  choose from.

  This presentation will cover various Android apps including
  bar-code scanners, SMS service, using the Google API, custom
  settings and User Interfaces.

  the presentation to take advantage of this opportunity to learn
  about the largest growth area in mobile applications.

  To follow along with the workshop you will need:
  * the Android SDK
  * Eclipse IDE (3.4 or newer)
  * Android Development Tools (ADT) Eclipse plugin.
  Setup instructions are found at:
    http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html.

  Windows users, only, will need to install the USB Drivers found at
    http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/USB_Drivers/
