These are short Saturday morning (or Sunday) classes for people who are new to Android mobile programming.

This class is not meant to replace other beginning Android classes in the Bay Area, nor is it meant to duplicate the online Android documentation and tutorials. Each concept will be pre-digested for you. Each code example will be thoroughly explained. This also means that I won't really be covering 90% of what Android has to offer.

I do hope however, that by this limited choice of topics, that this will give you the ability and the confidence to delve deeper into the other parts of the Android development platform.

That said, we will cover:

Common installation SDK troubleshooting issues & their solutions
How to add a button
How to attach an event to a button
Things you should check when things go wrong
Android Architecture
Activity & Service life-cycles
Relevant Java concepts & syntax
How to save the state of an application
How to make an application that adds two numbers together
The one layout you'll end up using most of the time
How to detect the phone shaking
How to play audio, and what format you should select
Content providers, an example
How to make an http request using cookies
Where to go next?

An electronic handout with the slides and the code samples will be sent out right-after class.
