How does Android work?

Its open market model allows registered software developers
to create applications for Android
- Listing of Applications in Android Market
Users can download from a growing store of
smart-phone applications at Google Market
Download compatible Android apps from other locations

Android Architecture

Whos doing it?

Computer science departments at numerous colleges and
universities are embracing development for the Android
platform.
Engineering doctoral students from the University of
Washington work at Googles Seattle offices to refine the Open
Data Kit that they created
- Using Android in Industrial Automation

Why is Android significant?

Android has been selected by many hardware manufacturers to
run on a wide range of devices.
Android based phones are available from all major cellular
providers.
Android may bring smart phone and tablet functionality
to a much wider cross-section of students.
Android is a User Friendly OS.

What are the downsides of Android?

- Platform fragmentation is an issue for Android OS devices.
- New application releases may not work reliably
across all Android devices.
-For developers, the variety of device types and form factors that use
Android make development more expensive.
- Google does not oversee or approve third-party Android apps
before they go to market.
- Half of Application sent private information including GPS
coordinates and phone numbers to remote servers without seeking
permission or notifying users.

Where is Android going?

The Android OS may accelerate the diffusion of smart
phones by providing a free OS.
Access to the Android software development kit (SDK)
suggests that the number of applications will continue to swell
as professional developers provide new offerings.
Transforming them from consumers of existing applications to
creators of apps designed to meet their needs.
Android, by increasing the user base, might hasten the
integration of mobile technology.
Android is the Biggest selling OS in the World on Mobile
Computing.

ANDROID SDK

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 Javacompatible libraries based on Apache Harmony.

FEATURES OF ANDROID

SOFTWARE FEATURES
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

HARDWARE FEAUTURES

Cellular networking : GSM, EDGE, 3G

LAN : Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi
Graphics Hardware Acceleration
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

ANDROID MARKET
Google Play, formerly Android Market, is the
online software store developed by Google for
Android devices
Market. As of May 2016 there were more than
22,00,000 apps available for Android, and the
estimated number of applications downloaded
from the Android Market as of December 2015
exceeded 5 billion.

CONCLUSION
Android is open to all: industry, developers and
users
Participating in many of the successful open
source projects
Aims to be as easy to build for as the web.
Google Android is stepping into the next level
of Mobile Internet
