Abstract
In the book thus far, we have focused on the essentials of how to program for the Android platform. In this chapter we want to go under the hood a bit to address the process and threading model for Android programs. This discussion will lead us to signing packages, sharing data between packages, using compile-time libraries, the nature of Android components and how they use threads, and finally the need for handlers and how one can code handlers.
