Pro Android 2 Covers Google’s Android 2 Platform including advanced shows you how to build real-world mobile apps using Google’s Android SDK. Android is easy to learn yet comprehensive, and is rich in functionality. topics such as OpenGL, Widgets, Text to Speech, The absence of licensing fees for Android OS has borne fruit already with many Multi-Touch, and Titanium Mobile distinct device manufacturers and a multiplicity of models and carriers. Indi- vidual developers have a great opportunity to publish mobile applications on 2 Android the Android Market; in only five months’ time the number of applications has doubled, with over 20,000 available today. And the widespread use of Android has increased demand for corporate developers as companies are looking for a mobile presence. You can be part of this. With real-world source code in hand, Pro Android 2 covers mobile application development for the Android platform from basic concepts such as Android Resources, Intents, and Content Providers to OpenGL, Text to Speech, Multi- touch, Home Screen Widgets, and Titanium Mobile. We teach you how to build Android applications by taking you through Android APIs, from basic to ad- vanced, one step at a time. Android makes mobile programming far more accessible than any other mobile platforms available today. At no cost to you, you can download the Eclipse IDE and the Android SDK, and you will have everything you need to start writing great applications for Android mobile devices. You will not even need a physical device—the Android SDK provides an emulator that you can run on your desktop. Pro Android 2 is the result of over two years of effort to bring together in one place everything you need—both basic and advanced—to be an Android developer. So what are you waiting for?

Since its launch in 1995, the landscape has changed significantly. Java has extended its reach far beyond desktop machines. Two years after the intro- duction of Java, a new edition was released, Java 2 Enterprise Edition, pro- viding support for large-scale, enterprise-wide applications. The most recent addition to the family is the Micro Edition, targeting “information appli- ances,” ranging from Internet-enabled TV set-top boxes to cellular phones. Java Editions Let’s begin with a quick summary of the Java platforms currently available: • Standard Edition (J2SE): Designed to run on desktop and workstations computers. 1 ch01.qxd 12/5/2001 9:16 AM Page 2 2 Chapter 1 The Basics of J2ME • Enterprise Edition (J2EE): With built-in support for Servlets, JSP, and XML, this edition is aimed at server-based applications. • Micro Edition (J2ME): Designed for devices with limited memory, display and processing power. Note In December of 1998, Sun introduced the name “Java 2” (J2) to coincide with the release of Java 1.2.This new naming convention applies to all edi- tions of Java, Standard Edition (J2SE), Enterprise Edition (J2EE), and Micro Edition (J2ME).

  • Program Transformation with Reflection and Aspect-Oriented
    Program Transformation with Reflection and Aspect-Oriented Programming Shigeru Chiba Dept. of Mathematical and Computing Sciences Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan Abstract. A meta-programming technique known as reflection can be regarded as a sophisticated programming interface for program trans- formation. It allows software developers to implement various useful program transformation without serious efforts. Although the range of program transformation enabled by reflection is quite restricted, it cov- ers a large number of interesting applications. In particular, several non-functional concerns found in web-application software, such as dis- tribution and persistence, can be implemented with program transforma- tion by reflection. Furthermore, a recently emerging technology known as aspect-oriented programming (AOP) provides better and easier pro- gramming interface than program transformation does. One of the roots of AOP is reflection and thus this technology can be regarded as an ad- vanced version of reflection. In this tutorial, we will discuss basic concepts of reflection, such as compile-time reflection and runtime reflection, and its implementation techniques. The tutorial will also cover connection between reflection and aspect-oriented programming. 1 Introduction One of significant techniques of modern software development is to use an appli- cation framework, which is a component library that provides basic functionality for some particular application domain. If software developers use such an ap- plication framework, they can build their applications by implementing only the components intrinsic to the applications. However, this approach brings hid- den costs; the developers must follow the protocol of the application framework when they implement the components intrinsic to their applications. Learning this framework protocol is often a serious burden of software developers.

  • A Retargetable Optimizing Java-To-C Compiler for Embedded Systems
    A Retargetable Optimizing Java-to-C Compiler for Embedded Systems by Ankush Varma Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland,College Park in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science 2003 Advisory Committee: Professor Shuvra Bhattacharyya, Chair Professor Bruce Jacob Professor Manoj Franklin A Retargetable Optimizing Java-to-C Compiler for Embedded SystemsSeptember 10, 2003 1 Abstract Title of Thesis: “A Retargetable Optimizing Java-to-C Compiler for Embedded Systems” Degree candidate: Ankush Varma Degree and year: Master of Science, 2003. Thesis directed by: Professor Shuvra S. Bhattacharyya Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Maryland, College Park The Java programming language is achieving greater acceptance in high-end embedded systems such as cellphones and PDAs. However, low- end embedded platforms, such as DSPs or microcontrollers, often have no more than a C compiler, and this prevents Java applications from being run on such systems. Applications must either be re-written in C, or a Java Vir- tual Machine must be ported to each such system. This paper discusses a compiler that converts portable Java bytecode to C code, allowing applications written in Java to run on embedded systems which may lack a Java Virtual Machine. This is also applicable to bare- bones embedded systems running without an operating system. We briefly describe code generation strategies, run-time data structures and optimiza- tion algorithms used to generate efficient C code. The code size and execu- tion time of the C code were compared with interpreted Java, just-in-time compiled Java, and executables generated directly from Java.

  • Secure Method Calls by Instrumenting Bytecode with Aspects
    Secure Method Calls by Instrumenting Bytecode with Aspects Xiaofeng Yang and Mohammad Zulkernine School of Computing, Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada, K7L 3N6 {yang,mzulker}@cs.queensu.ca Abstract. Today most mobile devices embed Java runtime environ- ment for Java programs. Java applications running on mobile devices are mainly MIDP (Mobile Information Device Profile) applications. They can be downloaded from the Internet and installed directly on the device. Although the virtual machine performs type-safety checking or verifies bytecode with signed certificates from third-party, the program still has the possibility of containing risky code. Inappropriate use of sensitive method calls may cause loss of personal assets on mobile devices. More- over, source code is not accessible for most installed applications, making it difficult to analyze the behavior at source-code level. To better protect the device from malicious code, we propose an approach of bytecode in- strumentation with aspects at bytecode level. The instrumentation pin- points the location of statements within methods, rather than at the interface of method calls. The aspects are woven around the statement for tracking. The weaving is performed at bytecode level without requir- ing source code of the program. Keywords: Bytecode instrumentation, aspects, code security. 1 Introduction Mobile technology is very popular nowadays. More and more applications are running on mobile devices such as cellphones and PDAs, etc. Mobile code can easily migrate from one site to another, and even to a personal cellphone. Java applications are popularly running on mobile devices that embed Java Runtime Environments. User’s information may be at risk as they are not usually aware of the programs they are running on their devices, for example, the unauthorized SMS (Short Message Service) sending programs [1] can be executed without any authorization of a user.
