Gradle is a build automation tool for multi-language software development. It

controls the development process in the tasks of compilation and packaging to testing,
deployment, and publishing. Supported languages include Java (Kotlin, Groovy,
Scala), C/C++, and JavaScript.

The Android build system compiles app resources and source code, and
packages them into APKs that you can test, deploy, sign, and distribute. Android Studio
uses Gradle, an advanced build toolkit, to automate and manage the build process,
while allowing you to define flexible custom build configurations.
f. SDK :

The Android SDK (software development kit) is a set of development tools used to
develop applications for the Android platform that has become Apple’s biggest
rival in the smartphone space. The Android SDK includes the following:

Required libraries.
• Debugger.
• An emulator.
• Relevant documentation for the Android application program interfaces (APIs).
• Sample source code.
• Tutorials for the Android OS.
g. AVD :

An Android Virtual Device (AVD) is a configuration that defines the characteristics

of an Android phone, tablet, Wear OS, Android TV, or Automotive OS device that
you want to simulate in the Android Emulator. The AVD Manager is an interface
you can launch from Android Studio that helps you create and manage AVDs.
