Kick-starting Android Application Development
Matthias Kaeppler - Qype
Matthias will talk about kick-starting Android Application Development:
"Due to its basis in Java, the Android SDK is a simple way to get
started with app development, even for those developers not coming from
a mobile background. Still, the Android framework lacks standard,
re-usable solutions to many recurring tasks, making it more difficult
than necessary to get an application off the ground quickly. Thanks to
the amazing Android development community, we have plenty of utility
libraries today that patch these holes in the Android framework. In this
talk I will present a selection of these freely available libraries,
which will help kick-start app development, by managing your objects and
builds, and by offering ready-to-use solutions for the most common
issues."

Motion Recognition with Android Devices
Gabor Paller - Sfonge Ltd
A built-in accelerometer is an almost obligatory feature of Android
devices. This sensor enables the auto-rotation feature and is used e.g.
in game applications for tilt-controlling the action. This presentation
discusses the usage of accelerometer for detecting dynamic motion
patterns. Shake or walk detection are very common use cases but exotic
features like dance detection can also improve the usability of a
specific application significantly. Android does not have platform-level
motion recognizer module therefore developers need to be aware, how to
detect motion patterns in the accelerometer's sample stream. We will
examine the most frequently used motion detection methods. The effect on
battery consumption will also be presented.
