What is Android?

Android is a software stack for mobile devices that includes an operating system, middleware and key applications

A software platform and operating system for mobile devices


Based on the Linux kernel Developed by Google and later the Open Handset Alliance (OHA) Allows writing managed code in the Java language Possibility to write applications in other languages and compiling it to ARM native code (support of Google? No) Unveiling of the Android platform was announced on 5 November 2007 with the founding of OHA

OPEN HANDSET ALLIANCE

It's a consortium of several companies

System Architecture
The software stack is split into Four Layers:: The application layer

The application framework


The libraries and runtime

The kernel

LINUX KERNEL

Acts as an abstraction layer between the hardware and the rest of the software stack. Relies on Linux version 2.6 for core system services such as security, memory management, process management, network stack, and driver model.

The libraries and runtime

Includes libraries such as OpenGL, SQLite, Media Framework etc. Includes a set of core libraries of JAVA that provides most of the functionality Runs in its own process, with its own instance of the Dalvik Virtual Machine The Dalvik VM executes files in the Dalvik Executable (.dex)

Application Framework

Access location information, run background services, set alarms, add notifications to the status bar, and much, much more. Build an application, including lists, grids, text boxes, buttons, and even an embeddable web browser Providing access to non-code resources such as localized strings, graphics, and layout files

Applications

Set of core applications including an email client, SMS program, calendar, maps, browser, contacts. All applications are written using the Java programming language.

Features
Dalvik virtual machine optimized for mobile devices Integrated browser based on the open source Web Kit engine

Media support for common audio, video, and still image formats (MPEG4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG, GIF)
GSM Telephony (hardware dependent) Bluetooth, EDGE, 3G, and Wi-Fi (hardware dependent) Camera, GPS, compass, and accelerometer (hardware dependent) Rich development environment including a device emulator, tools for debugging, memory and performance profiling, and a plug-in for the Eclipse IDE
