- 15. Libraries Includes a set of C/C++ libraries used by various components of the android system. Some of the core libraries are System C library, Media library, surface manager, libWebcore, SGL, 3D libraries, Freetype, SQLite.
- 16. Android Runtime Every android application runs in its own process, with its own instance of the Dalvik Runtime machine. Dalvik has been written so that a device can run multiple VMs efficiently.
- 17. 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.
- 18. Android has many amazing and unique features that are of significance to developers and users
- 19. Application Framework that enables reuse and replacement of components Dalvik virtual machine optimised for mobile devices Open source WebKit engine based integrated web browser
- 20. Optimized Graphics that is powered by customized 2D graphics library and 3D graphics based on the OpenGL ES 1.0 specification SQLite for structured data storage GSM Telephony
- 21. Media Support for common video, audio, and still image formats. Provision of Bluetooth, EDGE, 3G and Wi-Fi Camera, GPS, Compass, and Accelerometer (dependent on hardware support)
- 22. What makes Android different?? Android is open-source. Complete smartphone software stack, free of charge.
- 23. Advantages of Android. The google’s android platform provides the ability to be customized by anyone Provides a wide range of mobile applications. Innovative maps of android will provide users with any information they maybe in need of.
- 24. Disadvantages of android Since Google Android is an open source platform driving all Android phones, it could significantly increase the risk of hacking these devices. If this happens, then locking mobiles as a security measure will be a mockery.
