    Android is an open-source operating system based on a modified version of the Linux kernel. It was developed by Google and the Open Handset Alliance to provide a flexible OS for mobile devices. In 2005, Google acquired Android Inc. and in 2007 formed the Open Handset Alliance with hardware and software partners. The Android OS features include applications based on Java and C/C++ code running on the Dalvik virtual machine, an integrated browser based on WebKit, SQLite for data storage, support for connectivity technologies, and media formats like MP3 and H.264. It has an architecture based on the Linux kernel and uses the Dalvik VM for app execution on top of libraries and APIs.

    ANDROID OS

    Submitted by K.Ramesh V semester Reg no.1709151

    1. INTRODUCTION
    Android is a software stack for mobile devices that includes an operating system, middleware and key applications Android is a software platform and operating system for mobile devices based on the Linux operating system and developed by Google and the Open Handset Alliance It allows developers to write managed code in a Javalike language that utilizes Google-developed Java libraries, but does not support programs developed in native code. made available under the Apache freesoftware and open-source license.

    1.2 THE BIRTH OF ANDROID


    1.2.1 Google Acquires Android Inc. In July 2005, Google acquired Android Inc., a small startup company based in Palo Alto, CA.Android's co-founders who went to work at Google included Andy Rubin developed a Linux-based mobile device OS which they marketed to handset makers and carriers on the premise of providing a flexible It was reported that Google had already lined up a series of hardware component and software partners

    1.2.2 Open Handset Alliance Founded


    On 5 November 2007, the Open Handset Alliance, a consortium of several companies which include Google, HTC, Intel, Motorola, Qualcomm, T-Mobile, Sprint Nextel NVIDIA , was unveiled with the goal to develop open standards for mobile devices. Along with the formation Android , an open source mobile device platform based on the Linux operating system.

    1.2.3 Hardware
    Google has unveiled at least three prototypes for Android, at the Mobile World Congress on February 12, 2008. Google applications. A d-pad' control zooming of items in the dock with a relatively quick response. A prototype at the Google IO conference on May 28, 2008 had a 528 MHz Qualcomm processor and a capacitive touch screen, and used the UMTS cellular standard. The demo was carried out using a 3.6 bit/s HSDPA connection.

    1.3 FEATURES
    Application Framework It is used to write applications for Android. Unlike other embedded mobile environments, Android applications are all equal The framework is supported by numerous open source libraries such as open It is also supported by the Android core libraries. From the point of security, the framework is based on UNIX file system

    Dalvik Virtual Machine


    It is extremely low-memory based virtual machine, which was designed especially for Android to run on embedded systems and work well in low power situations Java classes and .DEXformat is done by included dx tool
    Integrated Browser Google made a right choice on choosing WebKit as open source web browser. They added atwo pass layout and frame flattening

    SQLite Two pass layout loads a page without waiting for blocking elements, such as external CSS or external These features increase speed andusability browsing the internet via mobile phone. Optimized Graphics As Android has 2D graphics library and 3D graphics based on OpenGLES Doom was presented using Android on the mobile phone. which come on Linux version. At this moment

    Handset Layouts

    The platform is adaptable to both larger, VGA, 2D graphics library, 3D graphics 2Dgraphics engine is also included. Surface Manager subsystemand seamlessly composites 2D and 3D graphic layers from multiple applications Data Storage SQLite is used for structured data storage .SQLite is a powerful and lightweight relationaldatabase engine available to all applications.

    Connectivity . modern web browser engineAndroid supports a wide variety of connectivity technologies including GSM, CDMA,Bluetooth, EDGE, EVDO, 3G and Wi-Fi. Messaging SMS, MMS, and XMPP are available forms of messaging including threaded text messaging Web Browser The web browser available in Android is based on the open-source WebKit applicationframework. It includes LibWebCore

    Java Virtual Machine

    Software written in Java can be compiled into Dalvik bytecodes and executed in the Dalvik virtual machine, use,although not technically a standard Java Virtual Machine. Media Support Android will support advanced audio/video/still media formats such as MPEG-4, H.264,MP3, and AAC, AMR, JPEG, PNG, GIF.

    2.
    2.1 ARCHITECTURE DETAILED DESCRIPTION

    2.1.1 Linux Kernel


    Android Architecture is based on Linux 2.6 kernel. It helps to manage security, memorymanagement Android provides the support for the Qualcomm MSM7K chipset family. WCDMA/HSUPA and EGPRS network support Bluetooth 1.2 and Wi-Fi support Digital audio support for mp3 and other formats Support for Linux and other third-party operating systems Java hardware acceleration and support for Java applications Qcamera up to 6.0 megapixels gpsOne solution for GPS and lots of other.

    2.1.2 Android Runtime


    At the same level there is Android Runtime, where the main component Dalvik VirtualMachine is located

    2.1.4 Application Layer


    By installing different applications, the user can turn his mobile phone into the unique, optimized and smart mobile phone. All applications are written using the Java programming language.
