Android developer and consultant Blake Meike has created a complete cookbook of best-practice solutions for fully making use of the multi-core processors and heavily cached architectures now widespread on Android devices, and for taking advantage of significant improvements in the Android 5 (Lollipop) release. The book has practical solutions for everything from inter-thread communication to network communication to debugging complex concurrency issues.
