- 6. Compiled by intellisense ITsys Pvt Ltd By providing an open development platform, Android offers developers the ability to build extremely rich and innovative applications. Developers are free to take advantage of the device hardware, access location information, run background services, set alarms, add notifications to the status bar, and much, much more. Developers have full access to the same framework APIs used by the core applications. The application architecture is designed to simplify the reuse of components; any application can publish its capabilities and any other application may then make use of those capabilities (subject to security constraints enforced by the framework). This same mechanism allows components to be replaced by the user. Underlying all applications is a set of services and systems, including: A rich and extensible set of Views that can be used to build an application, including lists, grids, text boxes, buttons, and even an embeddable web browser Content Providers that enable applications to access data from other applications (such as Contacts), or to share their own data A Resource Manager, providing access to non-code resources such as localized strings, graphics, and layout files A Notification Manager that enables all applications to display custom alerts in the status bar An Activity Manager that manages the lifecycle of applications and provides a common navigation backstack Application Framework

- 8. Compiled by intellisense ITsys Pvt Ltd •Android includes a set of core libraries that provides most of the functionality available in the core libraries of the Java programming language. •Every Android application runs in its own process, with its own instance of the Dalvik virtual machine. •Dalvik has been written so that a device can run multiple VMs efficiently. •The Dalvik VM executes files in the Dalvik Executable (.dex) format which is optimized for minimal memory footprint. •The VM is register-based, and runs classes compiled by a Java language compiler that have been transformed into the .dex format by the included "dx" tool. •The Dalvik VM relies on the Linux kernel for underlying functionality such as threading and low-level memory management. •Linux Kernel Android relies on Linux version 2.6 for core system services such as security, memory management, process management, network stack, and driver model. The kernel also acts as an abstraction layer between the hardware and the rest of the software stack. Android Runtime

- 10. Compiled by intellisense ITsys Pvt Ltd BASIC Terminologies .apk file Android application package file. .dex file Compiled Android application code file. Action A description of something that an Intent sender wants done. An action is a string value assigned to an Intent. Activity A single screen in an application, with supporting Java code, derived from the Activity class. Most commonly, an activity is visibly represented by a full screen window that can receive and handle UI events and perform complex tasks, because of the Window it uses to render its window. Though an Activity is typically full screen, it can also be floating or transparent. adb Android Debug Bridge
- 11. Compiled by intellisense ITsys Pvt Ltd Application An Android application consists of one or more activities, services, listeners, and intent receivers. Canvas A drawing surface that handles compositing of the actual bits against a Bitmap or Surface object. Content Provider A data-abstraction layer that you can use to safely expose your application's data to other applications. Dalvik The Android platform's virtual machine. The Dalvik VM is an interpreter-only virtual machine that executes files in the Dalvik Executable (.dex) format DDMS Dalvik Debug Monitor Service Dialog A floating window that that acts as a lightweight form. BASIC Terminologies
- 12. Compiled by intellisense ITsys Pvt Ltd Drawable A compiled visual resource that can be used as a background, title, or other part of the screen Intent An message object that you can use to launch or communicate with other applications/activities asynchronously. Intent Filter A filter object that an application declares in its manifest file, to tell the system what types of Intents each of its components is willing to accept and with what criteria. Broadcast Receiver An application class that listens for Intents that are broadcast, rather than being sent to a single target application/activity. Layout Resource An XML file that describes the layout of an Activity screen. BASIC Terminologies
- 13. Compiled by intellisense ITsys Pvt Ltd Manifest File An XML file that each application must define, to describe the application's package name, version, components (activities, intent filters, services), imported libraries, and describes the various activities, and so on. See The AndroidManifest.xml File for complete information. OpenGL ES Android provides OpenGL ES libraries that you can use for fast, complex 3D images. Resources Nonprogrammatic application components that are external to the compiled application code, but which can be loaded from application code using a well- known reference format. Service An object of class Service that runs in the background (without any UI presence) to perform various persistent actions, such as playing music or monitoring network activity. BASIC Terminologies
- 14. Compiled by intellisense ITsys Pvt Ltd Surface A Surface holds a Canvas object for drawing, and provides various helper methods to draw layers and resize the surface. SurfaceView A View object that wraps a Surface for drawing, and exposes methods to specify its size and format dynamically. Theme A set of properties (text size, background color, and so on) bundled together to define various default display settings. URIs in Android Android uses URI strings as the basis for requesting data in a content provider (such as to retrieve a list of contacts) and for requesting actions in an Intent (such as opening a Web page in a browser). View A View is a base class for most layout components of an Activity or Dialog screen (text boxes, windows, and so on). BASIC Terminologies
- 15. Compiled by intellisense ITsys Pvt Ltd Viewgroup A container object that groups a set of child Views. Widget : View subclasses that render form elements and other UI components, such as a text box or popup menu. BASIC Terminologies

- 18. Compiled by intellisense ITsys Pvt Ltd Quick Start The steps below provide an overview of how to get started with the Android SDK. For detailed instructions, start with the Installing the SDK guide. 1. Prepare your development computer Read the System Requirements document and make sure that your development computer meets the hardware and software requirements for the Android SDK. Install any additional software needed before downloading the Android SDK. In particular, you may need to install the JDK (version 5 or 6 required) and Eclipse (version 3.4 or 3.5, needed only if you want develop using the ADT Plugin). 2. Download and install the SDK starter package Select a starter package from the table at the top of this page and download it to your development computer. To install the SDK, simply unpack the starter package to a safe location and then add the location to your PATH.

Install the ADT Plugin for Eclipse Install the Android Development Tools (ADT) Plugin, restart Eclipse, and set the "Android" preferences in Eclipse to point to the SDK install location. 4. Add Android platforms and other components to your SDK Use the Android SDK and AVD Manager, included in the SDK starter package, to add one or more Android platforms (for example, Android 1.6 or Android 2.2) and other components to your SDK. To launch the Android SDK and AVD Manager on Windows, execute SDK Setup.exe, at the root of the SDK directory. On Mac OS X or Linux, execute the android tool in the <sdk>/tools/ folder. The Android NDK is a companion tool to the Android SDK that lets you build performance-critical portions of your apps in native code. Setting up Development Computer
