iiiThis Android book is dedicated to everyone in the open source community who is working so diligently
to make professional application development software and new media content development tools
freely available for all of us application developers to leverage in order to achieve our creative dreams
and financial goals. Last but certainly not least, I dedicate the third edition of this educational book to
my family, my life-long friends, and cool ranching neighbors, for their constant help and assistance, as
well as for those smoky, savory, late night BBQ parties.
