What is Android?
According to the official google release
“Android is a software stack for mobile devices that includes an operation system, middleware
and key applications. The Android SDK provides the tools and APIs necessary to begin
developing applications on the Android platform using the Java programming language
Features
• Application framework enabling reuse and replacement of components
• Dalvik virtual machine optimized for mobile devices
• Integrated browser based on the open source WebKit engine
• Optimized graphics powered by a custom 2D graphics library; 3D
graphics based on the OpenGL ES 1.0 specification (hardware
acceleration optional)
• SQLite for structured data storage
• 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 WiFi (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 plugin for the
Eclipse IDE
Android Architecture
The following shows the major components of the Android operating system.
Applications
Android will ship with a set of core applications including an email client, SMS program,
calendar, maps, browser, contacts, and others. All applications are written using the Java
programming language.
Application Framework
By providing an open development platform, Android offers developers the ability to build
extremely rich and innovative applications. Developers are free to take advantage of the device
hardware, access location information, run background services, set alarms, add notifications to
the status bar, and much, much more.
Developers have full access to the same framework APIs used by the core applications. The
application architecture is designed to simplify the reuse of components; any application can
publish its capabilities and any other application may then make use of those capabilities (subject
to security constraints enforced by the framework). This same mechanism allows components to
be replaced by the user.
Libraries
Android includes a set of C/C++ libraries used by various components of the Android system.
These capabilities are exposed to developers through the Android application framework. Some
of the core libraries are listed below:
• System C library - a BSD-derived implementation of the standard C system
library (libc), tuned for embedded Linux-based devices
• Media Libraries - based on PacketVideo's OpenCORE; the libraries support
playback and recording of many popular audio and video formats, as well as
static image files, including MPEG4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, and PNG
• Surface Manager - manages access to the display subsystem and
seamlessly composites 2D and 3D graphic layers from multiple applications
• LibWebCore - a modern web browser engine which powers both the Android
browser and an embeddable web view
• SGL - the underlying 2D graphics engine
• 3D libraries - an implementation based on OpenGL ES 1.0 APIs; the libraries
use either hardware 3D acceleration (where available) or the included, highly
optimized 3D software rasterizer
• FreeType - bitmap and vector font rendering
• SQLite - a powerful and lightweight relational database engine available to
all applications
Android Runtime
Android includes a set of core libraries that provides most of the functionality available in the
core libraries of the Java programming language.
Every Android application runs in its own process, with its own instance of the Dalvik virtual
machine. Dalvik has been written so that a device can run multiple VMs efficiently. The Dalvik
VM executes files in the Dalvik Executable (.dex) format which is optimized for minimal
memory footprint. The VM is register-based, and runs classes compiled by a Java language
compiler that have been transformed into the .dex format by the included "dx" tool.
The Dalvik VM relies on the Linux kernel for underlying functionality such as threading and
low-level memory management.
Linux Kernel
Android relies on Linux version 2.6 for core system services such as security, memory
management, process management, network stack, and driver model. The kernel also acts as an
abstraction layer between the hardware and the rest of the software stack.NEW creating android

The world on Finger tips
.There should be nothing that users can access on their desktop
that they can’t access on their cell phone” – Andy Rubin
Android Life Cycle
Why Android is the Future?
Open source
The project Google codes ensure partnership of wide range of
customers in development
User driven
Manufacturer Independent
High security using linux features High performance of multitasking
Webkit browser gives PC like browsing experience
Average Kernel size
Wide product diversity
Reliable
Portability advantage with linux
Conclusion
Open to all: industry, developers and users
Best OS for moving world
One of the best innovative gifts for the next generation
