useful, and interesting
techniques in Java and the Android system.
This reference guide was created out of the need for myself to jot down
all the useful techniques I commonly reached for, and so I'm now sharing
these techniques with you, whether you are an Android internals software
engineer or security researcher.
