This is a fairly small update, in which I:
Added a chapter on Android Things
Fixed some flaws in the chapter on RxJava
Added material on using ���transcript mode��� to the chapter on
advanced RecyclerView techniques
Revised the coverage of integrating Java and JavaScript in the chapter on
advanced WebView techniques, including adding material
on using WebMessage and WebMessagePort
Updated the chapter on the Design Support Library,
showing how to use the CWAC-CrossPort edition of those widgets with
Theme.Material, rather than using the Design Support Library and having
to use appcompat-v7
Changed a bunch of sample apps to switch from using onPause() and
onResume() to using onStop() and onStart(), to be friendlier to
multi-window environments
Made various miscellaneous improvements and errata fixes
The next book update should be no later than early April. The timing depends
in large part on if Google ships something significant (Android Studio 2.3?
Android 7.2? O Developer Preview? Android for Datacenters?!? Google Knit?!?!?)
that I need to cover quickly.
