This book is for Android developers who want to apply their skills to build real-world devices capable of interacting with the surrounding environment and to communicate with Android applications. A basic knowledge of Android programming is required to start building real-world devices powered by Android. Prior knowledge of prototyping platforms or circuit building isn't required.

This book will teach you the basics of creating real-world devices through some electronic components that are regularly used during prototype building, and how to integrate them with the Android user interface.
