    Main topics

    1. Introduction
    2. Platform
    3. Software development
    4. Conclusion

    1. Introduction (1)
    What is Android?

    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

    Introducing of the Android platform was announced on 5 November 2007 with


    the founding of OHA

    1. Introduction (Cont.)
    What is the Open Handset Alliance (OHA)?
    It's a consortium of several companies

    1. Introduction (Cont.)
    What is the Open Handset Alliance (OHA)?

    Devoted to advancing open standards for mobile devices

    Develop technologies that will significantly lower the cost of developing and
    distributing mobile devices and services

    2. Platform
    2.1 Hardware
    Android is not a single piece of hardware; it's a complete, end-to-end software
    platform that can be adapted to work on any number of hardware configurations.
    Everything is there, from the bootloader all the way up to the applications.

    2. Platform (Cont.)
    2.2 Operating System(s)

    Android uses Linux for its device drivers, memory management, process
    management, and networking.

    The next level up contains the Android native libraries. They are all written in
    C/C++ internally, but youll be calling them through Java interfaces. In this layer
    you can find the Surface Manager, 2D and 3D graphics, Media codecs, the
    SQL database (SQLite), and a native web browser engine (WebKit).

    2. Platform (Cont.)
    2.3 Network Connectivity
    It supports wireless communications using:

    GSM mobile-phone technology

    3G

    Edge

    802.11 Wi-Fi networks

    2. Platform (Cont.)
    2.4 Security
    Android is a multi-process system, in which each application (and parts of the
    system) runs in its own process. Most security between applications and the
    system is enforced at the process level through standard Linux facilities, such as
    user and group IDs that are assigned to applications.
    .

    2. Platform (Cont.)
    2.5 Performance

    3. Software development
    3.1 Development requirements

    Java

    Android SDK

    Eclipse IDE (optional)

    3. Software development
    3.3 Programming Language(s)

    Java officially supported

    C/C++ also possible using java interfaces

    Conclusion :

    We can only hope that the next versions of Android have overcome the actual
    limitations and that the future possibilities became a reality ..
