Warescription

If you purchased the Warescription, read on! If you obtained this book from other channels, feel free to jump ahead.

The Warescription entitles you, for the duration of your subscription, to digital editions of this book and its updates, in PDF, EPUB, and Kindle (MOBI/KF8) formats, plus the ability to read the book online at the Warescription Web site. You also have access to other books that CommonsWare publishes during that subscription period.

Each subscriber gets personalized editions of all editions of each title. That way, your books are never out of date for long, and you can take advantage of new material as it is made available.

However, you can only download the books while you have an active Warescription. There is a grace period after your Warescription ends: you can still download the book until the next book update comes out after your Warescription ends. After that, you can no longer download the book. Hence, please download your updates as they come out. You can find out when new releases of this book are available via:

1. The CommonsBlog
2. The CommonsWare Twitter feed
3. Opting into emails announcing each book release — log into the Warescription site and choose Configure from the nav bar
4. Just check back on the Warescription site every month or two

Subscribers also have access to other benefits, including:

• “Office hours” — online chats to help you get answers to your Android application development questions. You will find a calendar for these on your Warescription page.
• A Stack Overflow “bump” service, to get additional attention for a question that you have posted there that does not have an adequate answer.
• A discussion board for asking arbitrary questions about Android app development.
