Android is developed by the Open Handset Alliance led by
Google.
Google purchased the initial developer of the software,
Android Inc., in 2005.

●
Applications
All applications are written using the Java programming language.
●
Application Framework
By providing an open development platform, Android offers developers the ability to build extremely rich and
innovative applications. Developers are free to take advantage of the device hardware, access location information,
run background services, set alarms, add notifications to the status bar, and much, much more.
Developers have full access to the same framework APIs used by the core applications.
●
Libraries
Android includes a set of C/C++ libraries used by various components of the Android system. These capabilities are
exposed to developers through the Android application framework.
Every Android application runs in its own process, with its own instance of the Dalvik virtual machine. Dalvik has
been written so that a device can run multiple VMs efficiently. The Dalvik VM relies on the Linux kernel for
underlying functionality such as threading and low-level memory management.
●
Linux Kernel
Android relies on Linux version 2.6 for core system services such as security, memory management, process
management, network stack, and driver model. The kernel also acts as an abstraction layer between the hardware
and the rest of the software stack.

Android Manifest
●
●
●
●
Every application must have an AndroidManifest.xml file (with
precisely that name) in its root directory.
The manifest presents essential information about the
application to the Android system.
Activities, Permissions, Minimum Android Level, etc. should
be declared in the manifest.
