IoT for Android Developers

on YouTube ↗41m

" summary

Android Things brings full Android APIs and Google Play services to embedded devices, runs on a purchasable system‑on‑module (SOM) instead of custom boards, and uses the Android Things console for secure OTA image and app deployment. The platform exposes peripheral APIs — GPIO, PWM, I2C, SPI, UART — plus user drivers to inject sensors and GPS into SensorManager/LocationManager. Expect to prototype on Raspberry Pi or NXP dev kits, push hardware I/O on background threads, and watch for Java bitwise/signed‑byte pitfalls. Contest: 120 NXP modules giveaway; project deadline Oct 31.
