Android Internals::Developer's View

by Jonathan Levin

Android View is the 2nd Volume of Jonathan Levin's highly acclaimed reference series for Android. Years in the making and fully up-to-date with Android 12.1 and 13 (DP), this book is effectively the only reference on "under the hood" software which drives the world's most popular operating From the native level (Bionic, the Linker and JNI), through the PackageManager, ActivityManager, numerous framework services, Dalvik byte code, the Android Runtime (ART), and finally Binder. Using rich diagrams and detailed annotated outputs and listings, this book takes a hands-on approach, applies the theoretical concepts to the inner workings of the daemons and services on an Android device, and the code behind Android's rich frameworks. The book's website contains a fully searchable online index, and the author would also greatly appreciate if you bought the book through the links there. Thank you!
