Today's Android apps developers are often running into the need to refine, improve and optimize their apps performances. As more complex apps can be created, it is even more important for developers to deal with this critical issue. Android allows developers to write apps using Java, C or a combination of both with the Android SDK and the Android NDK. Pro Android Apps Performance Optimization reveals how to fine-tune your Android apps, making them more stable and faster. In this book, you'll learn the following: How to optimize your Java code with the SDK, but also how to write and optimize native code using advanced features of the Android NDK such as using ARM single instruction multiple data (SIMD) instructions (in C or assembly) How to use multithreading in your application, how make best use of memory and how to maximize battery life How to use to some OpenGL optimizations and to Renderscript, a new feature in Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) and expanded in Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). After reading and using this book, you'll be a better coder and your apps will be better-coded. Better-performing apps mean better reviews and eventually, more money for you as the app developer or your indie shop. What you’ll learn How to optimize your applications in Java How to optimize your applications using the NDK How to best use memory to maximize performance How to maximize battery life How and when to use multi-threading How to benchmark and profile your code How to optimize OpenGL code and use Renderscript Who this book is for Android developers already familiar with Java and Android SDK, who want to go one step further and learn how to maximize performance. Table of Contents Optimizing Java code Getting started with the Android NDK Using advanced NDK features Using memory efficiently Multithreading and synchronization Benchmarking and profiling your application Maximizing battery life OpenGL optimizations Renderscript

Unique and clever ideas are important when building a hot-selling Android app, but the real drivers for success are speed, efficiency, and power management. With this practical guide, you’ll learn the major performance issues confronting Android app developers, and the tools you need to diagnose problems early. Customers are finally realizing that apps have a major role in the performance of their Android devices. Author Doug Sillars not only shows you how to use Android-specific testing tools from companies including Google, Qualcomm, and AT&T, but also helps you explore potential remedies. You’ll discover ways to build apps that run well on all 19,000 Android device types in use. Understand how performance issues affect app sales and retention Build an Android device lab to maximize UI, functional, and performance testing Improve the way your app interacts with device hardware Optimize your UI for fast rendering, scrolling, and animations Track down memory leaks and CPU issues that affect performance Upgrade communications with the server, and learn how your app performs on slower networks Apply Real User Monitoring (RUM) to ensure that every device is delivering the optimal user experience
