Abstract
Android can do more than present a GUI on a smartphone. Android is also about wearables, talking to appropriately equipped TV sets and infotainment in cars. Smartphones also have cameras, NFC and Bluetooth adapters, and sensors for position, movement, orientation, and fingerprints. And yes, smartphones can do phone calls as well. This chapter describes how the Android OS can run on devices other than smartphones and how to interact with the device’s hardware.
