2. Define Android Virtual Devices (AVD):

Android Virtual Devices (AVD) are configura ons of emulator op ons that allow you to simulate various Android devices.
AVDs enable developers to test their applica ons on different screen sizes, hardware configura ons, and Android versions
without needing physical devices. It helps in debugging and ensuring compa bility across a range of devices.

3. Describe the Android Architecture in Detail:

Android follows a layered architecture, consis ng of:

 Linux Kernel: Provides core system services like memory management, process management, and device drivers.

 Hardware Abstrac on Layer (HAL): Acts as a bridge between the kernel and the hardware.

 Na ve Libraries: Include essen al libraries for various func onali es (e.g., media, graphics, SQLite).

 Android Run me (ART/Dalvik): Executes and manages applica on code.

 Applica on Framework: Provides high-level services like ac vity manager, content providers, and resource
manager.

 Applica ons: User-facing applica ons built on top of the framework.

6. Explain the Need of Android OS:

Android OS fulfills the need for an open-source, customizable, and widely adopted opera ng system for mobile devices. It
provides a pla orm for developers to create a diverse range of applica ons, facilitates efficient hardware u liza on, and
offers a consistent user experience across devices.

7. State Advantages and Disadvantages of Android OS:

Advantages:

 Open Source: Allows customiza on and flexibility.

 App Ecosystem: Large and diverse app store (Google Play).

 Connec vity: Supports a wide range of connec vity op ons.

 Customiza on: High degree of device customiza on.

 Mul tasking: Supports mul tasking and background processing.

Disadvantages:

 Fragmenta on: Variability in device types, screen sizes, and Android versions.

 Security Concerns: Open nature may lead to security vulnerabili es.

 Update Delays: Devices may not receive mely OS updates.

 App Quality: Inconsistent app quality across devices.

9. Explore the Steps to Install and Configure Android Studio and SDK:

1. Download Android Studio:

 Go to the Android Studio download page.

 Download the appropriate version for your opera ng system.

2. Install Android Studio:

 Run the downloaded installer and follow the installa on wizard.

3. Download SDK Components:

 Android Studio will prompt you to download the necessary SDK components.

 Follow the on-screen instruc ons to download and install them.

4. Configure SDK:

 Open Android Studio.

 Go to "Configure" > "SDK Manager."

 Install addi onal SDK components if needed.

10. Define Emulator:

An emulator is a so ware or hardware that emulates (mimics) the behavior of one system on another. In Android
development, an emulator mimics the behavior of an Android device, allowing developers to test and run their
applica ons on a virtual device without the need for a physical device.

11. What is JDK?

JDK (Java Development Kit) is a so ware development kit used for developing Java applica ons. It includes tools,
executables, and binaries required for Java development, such as the Java compiler (javac), Java Virtual Machine (JVM),
and other development tools.

12. What is SDK?

SDK (So ware Development Kit) is a set of tools, libraries, and documenta on that developers use to create so ware
applica ons for specific pla orms. In the context of Android development, the Android SDK provides the necessary tools
and resources for building Android applica ons.

13. Describe DVM with Diagram:

I'm unable to provide diagrams in this text format. However, the Dalvik Virtual Machine (DVM) is similar to a tradi onal
stack-based virtual machine. It takes Java bytecode and converts it into its own bytecode format called Dalvik Executable
(DEX). DEX files contain op mized bytecode for Android's run me environment.

14. Differen ate between JDK and SDK:

 JDK (Java Development Kit):

 Specifically for Java development.

 Includes the Java compiler, run me environment, and development tools.

 SDK (So ware Development Kit):

 More general term for a set of tools and resources for a specific pla orm.

 In the context of Android, it includes the Android Studio IDE, Android SDK, and necessary libraries.

15. Define ADT:

 ADT (Android Development Tools):

 ADT was a plugin for the Eclipse IDE that provided tools for Android development.

 However, Google officially deprecated ADT in favor of Android Studio.

 Developers are encouraged to use Android Studio for Android app development instead of ADT.
