Learn to build human-interactive Android apps, starting with device
sensors
This book shows Android developers how to exploit the rich set of device
sensors--locational, physical (temperature, pressure, light,
acceleration, etc.), cameras, microphones, and speech recognition--in
order to build fully human-interactive Android applications. Whether
providing hands-free directions or checking your blood pressure,
Professional Android Sensor Programming shows how to turn possibility
into reality.
The authors provide techniques that bridge the gap between accessing
sensors and putting them to meaningful use in real-world situations.
They not only show you how to use the sensor related APIs effectively,
they also describe how to use supporting Android OS components to build
complete systems. Along the way, they provide solutions to problems that
commonly occur when using Android's sensors, with tested, real-world
examples. Ultimately, this invaluable resource provides in-depth,
runnable code examples that you can then adapt for your own
applications.
- Shows experienced Android developers how to exploit the rich set of
Android smartphone sensors to build human-interactive Android apps
- Explores Android locational and physical sensors (including
temperature, pressure, light, acceleration, etc.), as well as cameras,
microphones, and speech recognition
- Helps programmers use the Android sensor APIs, use Android OS
components to build complete systems, and solve common problems
- Includes detailed, functional code that you can adapt and use for your
own applications
- Shows you how to successfully implement real-world solutions using
each class of sensors for determining location, interpreting physical
sensors, handling images and audio, and recognizing and acting on
speech
Learn how to write programs for this fascinating aspect of mobile app
development with Professional Android Sensor Programming.
