Android Programming and Its Potentials...
What is Android?
Android is
a Linux-based mobile phone operating system developed by
Google. Android is
unique because Google is actively developing the platform but giving
it away for free to hardware manufacturers and phone carriers who
want to use Android on their devices.
How Did it Start?
Android,
Inc. was founded in Palo Alto, California in October 2003 by Andy
Rubin,
Rich Miner, Nick Sears and Chris White.
The
first android phone was HTC G1. Andy Rubin and his team were very
excited about the first prototype of phone by Motorola and when it
was brought in front of them this was their reaction: “It
looked like a weapon. It was so sharp and jagged and full of hard
lines. It looked like you could cut yourself on the edges”.
Clearly, they were expecting something else.
Google
acquired Android Inc. on August 17, 2005, making it a wholly owned
subsidiary. As the development advanced, Google
marketed the platform to handset makers, promising them a smarter,
more flexible and customizable system.
Because
Google developed Android, it comes with a lot of Google services
installed right out of the box. Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Maps,
and Google Web search are all pre-installed, and Google is also the
default Web page for the Web browser. However, because Android can be
modified, carriers can choose to change this. Verizon Wireless, for
instance, has modified some Android phones to use Bing as the default
search engine.
Android
software development is the process by which new applications
are created for the Android
operating system.
Applications are usually developed in the Java programming
language using the Android Software
Development Kit,
but other development tools are available.
