Overview of this book

Take a deep dive into the Android build system and its customization with Learning Embedded Android Programming, written to help you master the steep learning curve of working with embedded Android. Start by exploring the basics of Android OS, discover Google’s “repo” system, and discover how to retrieve AOSP source code. You'll then find out to set up the build environment and the first AOSP system. Next, learn how to customize the boot sequence with a new animation, and use an Android “kitchen” to “cook” your custom ROM. By the end of the book, you'll be able to build customized Android open source projects by developing your own set of features.

Summary


This chapter was a great run! You prepared your system to build your first Android system. You learned how to configure and customize the build system. You learned the basic skills to create a custom module and include it into your system image. You created a system image from scratch and tested it on the Android emulator.

In the next chapter, we will raise the bar. We are going to move our efforts to a real hardware device. We will work with a smartphone, the Nexus 5, and a development board, the UDOO. We will manipulate the bootloader and the recovery partition to take complete control of the system.
