What is Android?


Android is misunderstood. Some call it OS, some are mislead and call it application etc
It is a platform, more precise an open source software platform for mobile devices

But android is more than all of this , it is a stack that leverages the functionality of today’s mobile devices

Android is a software environment for mobile devices.

  • Android has a built in Linux kernel which helps to leverage the hardwares of a mobile device. Making it independent of hardware.
  • Android has a Dalvik virtual machine, which runs the applications written in Java. This makes development easy and independent from the low level complexity of a mobile device.
