Code (top)

target.subtypeAccess = "success!!"; // ERROR!!

should read

target.subtypeAccess = "fail!!"; // ERROR!!

for text consistency with the rest of the code.

Example 8-14

I'm not sure if I'm missing something, so forgive me if I am, but it seems like the line:

camera.translate(0.0F, 0.0F, z);

should be

camera.translate(0.0F, 0.0F, -z);

To have the view actually shrink into the distance...that is, if Z_MAX is positive (which is totally an assumption on my part...).

4th method of code example

Example code in "Delegating to Fragment Classes" has case bug that would be caught by @Override.

public void onresume() { ... }

Looks like it should be:

@Override public void onResume() { ... }

Just the sort of typo that @Override catches.
