Android for Dummies

This book focuses on Android technology for both phones and tablets. The difference between the two is slight, primarily that phones can place and receive phone calls, and tablets feature more screen real estate. Beyond that, both devices work identically. Indeed, the existing titles featured a lot of overlap. As with previous titles, this book covers Android technology for a beginner or anyone who uses an Android mobile device and feels that the gizmo is getting the best of them.

This book documents all the features of the Android phone and tablet, approaching them from the point of view of a smart person who is intimidated by the technology and baffled by the scant documentation and online support. All topics for the Android will be covered, from setup and configuration, to use of the phone features: texting, emailing, accessing the internet, maps, navigation, camera and video, synching with a PC, and expanding the device's potential with new software. As usual, humor is generously sprinkled throughout the text. The accessible and fun writing style provides relief but never gets in the way of the book's important content. The reader will end up keeping this book close, referring to it often as they explore the features of their Android phone or tablet. It covers all the updates to the OS through the latest version release.

Updates include:

• Android 10, both the Google Pixel and Samsung versions
• All new screenshots and illustrations
• Privacy protection features
• Updated security and anti-virus features
• System-wide gesture navigation
• Android Auto (for cars)
• Night Light and Dark Mode
• Google Duo for video calling
• Playground camera features

本書專注於Android技術，適用於手機和平板電腦。兩者之間的差異很小，主要是手機可以打電話和接電話，而平板電腦則具有更大的屏幕空間。除此之外，這兩種設備的工作方式完全相同。事實上，現有的書籍中有很多重疊的內容。與之前的書籍一樣，本書針對初學者或任何使用Android移動設備的人，他們覺得這個小玩意正在掌控他們，提供了關於Android技術的涵蓋。

本書記錄了Android手機和平板電腦的所有功能，從一個對技術感到害怕並對有限的文檔和在線支援感到困惑的聰明人的角度來看待它們。將涵蓋Android的所有主題，從設置和配置到使用手機功能：發送短信、發送電子郵件、訪問互聯網、地圖、導航、相機和視頻、與PC同步以及通過新軟件擴展設備的潛力。與以往一樣，本書在文本中大量使用幽默。易於理解且有趣的寫作風格提供了舒緩，但不會妨礙書中重要內容的理解。讀者將經常翻閱本書，以便在探索Android手機或平板電腦的功能時查找相關信息。本書涵蓋了截至最新版本發布的操作系統的所有更新。
