Android Things - The IoT platform for everyone.
5 likes1,064 views
Rebecca Franks introduces Android Things, an extension of Android for building IoT devices. Android Things allows developers to use familiar Android tools to build intelligent devices that can be securely deployed at scale. It differs from Android by being optimized for embedded devices without displays. Developers can easily integrate hardware using APIs like GPIO, PWM, I2C and drive peripherals. The presentation demonstrates building a simple Android Things app to control an LED from a button press and provides example projects for a distributed piano and electricity monitor using Firebase.
Android Things - The IoT platform for everyone.
- 2. Hello Rebecca Franks Android Engineering Lead at Dynamic Visual Technologies Google Developer Expert for Android riggaroo.co.za @riggaroo
- 6. What is Android Things?
- 7. Android Things is an extension of the Android platform for IoT and embedded devices.
- 8. Cameras Gateways HVAC Control Smart Meters Point of Sale Inventory Control Interactive Ads Vending Machines Security Systems Smart Doorbells Routers Energy Monitors Asset Tracking Fleet Management Driver Assist Predictive Service Ideal for powerful, intelligent devices that need to be secure.
- 9. How is Android Things different? Android Studio Android SDKs & Developer Tools Firebase Libraries Google Cloud Platform SDKs Any other compatible Android/Java libraries...
- 10. IoT Developer Console Automatic Security Updates Signed Images Verified Boot Easy and Secure Deployment
- 11. SoM Architecture Google Managed BSP Scaling to Production
- 12. Android Things for Developers
- 15. Displays are Optional Consider Alternate UI
- 16. Cons ● Only Dev Preview ● Weave not yet available for Android Things ● Very new - Not many examples online - mostly Python ● Some APIs not supported - ie hardwareAcceleration ● Closed Source
- 18. Components Breadboard - Construction base for prototyping electronics Jumper Wire - Used to interconnect the components of a breadboard
- 19. LEDs - Emits visible light when an electric current passes through it Push Switches - Allows electricity to flow between its two contacts Components
- 20. Resistor -Used to reduce current flow Source: http://www.electronicshub.or g/resistor-color-code/ Components and many more...
- 21. Ohm’s Law The current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points. V = I * R V is Voltage (volts) I is Current (amps) R is Resistance (ohms) I = 0.023A V = 5V R = 5V / 0.023A R = ± 217 ohms

- 26. Let’s try live coding..
- 27. In case of emergency
- 28. ● A Raspberry Pi 3 or alternative - Running Android Things ● Create standard project in Android Studio ● Add to app level build.gradle: provided 'com.google.android.things:androidthings:...' Getting Started
- 29. <application ...> <uses-library android:name="com.google.android.things"/> <activity ...> ... <!-- Launch activity automatically on boot --> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/> <category android:name="android.intent.category.IOT_LAUNCHER"/> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/> </intent-filter> </activity> </application> AndroidManifest.xml
- 30. Button button = new Button("BCM6",Button.LogicState.PRESSED_WHEN_LOW); button.setOnButtonEventListener(new Button.OnButtonEventListener() { @Override public void onButtonEvent(final Button button,final boolean pressed) { //... Log.i(TAG, "Button value changed:" + pressed); ledGpio.setValue(pressed); } }); Button Press compile 'com.google.android.things.contrib:driver-button:0.2'
- 31. //get access to the pin PeripheralManagerService service = new PeripheralManagerService(); ledGpio = service.openGpio("BCM6"); ledGpio.setDirection(Gpio.DIRECTION_OUT_INITIALLY_LOW); ledGpio.setValue(true); //remember to close the peripheral ledGpio.close(); Turn on an LED
- 32. Turn it on or off using Firebase Realtime DB FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference("ledKitchen") .addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() { @Override public void onDataChange(final DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) { Boolean value = (Boolean) dataSnapshot.getValue(); ledGpio.setValue(value); //.. handle exceptions } //.. });
- 33. Demo
- 34. Other Examples
- 37. final DatabaseReference onlineRef = firebaseDatabase.child(".info/connected"); final DatabaseReference isPowerOnRef = firebaseDatabase.child("/online"); onlineRef.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() { @Override public void onDataChange(final DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) { if (dataSnapshot.getValue(Boolean.class)) { isPowerOnRef.setValue(true); isPowerOnRef.onDisconnect().setValue(false); } } //.. }); Electricity Monitor - Firebase
