Preface
=======
Android is a linux-based, open source mobile operating system developed by Open Handset Allience and backed by Google. See the `official site <http://www.android.com/about/>`_ for general details.
Though being relatively easy to enter, Android development would require fair understanding of programming and its common concepts. Even basic familiarity with Java or C++ is advantageous.
For the quick start with Android development, you should get yourself accustomed with some fundamental Android aspects:
#. Activity and its lifecycle. Information on this essential Android class is available on the `official site for Android developers <http://developer.android.com/training/basics/activity-lifecycle/starting.html>`_ (see first two sections) or on the corresponding page of the `reference <http://developer.android.com/training/basics/activity-lifecycle/starting.html>`_.
#. OpenCV development will certainly require some knowlege of the `Android camera <http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/camera.html>`_ essentials.
#. Some basic understanding of `Java Native Interface <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Native_Interface>`_ will help you to apprehend the concept of using native code in Java.
Quick environment setup for Android development
