    Android is an open-source software platform and operating system for mobile devices. It is based on the Linux kernel and allows developers to write managed code using the Java programming language. The Android software development kit includes tools and libraries for developing apps, as well as an emulator and system images for testing purposes. While Android provides many advantages like customization and a large app ecosystem, it also has some limitations, such as incomplete Bluetooth support and the need for apps to use a custom Java form. Overall, Android is a complete software stack that can be adapted for use on different hardware configurations.

    1. Introduction
    2. Platform

    3. Software development
    4. Overall evaluation

    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 A complete stack OS, Middleware, Applications

    Android is under version 2 of the Apache Software License (ASL)

    Devoted to advancing open standards for mobile devices

    Develop technologies that will significantly lower the cost of developing and distributing mobile devices and services
    It's a consortium of several companies

    Hardware

    Android is not a single piece of hardware; it's a complete, endto-end software platform that can be adapted to work on any number of hardware configurations.

    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). Dalvik Virtual Machine. Dalvik runs dex files, which are coverted at compile time from standard class and jar files.

    Network Connectivity
    It supports wireless communications using:

    GSM mobile-phone technology

    3G
    Edge

    802.11 Wi-Fi networks

    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. Additional finer-grained security features are provided through a "permission" mechanism that enforces restrictions on the specific operations that a particular process can perform, and per-URI permissions for granting ad-hoc access to specific pieces of data.

    Development requirements
    Java Android SDK Eclipse IDE (optional)

    3.2 IDE and Tools


    Android SDK Class Library Developer Tools dx Dalvik Cross-Assembler aapt Android Asset Packaging Tool adb Android Debug Bridge ddms Dalvik Debug Monitor Service Emulator and System Images Documentation and Sample Code Eclipse IDE + ADT (Android Development Tools) Reduces Development and Testing Time Makes User Interface-Creation easier Makes Application Description Easier

    Handset layouts Storage Connectivity Messaging Multiple language support Web browser Java support Media support Streaming media support Additional hardware support Multi-touch Bluetooth Video calling Multitasking Voice based features Tethering Screen capture

    Advantages
    There are a host of advantages that Googles Android will derive from being an open source software. Some of the advantages include: The ability for anyone to customize the Google Android platform The consumer will benefit from having a wide range of mobile applications to choose from since the monopoly will be broken by Google Android Men will be able to customize a mobile phones using Google Android platform like never before Features like weather details, opening screen, live RSS feeds and even the icons on the opening screen will be able to be customized As a result of many mobile phones carrying Google Android, companies will come up with such innovative products like the location In addition the entertainment functionalities will be taken a notch higher by Google Android being able to offer online real time multiplayer games.

    Limitations
    Bluetooth limitations o Android doesn't support: Bluetooth stereo Contacts exchange Modem pairing Wireless keyboards

    But it'll work with Bluetooth headsets, but that's about it


    Firefox Mobile isn't coming to Android Apps in Android Market need to be programmed with a custom form of Java Mozilla and the Fennec won't have that

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

    Thank you
