Android thanks

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
FIRST, I’D LIKE TO THANK KRISTY, whose love, patience, and understanding are pushed to new limits
every time I forget what’s involved in writing a book and agree to do another one. Your support
makes everything I do possible.
A big thank you to my friends and colleagues at Google, particularly the Android engineers and my
colleagues in developer relations. The pace at which Android grows makes life diffi cult for those of
us who choose to write books, but the opportunities it creates for developers makes the stress and
rewrites easy to bear.
I also thank Dan Ulery for his sharp eye and valuable insights; Robert Elliot and John Sleeva for
their patience in waiting for me to get this book fi  nished; San Dee Phillips; and the whole team at
Wrox for helping to get it done.
A special shout-out goes out to the entire Android developer community. Your passion, hard work,
and excellent applications have helped make Android the huge success that it is. Thank you.
