 What is Android
• Android is a mobile operating system developed
by Google. It is based on the Linux kernel and is
designed primarily for touchscreen mobile
devices such as smartphones and tablets.
Android has a user interface based on direct
manipulation, utilizing touch gestures that
correspond to real-world actions, such as
swiping, tapping, pinching, and reverse pinching
to manipulate on-screen objects
 History

• Android was founded by Andy Rubin, Rich

Miner, Nick Sears, and Chris White in October
2003. Google acquired Android Inc. in 2005.
The first commercial version, Android 1.0, was
released in September 2008.
 Key points of android
• Development: Android applications are primarily developed in Java or Kotlin using the
Android Software Development Kit (SDK). Developers can use Android Studio, the official
integrated development environment (IDE), to write, debug, and test their applications.
• App Distribution: Android applications are distributed through the Google Play Store,
which is the official app store for Android devices. Developers can also distribute apps
through third-party app stores or directly through their websites.
• Customization: One of Android's key features is its high level of customization. Users can
customize their device's home screen, install custom launchers, widgets, and themes,
and even replace system components such as keyboards and browsers.
• Open Source: Android is an open-source platform, which means its source code is freely
available for modification and distribution by developers. This openness has led to a
vibrant community of developers contributing to the platform's development and
customization.
• Ecosystem: Android has a vast ecosystem of apps and services, ranging from
productivity tools and social media apps to games and entertainment services. Google
Play Store offers millions of apps, making Android a versatile platform for both personal
and professional use.
