Introduction:
Android is a software stack for mobile devices that includes an operating system, middleware and
key applications.[7][8] Google Inc. purchased the initial developer of the software, Android Inc., in
2005.[9] Android's mobile operating system is based on the Linux kernel. Google and other
members of the Open Handset Alliance collaborated on Android's development and release.[10][11]
The Android Open Source Project (AOSP) is tasked with the maintenance and further development
of Android.[12] The Android operating system is the world's best-selling Smartphone
platform.[13][14]
Android has a large community of developers writing applications ("apps") that extend the
functionality of the devices. There are currently over 200,000 apps available for Android.[15][16]
Android Market is the online app store run by Google, though apps can also be downloaded from
third-party sites. Developers write primarily in the Java language, controlling the device via
Google-developed Java libraries.[17]

Android SDK emulates an ARM CPU using QEMU
QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer. When used as a machine
emulator, QEMU can run OSes and programs made for one machine (e.g. an ARM board) on a
different machine (e.g. your own PC). By using dynamic translation, it achieves very good
performance. When used as a virtualizer, QEMU achieves near native performances by executing
the guest code directly on the host CPU. QEMU supports virtualization when executing under the
Xen hypervisor or using the KVM kernel module in Linux. When using KVM, QEMU can
virtualize x86, server and embedded PowerPC, and S390 guests.
