What This Book Is Not About

If you own an Android phone you’re probably worried about apps with hidden malware, or what permissions you should or shouldn’t accept. We won’t be covering those issues as the focus of the book is on Android developers who want to write more secure Android apps, not someone who owns an Android phone. What’s more, we’re not going to discuss how to root your phone because that really doesn’t have much to do with writing secure code. We will touch on its implications for secure apps, but we won’t be showing you how to root your phone. From a developer’s perspective, that’s why you have an emulator.
