In this update, I:

Added more coverage of Android O, including:

SMS tokens

Tooltips

ProxyFileDescriptorCallback

Auto-sizing TextView

PreferenceDataStore

Cleartext traffic bans with WebView

Updated the chapter on Android O���s autofill feature to comply with the O
Developer Preview 2 changes

Updated the Android Things chapter for Developer Preview 4

Updated the Chrome OS chapter to reflect new device support and slight
changes in the developer onboarding process

Plus, I fixed various bugs and made other minor improvements.

The EPUB edition works with Google Play Books. And there was much rejoicing.

The next book update should be in late July or early August, continuing
the updates for Android O, and possibly addressing Android Studio 3.0 if that
ships in the release channel by then.
