Sudoku’s Connection with Android Operating System

Let’s talk about the Libraries that has been used in Sudoku. For Sudoku game I needed a 2D Graphics. In android libraries there is a 2D graphics provider named SGL. If we need to use 2D graphics we need to call SGL.

• import android.graphics.Canvas;• import android.graphics.Paint;

SQLite: As I have to save the game, I need a data storage. SQLite provides the data storage that we need for the application.

DALVIK VIRTUAL MACHINE:It is extremely low-memory based virtual machine, which was designed especially for Android to run on embedded systems and work well in low power situations.

I had to check my program before taking it to any phone and see if it is working perfectly. DVM gives us the support to run our application virtually.

Core Libraries:The core library contains all of the collection classes, utilities, IO, all the utilities and tools that you’ve come to expected to use.

Application FrameworkFor my Sudoku game I needed to use some features from application framework of android operating system.

View System:Used to build an application, including lists, grids, text boxes, buttons, and embedded web

browser.

Resource Manager :Providing access to non-code resources (localized strings, graphics, and layout files).

Activity Manger:Managing the lifecycle of applications and providing a common navigation back stack.
