Dave Smith, Google Android Things is an exciting platform for Android developers because it enables building smart, connected devices using the same frameworks and tools they are familiar with. But there can also be a bit of a learning curve in transitioning from mobile development to working in IoT. Suddenly, you are responsible for the hardware that goes into the device, and determining how you are going to communicate with it! In this presentation we will explore the basics of interacting with hardware peripherals and protocols, and some of the tips and tricks for building an Android app that runs on an embedded device. https://goo.gl/tqtSpH droidcon NYC - http://droidcon.nyc ********************************************* droidcon NYC has become an event where the American and International Android development and design community come together to share what’s new and what they’ve been working on.
