Architecture
Security




  Applications run in a secure sandbox
      Cannot read/write other applications data, network
      access, keeping device awake, make phone calls, etc
  All applications are signed
Programming Environments
Dalvik

  Custom Java runtime environment/virtual machine
  Includes most of the core Java libraries and functionality,
  such as objects, trash collection, etc
  Has an eclipse ADT plugin
  Dalvik is the primary/most powerful dev environment
  Not for performance intensive operations
Ajax

 Javascript is used to manipulate Document Object Model
 DOM
  Supports canvas (for drawing/graphics), gears, geo
 location, etc
 HTML5 support is in development and will be release in
 pieces
 Cannot access graphics layer
 Cannot access/start background processes
 Can be connect to Dalvik environment
Native Code (C)

 Dalvik can run native code
 Fastest execution layer - best for mathamatical calculations,
 physics, loading large data files, etc
 Cannot access graphics layer
 All sandbox/security rules still apply
