Hour 3. Building Android Applications

What You’ll Learn in This Hour:

Designing a typical Android application

Using the application context

Working with activities, intents, and dialogs

Logging application information

Every platform technology uses different terminology to describe its application components. The three most important classes on the Android platform are Context, Activity, and Intent. Although there are other, more advanced, components developers can implement, these three components form the building blocks for each and every Android application. This hour focuses on understanding how Android applications are put together and gives you a look at some handy utility classes that can help developers debug applications.
