Course Description

Inside Android takes developers on a hands-on tour of the internals of the Android operating system for mobile devices. Attendees learn the ins and outs of the Android anatomy including the Bionic library, the Wakelock power management architecture, Binder inter-process communication and Dalvik Java Virtual Machine. The accompanying labs demonstrate step-by-step how to setup the Android build environment and bring up Android on new hardware.

Audience

The course is primarily intended for experienced programmers and engineers who are interested in learning the fundamentals of adapting Android to a new target system, especially those who have been assigned to a team tasked with designing an Android device. The purpose is to shorten the learning curve by providing a guided tour of the relevant points within the architecture of Android.

Prerequisites

  • Be proficient in the C programming language.
  • Be familiar with basic Linux (Unix) utilities such as ls, rm, grep, tar, and have a familiarity with command shells and scripts.
  • Be comfortable using any of the available text editors (e.g. vi, emacs).
  • Know the basics of compiling and linking programs, constructing Makefiles, etc.; i.e. be comfortable doing application developing in a Linux or Unix environment.
  • Have a good understanding of systems programming in a Unix or Linux environment, at least from the standpoint of writing applications.
  • Experience with any major Linux distribution is helpful but not strictly required.
If you have a basic understanding of the top-level principles of cross development, where a host system is used to develop and compile software that runs on a different target system, it would be helpful. The course will survey the wide range of CPUs supported by the Linux community that are used in embedded systems, as well as some other hardware components that have good support. The purpose is to introduce resources that can be used to guide component selection when designing embedded systems.
