Course Outline

Android provides a rich application framework that allows you to build innovative apps and games for mobile devices in a Java and native languages. We can also find Android OS on many embedded systems as a good replacement to Embedded Linux. Using android as an "improved Linux" saves time because you get all you need out of the box (libraries, packages, data services, etc.) This course covers the internal side of android from top to bottom. You will learn how to use android in an embedded environment, how to access hardware and handling interrupts all over the android stack, and how data flows from the java application down to the kernel driver and the hardware.

- Understand the android stack - Learn how to use android effectively in embedded/real-time systems - Learn how to add kernel module in android - Learn how to add native components - Learn how to add system services - Learn how to create a system/user app
