Digital. Condition: New. As an Android developer you know you re in a competitive marketplace. This book can give you the edge by guiding you through the concurrency constructs and proper use of AsyncTask to create smooth user interfaces.Key FeaturesLearn how to use Android's high-level concurrency constructs to keep your applications smooth and responsiveLeverage the full power of multi-core mobile CPUs to get more work done in less timeFrom quick calculations to scheduled downloads, each chapter explains the available mechanisms of asynchronous programming in detailBook DescriptionWith more than a million apps available from Google Play, it is more important than ever to build apps that stand out from the crowd. To be successful, apps must react quickly to user input, deliver results in a flash, and sync data in the background. The key to this is understanding the right way to implement asynchronous operations that work with the platform, instead of against it. Asynchronous Android is a practical book that guides you through the concurrency constructs provided by the Android platform, illustrating the applications, benefits, and pitfalls of each.Learn to use AsyncTask correctly to perform operations in the background, keeping user-interfaces running smoothly while avoiding treacherous memory leaks. Discover Handler, HandlerThread and Looper, the related and fundamental building blocks of asynchronous programming in Android. Escape from the constraints of the Activity lifecycle to load and cache data efficiently across your entire application with the Loader framework. Keep your data fresh with scheduled tasks, and understand how Services let your application continue to run in the background, even when the user is busy with something else.Asynchronous Android will help you to build well-behaved apps with smooth, responsive user-interfaces that delight users with speedy results and data that's always fresh, and keep the system happy and the battery charged by playing by the rules.What you will learnUnderstand Android s process model and its implications on your applicationsExercise multithreading to build well-behaved Android applications that work with the platformApply and control concurrency to deliver results quickly and keep your applications responsive to user inputDiscover Android-specific constructs that make asynchronous programming easy and efficientLearn how to apply Android s concurrency constructs to build smooth and responsive applicationsWho this book is forThis book is for Android developers who want to learn about the advanced concepts of Android programming. No prior knowledge of concurrency and asynchronous programming is required. This book is also targeted towards Java experts who are new to Android.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Unlock the power of multi-core mobile devices to build responsive and reactive Android applicationsAbout This Book. Construct scalable and performant applications to take advantage of multi-thread asynchronous techniques. Explore the high-level Android asynchronous constructs available on the Android SDK. Choose the most appropriate asynchronous technique to implement your next outstanding featureWho This Book Is ForThis book is for Android developers who want to learn how to build multithreaded and reliable Android applications using high-level and advanced asynchronous techniques and concepts. No prior knowledge of concurrent and asynchronous programming is required. This book will also be great for Java experts who are new to Android.Whether you are a beginner at Android development or a seasoned Android programmer, this book will guide you through the most basic and advanced asynchronous constructs used in Android programming.What You Will Learn. Get familiar with the android process model and low-level concurrent constructs delivered by the Android SDK . Use AsyncTask and loader framework to load data in the background, delivering progress results in the meantime. Create services that interact with your activity without compromising the UI rendering . Learn the working of Android concurrency on the Native Layer. Interact with nearby devices over Bluetooth and WiFi communications channels . Create and compose tasks with RxJava to execute complex asynchronous work in a predictable way. Get accustomed to the use of the Android Loader construct to deliver up-to-date resultsIn DetailAsynchronous programming has acquired immense importance in Android programming, especially when we want to make use of the number of independent processing units (cores) available on the most recent Android devices. With this guide in your hands you'll be able to bring the power of Asynchronous programming to your own projects, and make your Android apps more powerful than ever before!To start with, we will discuss the details of the Android Process model and the Java Low Level Concurrent Framework, delivered by Android SDK. We will also guide you through the high-level Android-specific constructs available on the SDK: Handler, AsyncTask, and Loader. Next, we will discuss the creation of IntentServices, Bound Services and External Services, which can run in the background even when the user is not interacting with it. You will also discover AlarmManager and JobScheduler APIs, which are used to schedule and defer work without sacrificing the battery life. In a more advanced phase, you will create background tasks that are able to execute CPU-intensive tasks in a native code-making use of the Android NDK. You will be then guided through the process of interacting with remote services asynchronously using the HTTP protocol or Google GCM Platform. Using the EventBus library, we will also show how to use the Publish-Subscribe software pattern to simplify communication bet.…
