This update:

  • Adds a chapter on hosting slices, plus updates the existing coverage of publishing slices

  • Updates the Android 9.0 appendix for the final release of 9.0, plus extends coverage of the StrictMode callback option added in 9.0

  • Adds a section on using ListAdapter with RecyclerView

  • Updates the material on LeakCanary for version 1.6.1

  • Updates the chapter on Samsung DeX to cover the DeX Pad

  • Updates the chapter on Chrome OS to cover Chrome OS tablets and Chromeboxes (Chrome OS desktop devices)

  • Retires the chapter on embedding a Web server in an Android app

  • Has a slight change to the PDF formatting rules to try to keep images and their preceding paragraphs together

  • Has other bug fixes and minor improvements

The timing of the next update to this book depends a bit on the release schedules for AndroidX 1.0.0 and Android Studio 3.2. My guess is that this will come out in 2-3 months, with lots of other material showing up in other books between now and then.
