Need a contact?
Use the force, Luke
Asking for contact
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);intent.setType(Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE);startActivityForResult(intent, MY_REQUEST_CODE);
void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (data != null) { Uri uri = data.getData(); if (uri != null) { Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(uri, new String[] {Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME,
Phone.NUMBER}, null,null, null) }
}}
Asking for contact
Need a UUID?
Option 1: TelephonyManager.getDeviceIdRequires READ_PHONE_STATE.
Option 2: Settings.Secure.ANDROID_IDReset at wipeFollows the device, not the user.
Use the force, Luke
Generate UUIDUse backup API
Step 2: First Launch“ok, let’s see what this app is all about”

A bunch of data to insert?
SQLTransactions speeds things up
db.beginTransaction();
try{ for(int i=0; i<selectedIds.length; i++){ values.put(COLUMN_ID,selectedIds[i]); values.put(COLUMN_STARRED,starred); db.insert(TABLE_STARRED,null,values); db.yieldIfContendedSafely(); } db.setTransactionSuccessful();}finally { db.endTransaction();}
Bulk DB update
Not fast enough?
Server Side● Create a db file using SQLite and
fill it.● Name your primary key columns
“_id”● Create a table:
“android_metadata”● Insert a single row containing the
locale (ex: "en_US")
Import ready to use DB
Mobile Side● Grab the zipped DB from assets
or network.● Unzip it to your getDatabaseDir()● Use as usual
Import ready to use DB

Always up to dateUsers don't like to wait. • Location updated.• Data downloaded from web.
Always up to dateUsers don't like to wait. • Location updated.• Data downloaded from web.
Find the location fast.• Loop through all providers->getLastKnownLoc.
• If there is one or more location which is recent enough – return the most accurate one
• If not – Return the latest one.• In case of #2 – look for “fastest” provider:
• Coarse Accuracy && low power consumption. • Register for location update.
Use passive location• >Gingerbread. • Passive location – Receive location update when other app is using
location provider. • Requires ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission.• Location.getProvider().
Fused Location• Define your priorities • Let Google play services do the heavy lifting.
// Create an instance of GoogleAPIClient.if (mGoogleApiClient == null) { mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this) .addConnectionCallbacks(this) .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this) .addApi(LocationServices.API) .build();}
Using fused location
@Overridepublic void onConnected(Bundle connectionHint) { //get last known location mLastLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation( mGoogleApiClient); if (mLastLocation != null) { //do something }
//register for location updates LocationRequest request = LocationRequest.create(); request.setInterval(minTime); request.setPriority(lowPowerMoreImportantThanAccuracy ? LocationRequest.PRIORITY.BALANCED_POWER_ACCURACY : LocationRequest.PRIORITY_HIGH_ACCURACY ); LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.requestLocationUpdates(mGoogleApiClient, request, this);}
Using fused location
@Overridepublic void onLocationChanged(Location location) { mCurrentLocation = location; mLastUpdateTime = DateFormat.getTimeInstance().format(new Date()); updateUI();}
Using fused location
Data updates
The challenges:• When to update?• Where the data is coming from?• What to update?• How to update?
When to update my App?• Right before the user launches it
• Assuming I have battery.• Assuming I have BW.
Where the data is coming from?• My Server• 3rd Party Servers

Being Invisible• I don't need to think how the app works.• I never notice the app's work.• I am never being bothered by the app.
Work OfflineQueue and Send transactions.• Use persistence layer.• Tape From Square.
Work Semi-Offline• Be resilient to poor networks.
• Prioritize your transactions.• Be able to cancel transaction on the fly, or clear the Queue.• Adjust your app’s behavior and timeouts accordingly.
• Use Volley (or any other cool transport layer)
Be efficient – Data usage
Radio Resource• Frequency is expensive. • Cell tower can not service 100% of its clients 100% of the time. • Frequency is dynamically allocated to clients.
• Cellular cells uses various multiplexing methods (OFDM/OFDMA, FTDMA).

Avoid bursty traffic• Transmit data “together”.
• Piggyback if needed.• Pre-fetch data for the next 2-5 minutes.
• Don't ping just to keep TCP connection alive• RRC != TCP Connection.• TCP connection is kept even in IDLE mode
#1: Case study: Pandora• Music file streamed as single file.• Analytics data sends ~2KB every 62.5 seconds

#1: Case study: Pandora
0.2% of data consumed 46% of energy!
Don't be HTTP rookie• Don't download what you already have.• Take care of server headers
• Max-age, expires. • Use conditional GET when cache expires
• Use “last modified” header.• Server return 304, with no body.
Don't be lazy• Read AT&T research:
• Top Radio Resources Issues in Mobile Applications• AT&T Lab Research – call for more efficient apps
• Watch my BABBQ talk - Building battery efficient apps • (or ask yonathan to invite me once more ;-) )
• Use ARO.• Developed by AT&T.• Monitors and analyze network activity. • http://developer.att.com/• https://github.com/attdevsupport/ARO
Adaptive App• Optimized for different User Experience.
• User has more than one device. • Be predictable.• Behave as expected
Text Input• Specify the Edit Text input to show the right keyboard type.
• use android:inputType attribute• Four classes of keyboards:
• Plain text• Decimal Number• Phone Number• Date or Time
Text Input• Plain text types:
• URIs• Email address• People's names• Postal address• Passwords
