Android Things 101

" summary

Android Things runs on Raspberry Pi 3 with Rainbow HAT and is in Developer Preview 0.5.1. Workflow: flash the Android Things image, connect ADB over Wi‑Fi (or use HDMI to read the IP), add the support library and declare the IOT_LAUNCHER intent so one app boots on startup. Code uses PeripheralManagerService to open GPIO, LCD, RGB strip, temperature sensor and piezo; always close peripherals. Input drivers map buttons to key events but require a reboot permission. Cloud: use Firebase Realtime Database or FCM for device <-> app sync.
