Overview of this book

Android Things makes developing connected embedded devices easy by providing the same Android development tools, best-in-class Android framework, and Google APIs that make developers successful on mobile. With this book, you will be able to take advantage of the new Android framework APIs to securely build projects using low-level components such as sensors, resistors, capacitors, and display controllers. This book will teach you all you need to know about working with Android Things through practical projects based on home automation, robotics, IoT, and so on. We’ll teach you to make the most of the Android Things and build enticing projects such as a smart greenhouse that controls the climate and environment automatically. You’ll also create an alarm system, integrate Android Things with IoT cloud platforms, and more. By the end of this book, you will know everything about Android Things, and you’ll have built some very cool projects using the latest technology that is driving the adoption of IoT. You will also have primed your mindset so that you can use your knowledge for profitable, practical projects.

Preface

Summary


In this chapter, we covered how to integrate Android Things with IoT cloud platforms. Moreover, we have covered how to stream data to the cloud and how to create dashboards using the data sent. Now we are ready to use other kinds of IoT platforms and integrate the Android Things boards with cloud services. The concepts developed in this chapter can be applied to other IoT platforms even if they have different features and capabilities. In the next chapter, we will learn how to use Android Things to control remote IoT boards that do not support Android Things. We will implement a master-slave architecture where the Android Things board is the master and the slaves are the low-level boards such as Arduino UNO.
