3. History of android
▷ The version history of the Android mobile os began with the public release of
the Android beta version on November5,2007.The first commercial version,
Android 1.0 was released on September 23,2008.Android
is continually developed by Google and the Open Handset Alliance.
▷ Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google.It is based on a modified
version of the Linux kernel and other open source software,and is designed primarily for
touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.

4. Android Versions

5. Journey of Android
First android smartphone
HTC DREAM

6. Journey of android
▷ In October 2003, well before the term “smartphone” was used by most of
the public, and several years before Apple announced its first iPhone and its
iOS, the company Android Inc was founded in Palo Alto, California. Its four
founders were Rich Miner,Nick Sears,Chris White, and Andy Rubin..

7. What is android?
▷ Android is an open source,Linux based operating system for mobile devices
such as-tablet computers and smartphones.
▷ Android is based on JAVA and its applications are developed in JAVA
(now also Kotlin is used for developing applications).
▷ Android SDK offers rich tools for android application development and many
useful APIs.

8. Features of android
▷ Android OS basic screen provides a beautiful and
interactive user interface.
▷ GSM,IDEN,CDMA,EV-DO,UMTS,Bluetooth, Wi-fI,LTE,NFC
and WiMAX connectivity support.
▷ SQLite,a lightweight relational database,is used for
data storage purposes.
Firebase is another latest technology introduced by
google for online cloud storage database.
▷ User can jump from one task to another and at the
same time various applications can run simultaneously.

9. Android Architecture

10. LINUX KERNEL
▷ Note that Android is based on Linux kernel not a Linux OS.
▷ It supplies:-
- Security;
- Memory Management;
- Process Management and Driver.

11. Libraries
▷ On top of Linux kernel there is a set of libraries including open-source web
browser engine Webkit,wellknown library libc,SQLite database,which is useful
repository for storage and sharing of application data,libraires
to play and record audio and video,SSL(Secure Sockets Layer) libraries
responsible for data sharing in encryted form through internet.
security etc.

12. DALVIC VIRTUAL MACHINE(DVM)
▷ Dalvik is a part of the software stack that makes up the Android platform.
According to Google's Android documentation, the Dalvik VM is an interpreter-only
virtual machine that executes files in the Dalvik Executable (.dex) format, a format that is
optimized for efficient storage and memory-mappable execution.
▷ One of the most significant differences between JVM and DVM is that DVM does not use
Java bytecode but it employs its own Dalvik bytecode, i.e. a set of instructions (opcode)
destined for DVM. One of the reasons why DVM uses Dalvik bytecode is because DVM,
unlike JVM, is based on register, while JVM is based on stack.
▷The Dalvik Virtual Machine (DVM) is an android virtual machine optimized for mobile
devices. It optimizes the virtual machine for memory, battery life and performance.The
Dex compiler converts the class files into the .dex file that run on the Dalvik VM.

13. Android App Overview
▷ Java:Java class files containing app logic
▷ Res:Different resource files
▷ Anim:Animation resource files
▷ Drawable:Images
▷ Drawable-Xdpi:Images depending on screen display
▷ Layout:App layout files
▷ Menu:Layout menu files
▷ Values:Value files(strings,colors,arrays,etc.)
▷ Values-vX:Value files depending on API level
▷ Values-Xdp:Value files depending on screen display
▷ XML:XML(Extensible markup language) files
▷ Android Menifest.xml:Android Metadata file

14. Android App Lifecycle

15. Android App Fundamentals
Activity:
- A window/interface which a user can interact with
- Every app has at least one activity
- Activities can be full-screen,floating or embedded inside another activity
startActivity(newIntent(this,NewActivity.class));

16. Fragments:
- A piece of user interface that is meant to be reused
- Adds modularity to your app and makes dynamic UI design easy
- It has its own layout,behaviour and lifecycle callbacks,
but it killed/stop if the activity is too
Intent:
- An intent is an abstract description of an operation to be performed.Think of itas an “intention” to do something.
- Intent can be used to start activities,services or send a broadcast
- Intents are of two types-Explicit(when you know what exactly you want to do) and Implicit(when you're not sure what
you want to do)
getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().add(android.R.id.content,newMyFragment()).commit();
Intent viewAmazon=new
Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW.Uri.parse(“https://www.amazon.com”));
startActivity(view Amazon);

17. AndroidManifest.Xml:
▷ Every project in Android includes a manifest file,
which is-AndroidManifest.xml, stored in the
root directory of its project hierarchy.
▷ The manifest file is an important part of our app
because it defines the structure and metadata of our
application, its components, and its requirements.

18. Layouts:
▷ A layout defines the visual structure for a user interface,such as
the UI for an activity or app widget.
▷ Layouts can be defined both in XML or programmatically using View
or ViewGroup objects.
▷ There are 5 different types of layouts in android:
- LinearLayout;
- RelativeLayout;
- FrameLayout;
- TableLayout and
- AbsoluteLayout.

19. IDE(Integrated Development Environment) for Android
Android Studio is the official IDE for android using which we can
create all types of apps.
Link:
You should have jdk installed in your pc or you have to install it
so that you can use Android Studio.

We can also use Eclipse IDE for app development by using
some plugins.

20. Certification in Android
Android Associate Developers:-
The Associate Android Developer Exam demonstrates the type of skill
that an entry-level Android Developer should have as they begin
their career. By passing this performance-based exam and earning
the Associate Android Developer Certification, you prove that you're
competent and skilled in tasks that a developer typically performs.

21. Career in Android
First of all, I must tell that the scope of Mobile Development is good. Now come to the
Android Development, there are already a huge number of devices running Android and this
number is growing at fast rate. So the future of Android Development is bright. We as
developers love Android Development as when we build any application, it reaches to the
huge number of mobile handsets because of the awesome distribution channel for the apk.
# Other points to be noted are:
-Most of the companies are working to improve mobile app experience.
-People are spending most of the time on Mobile nowadays.
-Mobile phone sizes are becoming bigger, we work on mobile most of the time.
-Android Platform is developer friendly. Developers are free to build anything on Android
platform.

22. Career in Android
Salary :
->At entry level, an Android Software Developer can make between ₹ 117,835
-498,986. An Entry level android developer earns approximately 3.0 Lakh
per year. And an experienced (2–5) is having an avg. salary of 4–5 lakh per
month. In India, the pay scale varies with the location as well.

23. Advantage vs Disadvantage
Advantages of Android:
-Massive user base;
-Increasing adoption, especially in developing countries;
-Ease of making the app publicly available. Android's review process for apps is fairly simple and it takes lesser time
than iOS, for an app to get approved for publishing on the play store.
Disadvantages:
-Multitude of devices to take care of, and not just different screen sizes, but different resolutions too. This makes
the app design, as well as UI development much harder.
-Quality of apps on the Play Store is much worse than those on the App Store. This is primarily because of Apple's stringent review
policies. They do not allow low quality apps to be published.
-Monetization-wise iOS apps still rule the charts. Though Android is catching up, it is still going to be a while before it begins to match
up.

24. Conclusion
I've learned through my research that Android is a much more diverse operating
system than iOS and Windows Phone Mobile.
Android's ability to customize is unparalleled compared to Apple's and
Microsoft's software allowing the user to change and customize nearly every
aspect of Android which most iPhone and Windows users wouldn't dream
possible.

25. Thanks!
