Welcome to the source code for _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android

The names of the top-level directories roughly correspond to a
shortened form of the chapter titles. Since chapter numbers
change with every release, and since some samples are used by
multiple chapters, I am loathe to put chapter numbers in the
actual directory names.
Here is a lineup of chapters with sample projects and their
corresponding directory names, in chapter order:
Skeleton Creating a Skeleton Application
Layouts Using XML-Based Layouts
Basic Employing Basic Widgets
Containers Working with Containers
Selection Using Selection Widgets
FancyLists Getting Fancy with Lists
Fancy Employing Fancy Widgets and Containers
Menus Applying Menus
Fonts Fonts
WebKit Embedding the WebKit Browser
Messages Showing Pop-Up Messages
Threads Dealing with Threads
Prefs Using Preferences
Files Accessing Files

Java Leveraging Java Libraries
Internet Communicating via the Internet
Activities Launching Activities and Sub-Activities
Introspection Finding Available Actions via Introspection
Notifications Alerting Users Via Notifications
Maps Mapping with MapView and MapActivity

Search Searching with SearchManager
In addition, the "Managing and Accessing Local Databases" and
the two chapters on content providers ("Using a Content Provider"
and "Building a Content Provider") use the ContentProvider
directory of samples.
Also, "Creating a Service" and "Invoking a Service" share the
Service directory of samples.
