Summary

In this first chapter we have learned about the big picture of Android Things, the vision behind the platform, and how it compares to other IoT platforms. We explored the different developer kits available so you can pick the one that suits you best and learned how to install Android Things on them and how to connect them to our development computer. Finally, we followed the creation of a basic project for Android Things with Android Studio, saw how it is structured, and looked at the differences with a default Android project.

Now that we have everything ready, it is time to start tinkering with the Rainbow HAT, which will be the focus of our next chapter.
