Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "In Java, an HttpsURLConnection can be used for secure data transfer over a network."

A block of code is set as follows:

release {
  storeFile file("../my-release-key.jks")
  storePassword "password"
  keyAlias "my-alias"
  keyPassword "password"
}

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

release {
  storeFile file("../my-release-key.jks")
  storePassword "password"
  keyAlias "my-alias"
  keyPassword "password"
}

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

./gradlew assembleRelease

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Enter the rest of your account details as required and click COMPLETE REGISTRATION to finish the account registration process."
