- 5. What Is Android? Android (stylized as android) is a mobile operating system developed by Google, based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets
- 6. Introduction(1) •A software platform and operating system for mobile devices •Based on the Linux kernel •Developed by Google and later the Open Handset Alliance (OHA) •Allows writing managed code in the Java language
- 7. Introduction(2) •Possibility to write applications in other languages and compiling it to ARM native code (support of Google? No) •Unveiling of the Android platform was announced on 5 November 2007 with the founding of OHA
- 8. Introduction(3) • What is OHA? • Open Handset Alliance → It's a consortium of several companies
- 9. Introduction(4) •Devoted to advancing open standards for mobile devices •Develop technologies that will significantly lower the cost of developing and distributing mobile devices and services
- 11. Platform Hardware • Android is not a single piece of hardware • It's a complete, end-to-end software platform that can be adapted to work on any number of hardware configurations. • Everything is there, from the boot loader all the way up to the applications
- 12. Platform Operating System(s) •Android uses Linux for its device drivers, memory management, process management, and networking. •Android native libraries written in C/C++ internally, but you’ll be calling them through Java interfaces •Dalvik Virtual Machine. Runs dex files, which are coverted at compile time from standard class and jar files.
- 13. Platform Network Connectivity It supports wireless communications using: oGSM mobile-phone technology o3G o802.11 Wi-Fi networks
- 14. Platform Security • Android is a multi-process system, in which each application (and parts of the system) runs in its own process • User and group IDs are assigned to applications. • Additional finer-grained security features are provided through a "permission" mechanism
- 17. Software Development(1) Development requirements •Java •Android SDK •Eclipse IDE (optional)
- 18. Software Development(2) IDE and Tools Android SDK •Class Library •Developer Tools dx – Dalvik Cross-Assembler aapt – Android Asset Packaging Tool adb – Android Debug Bridge ddms – Dalvik Debug Monitor Service •Emulator and System Images •Documentation and Sample Code Eclipse IDE + ADT (Android Development Tools) •Reduces Development and Testing Time •Makes User Interface-Creation easier •Makes Application Description Easier
- 19. Software Development(3) Programming Language(s) •Java – officially supported •C/C++ – also possible but not supported
- 20. Overall Evaluation(1) Advantages • The entire Application framework can be reused and replaced by selective components. • Dalvik virtual machine enhances the power management systems. • Support for 2D and 3D graphics, So lot of business for animationdevelopers. • Reliable and enhanced data storage. • Supports common media file format. • GSM, EDGE, 3G, HSCSD, Wi-Fi n/w applications support
- 21. Overall Evaluation(2) Limitations Bluetooth limitations oAndroid doesn't support: Bluetooth stereo Contacts exchange Modem pairing Wireless keyboards But it'll work with Bluetooth headsets Firefox Mobile isn't coming to Android Apps in Android Market need to be programmed with a custom form of Java → Mozilla and the Fennec won't have that • Giants like Nokia and Microsoft are not the part of the OHA
- 22. Benefits of learning Android • One will be called as an Android Developer • One will find many doors open • Rewarding Career • Freelancing • Entrepreneurship Opportunities
