**About This eBook:**
The evolution of Android began with the launch of its first-generation phones in October 2008. By June 2015, Android had captured 82.8% of the global smartphone market, leaving competitors like Microsoft at 2.6% and Apple at 13.9%. With over a billion Android devices shipped in 2014 alone (source: [CNET](http://www.cnet.com/news/android-shipments-exceed-1-billion-for-first-time-in-2014/)), the opportunities for Android app developers are expansive and promising.
This eBook provides a state-of-the-art exploration of essential computing technologies, designed specifically for professional software developers. The Deitel app-driven approach ensures that concepts are framed around complete, functioning Android applications rather than fragmented code snippets. Each chapter opens with introductions and app test drives showcasing sample executions. The corresponding source code can be accessed at [http://www.deitel.com/books/AndroidFP3](http://www.deitel.com/books/AndroidFP3).
Designed meticulously to highlight critical Android features and APIs, this guide ensures a smooth learning curve as you build your first app—the Tip Calculator—in Chapter 1, progressing through a new app in each subsequent chapter (Chapters 2-9). By the time you reach Chapter 10, you’ll be equipped to develop and submit your applications to Google Play and other app marketplaces, tackle the nuances of the Google Play submission process, and strategize on app monetization through social media, in-app advertising, billing, and more.
