Android is a sofware stack(specially design for mobile devices), consists of Operating system, middleware and applications.
Or we can say, Android is a combination of three components:
- A free, open-source operating system for mobile devices
- An open-source development platform for creating mobile applications
- Devices, particularly mobile phones, that run the Android operating system and the applications
created for it
Following are Key concepts that builds Android.
Application framework:enabling reuse and replacement of components
SQLite: is serverless, lightweight,relational, transactional SQL database engine, designed for structured data storage.
Dalvik virtual machine: optimized for mobile devices
Integrated browser: based on the open source WebKit engine
Optimized graphics: powered by a custom 2D graphics library; 3D graphics based on the OpenGL ES 1.0 specification (hardware acceleration optional)
Media support: for common audio, video, and still image formts (MPEG4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG, GIF)
Hardware Support functions : GSM Telephony, Bluetooth, EDGE, 3G, and WiFi ,Camera, GPS, compass, and accelerometer (hardware dependent)
Rich development environment: including a device emulator, tools for debugging, memory and performance profiling, and a plugin for the Eclipse IDE.
