What is Android?

• 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
• 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

Platform:

Operating System(s)

● Android uses Linux for its device drivers, memory management,
process management, and networking.
● The next level up contains the Android native libraries. They are
all written in C/C++ internally, but you’ll be calling them through
Java interfaces. In this layer you can find the Surface Manager, 2D
and 3D graphics, Media codecs, the SQL database (SQLite), and a
native web browser engine (WebKit).
● Dalvik Virtual Machine. Dalvik runs dex files, which are
coverted at compile time from standard class and jar files.

Platform:
Security

Android is a multi-process system, in which each application (and
parts of the system) runs in its own process. Most security between
applications and the system is enforced at the process level through
standard Linux facilities, such as user and group IDs that are assigned
to applications.

Additional finer-grained security features are provided through a
"permission" mechanism that enforces restrictions on the specific
operations that a particular process can perform, and per-URI
permissions for granting ad-hoc access to specific pieces of data.

Platform:

Future Possibilities:
● Google Android Sales to Overtake iPhone in 2012
● The OHA is committed to make their vision a reality: to deploy the Android
platform for every mobile operator, handset manufacturers and developers
to build innovative devices
● Intel doesn’t want to lose ownership of the netbook market, so they need to
prepare for anything, including Android
● Fujitsu launched an initiative to offer consulting and engineering expertise
to help run Android on embedded hardware, which aside from cellphones,
mobile internet devices, and portable media players, could include GPS
devices, thin-client computers and set-top boxes.
● More Android devices are coming and some will push the envelope even
further
● This Operating System is now used in Samsung, HTC mobiles.


● Java – officially supported

● Ruby (currently testing)

● C/C++ – also possible but not supported

September 8 of that year, and in November, became available in iOS 4.2 for
iPad. The service underwent a major update in October 2011, for iOS 5,
including support for turn-based matches.

On February 16, 2012, it was announced by Apple that Game Center would be
integrated into the latest version of Mac OS X, Mountain Lion, set for a July
25, 2012 release. Some games can now share multiplayer functionality
between the Mac and iOS versions of the app.

● Improved - Battery life - Over 60 power saving improvements
made


Software Development/Environment:
● This OS is designed in C++ language only. No other language is used for design
Blackberry.
● The BlackBerry toolset has drastically improved in recent years. The BlackBerry Java
Development Environment (JDE), which combines an SDK, an IDE, and a set of
simulators, has tortured developers for years. This Swing-based application gets the job
done, but it employs a user interface that screams 1994, perplexing debugging, and
inconsistent keyboard shortcuts.
● Because of the JDE's shortcomings, developers have often turned to their own
preferred IDEs, such as NetBeans or IntelliJ IDEA. Because most BlackBerry applications
are written in Java, you can use any Java editor to write your application code.
● The BlackBerry landscape changed when RIM announced a custom plugin for Eclipse
that combined the features of their custom JDE with the ease-of-use of Eclipse.
● The next big thing for BlackBerry will be widgets. BlackBerry Widgets are written using
HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and they provide lightweight applications that can be
installed to the device. If you learn to write web apps and Java, you will be in a great
position to write BlackBerry Widgets.
