Description:

This session will be more in depth than part one and cover more of the application fundamentals for building a real-world android app. We will build a sample application so attendees can get a real sense of how android apps are built. Starting w/ the preferences screens, we'll see how easy it is to give custom preferences to your apps. We'll then move on to see how Lists are handled in android. I/O & Persistence will show you how to store data to the SD Card, whether it be simple file I/O or using a local SQL Lite database. All of these topics will be using the application context, so throughout the session we'll keep coming back to that.
