The Busy Coder's Guide to Advanced Android Development Version 2.4 is now available for subscribers in all formats.
This release adds:
A section on using RemoteViews as the basis for a plugin framework, to allow one app to add to the UI of another app.
A chapter on the challenges for writing for the WIMM One wearable Android device.
More coverage of the Loader framework, particularly on what occurs with a Loader during different events, such as the activity being destroyed, the device being rotated, etc.
Brief coverage of the impact of the split action bar on action modes.
A bug fix and explanation for the FeedsActivity, to repair a flaw whereby multiple fragments would overlay each other if you rotated the screen while in the tabs mode.
Errata fixes
I am anticipating another update to this book in about a month. One of the highlights of that release will be coverage of developing for the NOOK line of Android devices.
