Introduction to Android • Android is an open source and Linux-based Operating System . • It is designed primarily for touch screens mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers. • Android offers a unified approach to application development for mobile devices which means developers need only develop for Android, and their applications should be able to run on different devices powered by Android. • Android was developed by the Open Handset Alliance, led by Google, and other companies. Open Handset Alliance (OHA) Q. Define OHA and state goal of OHA.
• OHA was formed in Nov 2007, created by
Google, alliance of 84 firms, for developing open standard platform for mobile devices. • The Open Handset Alliance (OHA) is a business alliance that was created for the purpose of developing open mobile device standards. • The OHA has approximately 80 member companies, including HTC, Dell, Intel, Motorola, Qualcomm and Google. • The members of OHA includes: Importance of OHA.
Lower overall handset costs: Opens resources, which facilitates the
focus on creating innovative applications, solutions and services.
Developer-friendly environment: In the open-source community,
developers share notes to expedite application development.
Post-development: Provides an ideal channel for application
marketing and distribution. Android Ecosystem • Ecosystem in Market terminology refers to the inter- dependence between demand and supply. • One cannot exist without the other: • Google develops android • Users buy devices and applications • Original Equipment makers sell devices, sometimes bundled with applications • Developers buy devices, then make and sell applications • Freelance Android Developer developers have the skills to contribute to the ecosystem for android development , they are who creates their own applications and published them on googles play store. Need of Android 1. User Interface
2. Multiple Language Support
Features of 3. Multi-tasking Android 4. Connectivity
5. Extensive Application Support
Describe the different features of Android. W22, 4m

GCM Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) is a service that lets developers send short message data to their users on Android devices, without needing a proprietary sync solution. 12. Wi-Fi Direct A technology that lets apps discover and pair directly, over a high-bandwidth peer-to-peer connection. Android Architecture • Android OS is a software stack of different layers, where every layer is a group of several programs components. • It includes operating system, middle ware and important applications. • Every layer in the architecture provides different services.
• Android has the following layers :
– Applications – Application Framework – Libraries – Android Runtime – Linux Kernel A A R C N H D I R T O E I C D H T U R E Tools and Software's required for developing an Android Application
1. Operating System 2. Android Studio or Eclipse 3. Java JDK 4. Android SDK 5. Android Development Tools (ADT) 6. Android Virtual Devices (AVD) 7. Emulators 8. Dalvik Virtual Machine
