INTRODUCTION
Android is a Linux based operating system it is designed primarily for touch screen
mobile devices such as smart phones and tablet computers. The android is a powerful
operating system and it supports large number of applications in Smartphones. These
applications are more comfortable and advanced for the users. The hardware that supports
android software is based on ARM architecture platform.
The android is an open source operating system. The android has got millions of apps
available that can help you managing your life one or other way and it is available low cost in
market at that reasons android is very popular.
The android development supports with the full java programming language. Even
other packages that are API and JSE are not supported. The first version 1.0 of android
development kit (SDK) was released in 2008
ANDROID ARCHITECTURE
The android is an operating system and is a stack of software components which is divided
into five sections and four main layers that is
 Linux kernel
 Libraries
 Android runtime
LINUX KERNEL
The android uses the powerful Linux kernel and it supports wide range of hardware drivers.
The kernel is the heart of the operating system that manages input and output requests from
software. This provides basic system functionalities like process management, memory
management; device management like camera, keypad, and display etc., the kernel handles
all the things. The Linux is really good at networking and it is not necessary to interface it to
the peripheral hardware. The kernel itself does not interact directly with the user but rather
interacts with the shell and other programs as well as with the hard ware devices on the
system.
INTRODUCTION TO ANDROID OS

2 | P a g e
LIBRARIES
On top of a Linux kennel there is a set of libraries including open source web browser such as
webkit, library libc. These libraries are used to play and record audio and video. The SQLite
is a data base which is useful for storage and sharing of application data. The SSL libraries
are responsible for internet security etc.
ANDROID RUNTIME
The android runtime provides a key component called Dalvik Virtual Machine which is a
kind of java virtual machine. It is specially designed and optimized for android. The Dalvik
VM is the process virtual machine in the android operating system. It is software that runs
apps on android devices.
The Dalvik VM makes use of Linux core features like memory management and
multithreading which is in a java language. The Dalvik VM enables every android application
to run its own process. The Dalvik VM executes the files in the .dex format.
APPLICATION FRAME WORK
The application frame work layer provides many higher level services to applications such as
windows manager, view system, package manager, resource manager etc. The application
developers are allowed to make use of these services in their application.

3 | P a g e
APPLICATIONS AND FEATURES
The android applications are at the top layer and we will write our application and install on
this layer. Example of such applications is contacts, books, browsers, services etc.
FEATURES
 Head set layout
 Storage
 Connectivity: GSM/EDGE, IDEN, CDMA, Bluetooth, WI-FI, EDGE,3G,NFC, LTE,GPS.
 Messaging: SMS, MMS, C2DM (could to device messaging), GCM (Google could
messaging)
 Multilanguage support
 Multi touch
 Video calling
 Screen capture
 External storage
 Streaming media support
 Optimized graphics

Android Studio is the official integrated development environment (IDE)
for Google's Android operating system, built on JetBrains' IntelliJ IDEA software and
designed specifically for Android development. It is available for download
on Windows, macOS and Linux based operating systems. It is a replacement for the Eclipse
Android Development Tools (ADT) as the primary IDE for native Android application
development.
Android Studio was announced on May 16, 2013 at the Google I/O conference. It was
in early access preview stage starting from version 0.1 in May 2013, then entered beta stage
starting from version 0.8 which was released in June 2014. The first stable build was released
in December 2014, starting from version 1.0.
Since May 7, 2019, Kotlin is Google’s preferred language for Android app
development. Still, other programming languages are supported by Android Studio, such as
Java and C++.
FEATURES
 Gradle-based build support
 Android-specific refactoring and quick fixes
 Lint tools to catch performance, usability, version compatibility and other problems
 ProGuard integration and app-signing capabilities
 Template-based wizards to create common Android designs and components
 A rich layout editor that allows users to drag-and-drop UI components, option
to preview layouts on multiple screen configurations[17]
 Support for building Android Wear apps
 Built-in support for Google Cloud Platform, enabling integration with Firebase Cloud
Messaging (Earlier 'Google Cloud Messaging') and Google App Engine[18]
 Android Virtual Device (Emulator) to run and debug apps in the Android studio.
