Gradually Android grabs the smart phone market and increases its presence in compare to other devices
. It is a software platform for developing apps for the smart phones and other compatible devices which includes a middleware, an operating system and key applications. Java is used to develop application on this incredible platform. Android SDK help and provide needed support in terms of tools for designing and developing on Java programming.
Android is greatly relies on the most trusted and oldest operating system which is Linux version for core system for research process. Like .NET Android has a set of core libraries which is providing most of the core functions. Android platform has core issues in the development of mobile apps and that comprises of services as
security,
network stack,
driver model,
memory management
process management
To separate the software stack and hardware stack for smart phones application development there is going be the kernel, which is being used to act as an abstraction layer between these two stacks.
In these amalgam virtual machines play an important role. With the help of Dalvik virtual machine every application runs its own process, hence a mobile user can run multiple apps simultaneously and efficiently. Linux kernel is useful as it include:
Driver for display
Keypad driver
Wi-Fi driver
Flash memory driver
Binder driver
Power management
Above features are time efficient and saving overall costs of the Android development. Thus, it affects the business market and proved to be revolutionary in the market. With help of above technical aspects an Android developer can build some of the fantastic applications on the Android platform.
The greatest benefit of the Android platform is opensource. Being opensource it is free to download and there are no restrictions and any charges for the development. You even dont need to anybodys approval to run or sell the Android applications in the Android market place. Due to being opensource Android has zero time to reach at the market once it developed.
Android community is the largest community and very helpful in case a developer has some problems. Google and handset alliance releases regular updates and keep you latest in the market thats why there is steep rise in the usage of Android platform among the masses. For robust Android app development you only need a talented Android app developer or a company.
