1st Edition
by Shaun Lewis (Author), Mike Dunn (Author)
Learn how to make mobile
native app development easier. If your team frequently works with both
iOS and Android—or plans to transition from one to the other—this
hands-on guide shows you how to perform the most common development
tasks in each platform. Want to learn how to make network connections in
iOS? Or how to work with a database in Android? This book has you
covered.
In the book’s first part, authors Shaun Lewis and Mike
Dunn from O’Reilly’s mobile engineering group provide a list of common,
platform-agnostic tasks. The second part helps you create a bare-bones
app in each platform, using the techniques from part one.
- Common file and database operations
- Network communication with remote APIs
