Android Things: The IoT Platform for Everyone
summary
Android Things runs full Android apps but without a Play Store, using the Android SDK, Android Studio, Play Services, Firebase and Google Cloud IoT Core; Google supplies the OS, BSP and OTA update flow via the Android Things Console. Development targets include NXP i.MX7D and Raspberry Pi 3 SOMs; peripherals use either low-level Peripheral I/O or ready-made drivers from the Peripheral Java Library on GitHub. Examples: Edison Candle and Piano Hero prototypes, a Firebase-based power monitor using .info.connected and onDisconnect plus Cloud Functions, and an offline TensorFlow-powered candy dispenser that classifies images and dispenses candy.
