Ch8 is a world of pain! Don't know if I'll ever get my head round content providers, and there isn't one for generic email, not even an official Gmail one.

6 was web stuff as constrained by mobile, so SAX and DOM, also download manager, putting all web activity on background threads etc. Illuminating stuff.

7 is files and the preference "framework".

Chapter 5 is all about Intents, mind-bending. Big fights with the IDE, rather proud of making it this far, looking forwards to more.

Ouch, done chapter 4! Layouts, fragments, activities, views, adaptors; all done without the help of Eclipse views, suppose we do need to know the basics. All set up on the test rig, onwards to Ch 5 & Intents!

Heavioso! Chap 3 is all about the manifest file, resources, the application and activities. Roll on some examples, these concepts are blowing my mind! Ah well, suppose this is the map of the planet.
