What is Android?
Android
is an open
source and Linux-based Operating System for mobile devices such as smartphones and
tablet computers. Android was developed by the Open Handset Alliance, led by
Google, and other companies.
Android
offers a unified
approach to application
development for mobile
devices which means developers
need only develop for Android, and their applic actions should be able to
run on different devices powered by Android.
The first beta version of the Android Software
Development Kit (SDK) was released by Google in 2007 where as the first commercial
version, Android 1.0, was released in September 2008.
On June
27, 2012, at
the Google I/O
conference, Google announced
the next Android
version, 4.1 Jelly Bean . Jelly
Bean is an
incremental update, with
the primary aim of
improving the
user interface, both
in terms of functionality
and performance.
The source code for Android is available under free
and open source software licenses. Google publishes most of the code under the Apache License version 2.0
and the rest, Linux kernel changes, under the GNU General Public License
version 2\
