Description
Alles über E-Books | Antworten auf Fragen rund um E-Books, Kopierschutz und Dateiformate finden Sie in unserem Info- & Hilfebereich.
This book shows Android developers how to exploit the rich setof device sensors--locational, physical (temperature,pressure, light, acceleration, etc.), cameras, microphones, andspeech recognition--in order to build fully human-interactiveAndroid applications. Whether providing hands-free directions orchecking your blood pressure, Professional Android SensorProgramming shows how to turn possibility into reality.
The authors provide techniques that bridge the gap betweenaccessing sensors and putting them to meaningful use in real-worldsituations. They not only show you how to use the sensor relatedAPIs effectively, they also describe how to use supporting AndroidOS components to build complete systems. Along the way, theyprovide solutions to problems that commonly occur when usingAndroid's sensors, with tested, real-world examples. Ultimately,this invaluable resource provides in-depth, runnable code examplesthat you can then adapt for your own applications.
* Shows experienced Android developers how to exploit the richset of Android smartphone sensors to build human-interactiveAndroid apps
* Explores Android locational and physical sensors (includingtemperature, pressure, light, acceleration, etc.), as well ascameras, microphones, and speech recognition
* Helps programmers use the Android sensor APIs, use Android OScomponents to build complete systems, and solve commonproblems
* Includes detailed, functional code that you can adapt and usefor your own applications
* Shows you how to successfully implement real-world solutionsusing each class of sensors for determining location, interpretingphysical sensors, handling images and audio, and recognizing andacting on speech

File format: PDF
Copy-Protection: Adobe-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
System requirements:
- Computer (Windows; MacOS X; Linux): Install the free reader Adobe Digital Editions prior to download (see eBook Help).
- Tablet/smartphone (Android; iOS): Install the free app Adobe Digital Editions or the app PocketBook before downloading (see eBook Help).

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
