What is Android

Google’s Andy Rubin describes Android as follows:

The first truly open and comprehensive platform for mobile devices. It includes an operating system, user-interface and applications — all of the software to run a mobile phone but without the proprietary obstacles that have hindered mobile innovation.

—Where’s My Gphone?http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2007/11/ wheres-my-gphone.html

What is Android

Android is an ecosystem made up of a combination of three components:

● A free, open-source operating system for embedded devices

● An open-source development platform for creating applications

● Devices, particularly mobile phones, that run the Android operating system and the applications created for it

What is Android

More specifically, Android is made up of several necessary and dependent parts, including the following:

● A Compatibility Definition Document (CDD) and Compatibility Test Suite (CTS) that describe the capabilities required for a device to support the software stack.

● A Linux operating system kernel● Open source libraries including SQLite, WebKit, OpenGL and Media

Manager ● A run time used to execute and host Android applications, including the

Dalvik Virtual Machine (VM)● An application framework● A user interface framework● A set of core pre-installed applications● A software development kit (SDK) used to create applications,

including the related tools, plugins, and documentation

What is Android

Android SDK Features● Access to Hardware, including Camera, GPS and

Sensors ● Data Transfers using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC● Maps, Geocoding and Location Based Services● Background Services● SQLite Database● Shared Data and Inter-Application Communication● Full Multimedia Hardware control including Playback

and Recording● GSM, EDGE, 3G, 4G and LTE networks support for

Telephony and Data Transfer● Integrated HTML5 supported WebKit based Browser● 2D and 3D Graphics using OpenGL ES 2.0
