Developing Android Applications with Adobe AIR [1]
Chapters 6 through 14 cover functionality-specific topics like multitouch technology, using the accelerometer, using the native camera, geolocation, audio, video, and more.
Chapters 15 through 17 cover some more advanced topics, propose an architecture to manage multiple views, and offer the code for a full application.
Chapters 18 and 19 provide suggestions on best practices for asset management and development.
In addition, this book has a companion website from which you can download code samples that you can compile and install on your mobile device.
Conventions Used in This Book
The following typographical conventions are used in this book:
Italic
Indicates filenames, file extensions, directory paths, URLs, email addresses, and new terms where they are defined
Constant width
Indicates language and script elements, such as class names, types, namespaces, attributes, methods, variables, keywords, functions, modules, commands, properties, parameters, values, objects, events, XML and HTML tags, and similar elements

NOTE
This icon signifies a tip, suggestion, or general note.
WARNING
This icon indicates a warning or caution.
Note that I prefer placing curly braces on the same line of code, as I feel this makes the code easier to read in print form and does not use space unnecessarily. I also did away with the convention of private variables with an underscore for the same reason.
I introduce a new API or class in small code segments to illustrate an explanation.
