Open Handset Alliance

 Est. 2007, led by


Google,open source

 Main product: Android


Platform

 Enthusiastic support from


Industry : both equipment
makers and network operators

4
INTRODUCTION
TO
ANDROID

5
WHAT IS ANDROID?

o A complete & modern embedded operating system

o A cutting-edge mobile user experience

o A world-class software stack for building


applications

o An open platform for developers, users & industry


6
Why Android Was Created?

 Full phone software stack including applications


 Designed as a platform for software development
 Android is open
 Android is free
 Community support
 100% Java Phone

7
HISTORY
 July 2005
Google acquired Android Inc.
 5 Nov 2007

Open HandSet Alliance formed-


Google, HTC, Intel, Motorola, Qualcomm,T-Mobile
 Android is the OHA first product

 12 Nov 2007

OHA released a preview of the Android OHA

Android Features

 Integrated browser based on the open source WebKit engine


 SQLite for relational data storage
 Media support for common audio, video, and still image formats
(MPEG4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG, GIF)
 Dalvik Virtual Machine optimized for mobile devices

 Cellular networking : GSM, EDGE, 3G (hardware dependent)


 LAN : Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi (hardware dependent)
 Graphics Hardware Acceleration
 Camera, GPS and Compass (hardware dependent)
 Touch screen and accelerometer for motion sensing 10
ANDROID ARCHITECTURE

11
Application Framework

Enable applications access data from other applications ,sharing

Providing access to non-code resources

Enables all applications to display alerts in the status bar

Manages the lifecycle of applications

12
Libraries

 Written in C/C++ - System C Library(libc)

 Display/Graphics(SGL)

 Media Libraries

 SQLite –RDB engine-light weight

 LibWebCore–web browser engine–embeddable web view

13
Linux Kernel

 Linux Version 2.6


 Security, Memory & Process Management
 Proven driver model
 Efficient computing resource management
 Stable and proven OS for mobile platform

14
Anatomy of an Android Application
There are four building blocks for an Android application:

 Activity
-a single screen

 Intent Receiver
-to execute in reaction to an external event(Phone Ring)
 Service
-code that is long-lived and runs without a UI(Media Player)

 Content Provider
-an application's data to be shared with other applications

15
Development Tools
The Android SDK includes a variety of custom tools that help you develop mobile
applications on the Android platform.Three of the most significant tools are:

1. Android Emulator -A virtual mobile device that runs on our computer -use to
design, debug, and test our applications in an actual Android run-time
environment

2. Android Development Tools Plugin -for the Eclipse IDE - adds powerful
extensions to the Eclipse integrated environment

3. Dalvik Debug Monitor Service (DDMS) -Integrated with Dalvik -this tool let us
manage processes on an emulator and assists in debugging

16
Life Cycle of an Android Application

 An unusual and fundamental feature - process's lifetime is not directly


controlled by the application itself

Deciding factors:
 how important
 overall memory available

 To determine which processes should be killed when low on memory:


"importance hierarchy“

CONCLUSION
 Android is open to all: industry, developers and users

 Participating in many of the successful open source projects

 Aims to be as easy to build for as the web.

 Google Android is stepping into the next level of Mobile


Internet
