Android Studio New Media Fundamentals

About The Book

Welcome to Android Studio New Media Fundamentals. This book will take you through the foundation of new media principles and concepts so that you have a firm foundation regarding what Android Studio and the Android OS offer in the area of new media support. New media, sometimes referred to as rich media or multimedia, spans a number of professional artist occupations, which is why a multimedia producer has to be good at producing all forms of new media.

This book seeks to enhance your knowledge of new media fundamentals and how they apply to Android Studio so that you can make Android apps that are more stimulating to the senses and thus more popular! In this chapter, you’ll take a look at the different forms of new media supported by the Android OS and how they can help your applications stand apart from the competition.

You will also install professional-quality, open-source software applications for each of the new media genres, so that you will be able to produce new media content for Android applications. This book makes the assumption that you’re already up to speed on Android Studio and the feature set you have downloaded and installed it, and you are busy programming Android applications.

I wrote this book to bolster your knowledge of the new media portion of the Android Studio equation so that you will be able to add custom multimedia assets to your Android application instead of using the canned UI components that come with the operating system. Throughout the rest of the book, there are two chapters per new media type (genre) to get you up to speed on the fundamentals and to learn how these new media types are supported in Android Studio; you’ll also learn about the principles of data footprint optimization.

This book does not cover Android Studio, at least not directly; I assume that you have already downloaded and installed Android Studio and that you know the basics. I have an Android Apps for Absolute Beginners (Apress, 2014) title that covers these topics if you need that foundational knowledge.
