Professional Android Sensor Programming

Product Description

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 & 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 & 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 & physical sensors (including temperature pressure light acceleration etc.) as well as cameras microphones & speech recognition Helps programmers use the Android sensor APIs use Android OS components to build complete systems & solve common problems

Includes:: detailed functional code that you can adapt & 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 & audio & recognizing & acting on speech Learn how to write programs for this fascinating aspect of mobile app development with Professional Android Sensor Programming.
