  2. Debugging for Android • You have three options: • Android Debug Bridge (ADB) • Dalvik Debug Monitor Device (DDMS) • Device or AVD (Android Virtual Device) • Additional static analyzer for Eclipse: • FindBugs CS440

  3. Developing for Mobile Devices • Hardware-Imposed Design Considerations: • Low Processing Power • Limiter RAM • Limited permanent storage capacity • Small screens • High costs associated with data transfer • Slow data transfer rates, high latency • Unreliable data connections • Limited battery life CS440

  4. Good Practices • Be efficient • Think about memory • Consider small screens, touch screens • Expect low speeds, high latency • Think about cost CS440

  5. Developing for Android • Performance • http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/design/performance.html • Responsiveness • Application must respond to user action within 5 secs • Broadcast receiver must return from its onReceive handler within 10 secs • Seamlessness • Security CS440

  6. What makes an app? • Activities: presentation layer • Services: invisible workers • Content Providers: databases • Intents: message-passing framework • Broadcast receivers: broadcast consumers • Widgets: components added to home screen • Notifications: signal users without interrupting their current activities CS440
