Advanced Android I
Wednesday, 8:30 AM
This session will move beyond the basics cover Android persistence mechanisms, accessing RESTful web services, and more. We’ll look at shared preferences, basic file I/O, and the Sqlite database. We’ll also show how to operate off of the UI thread to access data from remote servers.
The application will access JSON data on a remote server, parse the data, and update the user interface based on the response.
