Enterprise Android : Programming Android Database Applications for the Enterprise

Android devices represent a rapidly growing share of the mobile device market. With the release of Android 4, they are moving beyond consumer applications into corporate/enterprise use. Developers who want to start building data-driven Android applications that integrate with enterprise systems will learn how with this book. In the tradition of Wrox Professional guides, it thoroughly covers sharing and displaying data, transmitting data to enterprise applications, and much more.

• Shows Android developers who are not familiar with database development how to design and build data-driven applications for Android devices and integrate them with existing enterprise systems
• Explores how to collect and store data using SQLite, share data using content providers, and display data using adapters
• Covers migrating data using various methods and tools; transmitting data to the enterprise using web services; serializing, securing, and synchronizing data
• Shows how to take advantage of the built-in capabilities of the Android OS to integrate applications into enterprise class systems

Enterprise Android prepares any Android developer to start creating data-intensive applications that today’s businesses demand.
