CONCLUSION
As a programmer, we have learned that Developing the

application using Android is much easier and anyone who has some basic knowledge about the java background can develop the application easily. If one have curiosity to do something different, want to have new looks or want some specific result in his mobile phone/Tab he can take the help of the android platform. There are too many tools by using which developers can do amazing thing on their Android Devices.
