Linux Version 2.6

Security, Memory & Process Management

Hardware Abstraction Layer

Efficient computing resource management

Stable and proven OS for mobile platform10

Includes a set of core libraries that provides most of the functionality-JAVA

Optimized for low memory requirements Every Android application runs in its own process

Dalvik VM executes files in the (.dex) format Device can run multiple VMs efficiently

11

Android Runtime

Parts of this toolkit are provided by Google, and

parts are extensions or services that you write.

Manages the life cycle of applications and a common “back-stack” for user navigation

Applications

14

Development ToolsThe Android SDK includes a variety of custom tools that help you develop mobile applications on the Android platform.Three of the most significant tools are:

1.Android Emulator -A virtual mobile device that runs on our computer -use to design, debug, and test our applications in an actual Android run-time environment

2.Android Development Tools Plugin -for the Eclipse IDE - adds powerful extensions to the Eclipse integrated environment

3.Dalvik Debug Monitor Service (DDMS) -Integrated with Dalvik -this tool let us manage processes on an emulator and assists in debugging

15

Anatomy of an Android Application

There are four building blocks for an Android application:

Activity -a single screen

Service -code that is long-lived and runs without a UI.

Content Provider - manages a shared set of application data

Broadcast Receiver-receive and respond to any broadcast announcements. 

16

Life Cycle of an Android Application

17

Android Building BlocksThese are the most important parts of the Android APIs:

AndroidManifest.xml -the control file-tells the system what to do with the top-level components Android Layout xml - The files for design different layouts and UI.
