in PDF, EPUB, and MOBI/Kindle formats. Just log into

Since Q Beta 5 did not change any APIs from Q Beta 4, there were few changes
in this update.

A short new chapter was added on how to use PackageInstaller,
now that ACTION_INSTALL_PACKAGE is deprecated.

Most of the remaining changes are bug fixes.

I am expecting two more updates to this book:

One when Android Q ships as Android 10 to existing devices,
to make any tweaks based on the final
shipping versions plus perhaps add a bit more of new material

One when the next generation of Pixel devices ships, to cover any Android Q
things that are at least initially unique to those devices
