 Android software development is the process by which new applications are created for
the Android operating system.

 Applications are usually developed in the Java programming language using the

Android Software Development Kit.
 DESIGN
• Android is based on the Linux kernel, with middleware, libraries and APIs written
in C and application software running on an application framework which includes
Java-compatible libraries based on Apache Harmony.
• Integrated browser based on the open source Web Kit engine
• SQLite for relational data storage
• Media support for common audio, video, and still image formats
• Dalvik Virtual Machine optimized for mobile devices
 SOFTWARE FEATURES

HARDWARE FEAUTURES

• Cellular networking : GSM, EDGE, 3G

• LAN : Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi

• Camera, GPS and Compass
• Touch screen and accelerometer for motion sensing
 SECURITY
Android applications run in a sandbox, 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.
 WHAT MAKES AN ANDROID SPECIAL
• Open source – Free development platform
• Built in components can be improved
• Built in services like GPS,SQL Database, browser and maps
• Management of process life cycle
• High quality graphics and sound
• Portability across current and future hardware
• Component-based architecture and reusable, replaceable modules
• Multi-layer isolation of programs
