Architecture

Application
Android provides a set of core applications:
Email Client
SMS Program
Calendar
Maps
Browser
Contacts
Etc
All applications are written using the Java
language.

App Framework

Enabling and simplifying the


reuse of components
Developers have full
access to the same
framework APIs used by
the core applications.
Users are allowed to
replace components.

System

Used to build an application, including lists, grids, text

Libraries

Including a set of C/C++


libraries used by components

Runtime

Core Libraries
Providing most of the functionality available in
the core libraries of the Java language
APIs
Data Structures
Utilities
File Access
Network Access
Graphics
Etc

Runtime
Dalvik Virtual Machine
Providing environment on which
every Android application runs
Each Android application runs in its
own process, with its own instance
of the Dalvik VM.
Dalvik has been written such that a
device can run multiple VMs
efficiently.
Register-based virtual machine

Linux Kernel

Relying

on Linux Kernel 2.6 for core


system services
Memory and Process Management
Network Stack
Driver Model
Security
Providing an abstraction layer

EATURES OF ANDROID
Android supports wireless communication
using: 3G Networks
4G Networks
802.11 Wi-Fi Networks
Bluetooth Connectivity
Android is a multi-process system, in
which each application (and parts of
the system) runs in its own process.

Android Nougat 7.0


Support to ARM V4 64bit
Be in two places at one
Data Saver
Security

1)File Based Encryption


2)Direct Boot

LIMITATIONS: Making source code available to


everyone inevitably invites the
attention of hackers.
Android operating system uses
more amount of battery as
compared to normal mobile
phones.
As there are so many user
sometimes it becomes difficult to
connect all the users.
As we call Android is world of
applications we continuously need
