What
is
Andro
id?

Android or Android
technology or more
emphatically Android operating
platform is a stack of software
for mobile devices. This stack of
mobile devices consists of
different layers that include an
operating system, middleware
and key applications to run on
the operating platform.

History of
Android was found way back
Android in 2003.
It was developed in Palo Alto,
California.
Android was developed by
the Andy Rubin, Rich Miner,
Nick Sears and Chris White.

It is a group of 84 technology and

mobile companies who have come
together to accelerate innovation
in mobile and offer consumers a
richer less expensive and better
mobile experience.
This group of companies are
allowed to use source code of
Android and develop applications.

The Android Open Source

Project is an initiative created
to guide development of the
Android mobile platform. The
Android mobile platform
consists of the operating
system, middleware and
integral mobile application.
It is a software stack for a wide
range of mobile devices and a

Application
Now like most of the major
software and operating platforms
Framework

on the earth, Android also comes

with a software development kit
which is termed commonly as
Android SDK (Software
Development Kit). Android SDK
provides you the API libraries and
tools for building and developing
new applications on Android
operating environment using the
java programming language. This

Dalvik
Virtual Every android application runs in
its own process, with its own
Machineinstance of the Dalvik Virtual
Machine. Dalvik has been written
so that a device can run multiple
virtual machines efficiently. The
Dalvik Virtual Machine executes
files in the Dalvik Executable
(.dex) format which is optimized
for minimal memory footprint. The

Applications
These are the basics of Android applications:
Android applications are composed of one
Of Android

or more application components (activities,

services, content providers, and broadcast
receivers)
Each component performs a different role
in the overall application behavior, and each
one can be activated individually (even by
other applications)
The manifest file must declare all
components in the application and should
also declare all application requirements,
such as the minimum version of Android

Securit
y&
Privacy

Android applications run in

asandbox, an isolated area
of the operating system that
does not have access to the
rest of the system's
resources, unless access
permissions are granted by
the user when the
application is installed.

Cost Effective

The first thing about Android is its
cost. People who used to be with
Android
base level mobiles would be fed up
Technol
with the boring options. Butwith the
low price now they can go for Android
ogy
phones with good design and lot of
Multitasking

applications which is not possible with

the
Apple,
Blackberry
and some.
Android
has
a multitasking
option
so you can run many applications
simultaneously. Asthis is not a
new stuff nowadays but it comes
under Advantage room.

Easy Access of Store

So the store is in the home screen which
is easy to access theapplications.

Youdont need to settle with the fixed
applications as the store is filled, filling

Conclusion

Android is a disruptive technology,

which was introduced initially on mobile
handsets, but has much wider
potential.
Android is now becoming the best
among all the mobile operating
systems.
Android is being used in 170 models of
different 27 Mobile Companies.
It surely takes lot of time for other OS
to create such a rapid revolution.
It is participating in many of the
successful open source projects
