Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "The setTorchMode() method has been added to control the flash torch mode."

A block of code is set as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<full-backup-content>
  <exclude domain="database" path="sensitive_database_name.db"/>
  <exclude domain="sharedpref" path="androidapp_shared_prefs_name"/>
  <exclude domain="file" path="some_file.file_Extension"/>
  <exclude domain="file" path="some_file.file_Extension"/>
</full-backup-content>

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

$ adb shell sm set-force-adoptable true
