INTODUCTION TO ANDROID
APPLICATION
* Android is a mobile software platform (OS) from Google and the
Open Handset Alliance.

* It is powered by the Linux Kernel


* The underlying OS is written in C or C++
* But applications are built using Java
* Built-in Apps = Apps created in SDK
* Is an open source platform
* Thus third party can add functionalities and does not have to rely on
Google (ex: Multimedia Codecs, Sophisticated shell environment ,
etc.)
INTRODUCTION

Android is a complete set of software for mobile devices such as


tablet computers, notebooks, smartphones, electronic book
readers, set-top boxes etc.
It contains a linux-based Operating
System, middleware and key mobile applications.
It can be thought of as a mobile operating system. But it is not
limited to mobile only. It is currently used in various devices such
as mobiles, tablets, televisions etc.
ANDROID FEATURES

It’s obvious that mobile device may take the place of PC in future
OS plays a vital part

Embedded
Processor Device Middleware Apps
OS
APPLICATION FRAMEWORK
LINUX KERNAL
• Works as a HAL
• Device drivers
• Memory management
• Process management
• Networking
LIBRARIES
• C/C++ libraries
• Interface through Java
• Surface manager – Handling UI Windows
• 2D and 3D graphics
• Media codecs, SQLite, Browser engine
ANDROID RUNTIME
• Dalvik VM
– Dex files
– Compact and efficient than class files
– Limited memory and battery power
• Core Libraries
– Java 5 Std edition
– Collections, I/O etc…
APPLICATION FRAMEWORK

• API interface
• Activity manager – manages
application life cycle.
APPLICATION

• Built in and user apps


• Can replace built in apps
APPLICATION BUILDING BLOCK

*Activity
*Service
*Broadcast Receivers
*ContentProvider
ACTIVITIES
Typically correspond to one UI screen, Basically
through which user interact.
But, they can:
*Be faceless
*Be in a floating window
*Return a value
SERVICES
A service is a component that runs in the background to
perform long-running operations without needing to interact
with the user and it works even if application is destroyed. A
service can essentially take two states −
Started- A service is started when an application component,
such as an activity, starts it by calling startService(). Once
started, a service can run in the background indefinitely,
even if the component that started it is destroyed.
Bound-A service is bound when an application component
binds to it by calling bindService(). A bound service offers a
client-server interface that allows components to interact
with the service, send requests, get results, and even do so
across processes with interprocess communication (IPC).
SERVICES LIFE CYCLE
INTENTS RECIVER

*Components that respond to broadcast


‘Intents’
*Way to respond to external notification
or alarms
*Apps can invent and broadcast their own
Intent
