I am Android I am Open Source http://www.android.com/

What is Android? Android is an Operating system and platform for mobile devices We can write different apps to run on mobile phones Android is Lightweight and full featured Android is an Open Source Product, we can download SDK free Android is under version 3 of the Apache Software License (ASL) A SDK is available to build, compile, test and debug user applications Mostly open sourced under the Apache and other open source licenses Android is developed by Google and later the Open Handset Alliance (OHA) Allows writing managed code in the Java language Good framework based on Java

Android is based of Linux Kernel 2.6 but Android is not Linux

What is the OHA? OHA stands for Open Handset Alliance. (OHA) is a business alliance of 84 firms to develop open standards for mobile devices. The OHA was established on 5 November 2007, led by Google with 34 members It's a consortium of several companies

Android Features Provides us SDK for developing Applications Runs on Dalvik virtual machine Video and audio codecs Bluetooth 3G, and WiFi, Camera Integrated browser based on the open source WebKit engine Optimized graphics powered by a custom 2D graphics library; 3D graphics based SQLite for structured data storage Media support for common audio, video, and still image formats (MPEG4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG, GIF) GSM Telephony (hardware dependent )

Versions of Android Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0 Honeycomb Android 3.0 Gingerbread Android 2.3 Android 2.2 Android 2.2 Éclair Android 2.1 Donut Android 1.6 Cupcake Android 1.5 Codename Platform

History of Android Android Inc, was founded in Palo Alto, California, United States Developed by Andy Rubin, Rich Miner, Nick Sears and Cris White - October 2003 Google acquired Android Inc. August 2005 The Open Handset Allience, a consortium of several companies was formed- November 2007 Android Beta SDK Realeased November 2007

Android Version Distribution ( As On July 5,2011 )

Where the Android Stands in Market Survey (March,2011)

What is Dalvik? Custom VM implementation Provides application portability Run optimized file format (.dex) Java .class / .jar converted to .dex at build time Support multi processes per VM Uses its own bytecode, not Java bytecode. Optimized for mobile devices Relies on the underlying OS for process separation, memory management and threading Designed to run multiple VM instances efficiently Executes its own type of byte code in files created from Java class files

Advantages of Android The ability for anyone to customize the Google Android platform The consumer will benefit from having a wide range of mobile applications to choose from since the monopoly will be broken by Google Android Men will be able to customize a mobile phones using Google Android platform like never before Features like weather details, opening screen, live RSS feeds and even the icons on the opening screen will be able to be customized In addition the entertainment functionalities will be taken a much higher by Google Android being able to offer online real time multiplayer games

Security In Android Applications are signed with a certificate Applications run in their own process with a unique user id Permissions restrict access to the data on the device Permissions granted by user on installation of application Permissions that application need and declaration of custom permissions is done in the application manifest file

Android Libraries Most of the Android Libraries are created in C and C++ System C library - A BSD-derived implementation of the standard C system library (libc), tuned for embedded Linux-based devices Media Libraries - based on PacketVideo's OpenCORE; the libraries support playback and recording of many popular audio and video formats, as well as static image files, including MPEG4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, and PNG Surface Manager - Manages access to the display subsystem and seamlessly composites 2D and 3D graphic layers from multiple applications

Android Libraries LibWebCore - A modern web browser engine which powers both the Android browser and an embeddable web view SGL - The underlying 2D graphics engine 3D libraries - An implementation based on OpenGL ES 1.0 APIs; the libraries use either hardware 3D acceleration (where available) or the included, highly optimized 3D software rasterizer FreeType - Bitmap and vector font rendering SQLite - A powerful and lightweight relational database engine available to all applications

System Requirement for Developing Android Application We need following things for developing the android applications: Java (http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp) Android SDK (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) Eclipse IDE (http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/)
