Presentation Transcript

  1. Wrap Up CSE 5236: Mobile Application Development Instructor: Adam C. Champion Course Coordinator: Dr. Rajiv Ramnath

  2. Essence of a Mobile Device • The dominant end-user device • Available to serve everywhere, any time. • Interwoven into daily life – live, work, play, study • Represents and intimately “knows” the user • Brings in the outside world – sensing, location, communication

  3. Varied Shapes, Sizes, Capabilities

  4. Mobile Application Development Challenges • Competitive, fluid vendor landscape (Apple, Android consortium including Amazon, RIM, HP) means apps need to be multi-platform for wide adoption • No “standard” device • Low input bandwidth (in most cases) • Limited screen size • Unreliability in connectivity and device (network access, power, ambient light, noise) • Integration tradeoffs with cloud and enterprise services

  5. Application Development Support • Java • Integrated into “frameworks” specifically for mobile application development • Cross-platform frameworks: Titanium, RhoMobile, PhoneGap • C++ and C

  6. Framework Support (e.g. Android)

  7. Framework Concepts, Capabilities and Add-Ons • Concepts: • Loose-coupling (Intents) • Built-in reusability (Activities, Broadcast Receivers) • Built-In Services: • Standard Java libraries • GUI, Fragments, Skins, OpenGL • OS services (file I/O, threads, device management), Graphics • Device access (camera, music and video players) • Sensors – GPS, accelerometer, light, magnetic, NFC • Web-services, Networking • XML processing • Security – via access management, isolation, usual security concerns and techniques (Bluetooth hacking, DDoS attacks, privacy of location information) • Add-ons: • Maps • Database support (SQLite) • Gaming • WebKit/Chromium • Various app stores

  8. IDE Support • Android Studio and Eclipse: Windows, Mac, Linux • Xcode: Mac only (for iOS development) • Visual Studio: Windows only (for Windows Phone development) • Testing tools (test management, unit tests) • Performance profiling tools • SCM integration (Git, SVN, CVS) • Emulator • Sensor injection (GPS, other sensors)
