Chapter 13. Using TensorFlow Lite in Android Apps

Chapter 12 introduced you to TensorFlow Lite, a set of tools that help you convert your models into a format that can be consumed by mobile or embedded systems. Over the next few chapters you’ll look into how to use those models on a variety of runtimes. Here, you’ll see how to create Android apps that use TensorFlow Lite models. We’ll start with a quick exploration of the main tool used to create Android apps: Android Studio.

What Is Android Studio?

Android Studio is an integrated development environment (IDE) for developing Android apps for a variety of devices, from phones and tablets to TVs, cars, watches, and more. In this chapter we’ll focus on using it for phone apps. It’s available to download for free, and there are versions for all major operating systems.

One of the nice things that Android Studio gives you is an Android emulator, so you can try out apps without needing to own a physical device. You’ll be using that extensively in this chapter! Traditionally Android applications were built using the Java programming language, but recently Google introduced Kotlin to Android Studio, and you’ll use that language in this chapter.
