3. HISTORY OF ANDROID
Android Inc.founded in Palo Alto,california ,united states in October 2003 by Andy Rubin[co-founder of danger ],rich miner[co-founder of wildfire communication Inc.],nick sears[once VP at T-mobile],
and Chris white[headed design and interface development at web TV] to develop.

4. WHAT IS ANDROID?
It is a open source software platform and operating system for mobile devices
Based on the Linux kernel
Developed by Google and later the Open Handset Alliance (OHA)
Allows writing managed code in the Java language
Android has its own virtual machine i.e. DVM(Dalvik Virtual Machine),which is used for executing the android applicatn.
Google purchased the initial developer of the software , android incorporated in 2005.

5. Open Handset Alliance
The open handset alliance(OHA) is a business alliance of firm to develop open standard for mobile devices.
Devoted to advancing open standards for mobile devices
Develop technologies that will significantly lower the cost of developing and distributing mobile devices and services.

6. Open Handset Alliance (OHA) included several companies

10. ANDROID ARCHITECTURE The software stack is split into Four Layers::
The application layer
The application framework
The libraries and runtime
The kernel

12. LINUX KERNEL •The architecture is based on the Linux2.6 kernel.
• This layer is core of android architecture. It provides service like power management, memory management, security etc.
It helps in software or hardware binding for better communication.

13. NATIVE LIBRARIES
Android has its own libraries, which is written in C/C++. These libraries cannot be accessed directly. With the help of application framework, we can access these libraries. There are many libraries like web libraries to access web browsers, libraries for android and video formats etc.

14. Android Run Time
• The Android Runtime was designed specifically for Android to meet the needs of running in an embedded environment where you have limited battery, limited memory, limited CPU.
Dalvik is the process virtual machine in Google's android operating system. It is the software that runs the apps on android devices. Dalvik is thus an integral part of android ,which is typically used on mobile devices such as mobile phones and tablet computers.
Programs are commonly written in java and compiled to byte code.

15. Android Run Time
•This is in blue, meaning that it's written in the Java programming language.
•The core library contains all of the collection classes, utilities, IO, all the utilities and tools that you’ve come to expected to use.

16. Application Framework
•This is all written in a Java programming language and the application framework is the toolkit that all applications use.
•These applications include the ones that come with a phone like the home applications, or the phone application.
•It includes applications written by Google, and it includes apps that will be written by you.
•So, all apps use the same framework and the same APIs.

17. Contd… These are as follows:-
Activity manager:-It manages the lifecycle of applications. It enable proper management of all the activities. All the activities are controlled by activity manager.
Resource manager:-It provides access to non-code resources such as graphics etc.
Notification manager:-It enables all applications to display custom alerts in status bar.
Location manager:- It fires alerts when user enters or leaves a specified geographical location.
Package manager:-It is use to retrieve the data about installed packages on device.
Window manager:-It is use to create views and layouts.
Telephony manager:-It is use to handle settings of network connection and all information about services on device.

18. APPLICATION LAYER
•the final layer on top is Applications.
It includes the home application the contacts application , the browser, and apps.
It is the most upper layer in android architecture.
All the applications like camera, Google maps, browser,sms,calendars,contacts are native applications. These applications works with end user with the help of application framework to operate.

19. Security
Android is a multi-process system, in which each application (and parts of the system) runs in its own process. Most security between applications and the system is enforced at the process level through standard Linux facilities, such as user and group IDs that are assigned to applications.

20. Contd..
Android is designed having multi layer security which provides flexibility for this platform. When attackers attempt attack on device, android platform help to reduce the portability of the attack.
There are key components of android security which are described as follows:
Design review:-when a security model is designed then it will be reviewed by the developers so that risk level will be very less while using the model.
Code review and penetrating testing:-the goal of this code review is that in which it will be checked that how the system will become strong?
Open source and community review:-android uses open source technologies that have significant external review such as Linux kernel.
Incident response:-android team enables the rapid mitigation of vulnerabilities to ensure that potential risks to all android users are minimized.

21. FEATURES OF ANDROID Background Wi-Fi location still runs even when
Wi-Fi is turned off
Developer logging and analyzing enhancements
It is optimized for mobile devices.
It enables reuse and replacement of components.
Java support ,media support, multi touch, video calling,multi tasking ,voice based features, screen capture, camera ,bluetooth,gps,compass and accelerometer,3G

22. ADVANTAGES
The ability for anyone to customize the Google Android platform
It gives you better notification.
It lets you choose your hardware.
It has better app market(1,80,000 application)
A more mature platform
With the support of many applications, the user can change the screen display.
With Google chrome you can open many window at once.
Supports all Google services: Android operating system supports all of Google services ranging from Gmail to Google reader. all Google services can you have with one operating system, namely Android.

23. DIS-ADVANTAGES
Android Market is less control of the manager, sometimes there are malware.
Wasteful Batteries, This is because the OS is a lot of "process" in the background causing the battery quickly drains.
Sometimes slow device company issued an official version of Android your own .
Extremely inconsistence in design among apps.
Very unstable and often hang or crash.

24. LIMITATIONS OF ANDROID
Development requirements in
Java
Android SDK
Eclipse IDE (optional)
Bluetooth limitations:-
Android doesn't support:
Bluetooth stereo
Contacts exchange
Modem pairing
Wireless keyboards
Firefox mobile isn't coming to android because of android limitations
Apps in Android Market need to be programmed with a custom form of Java
→ Mozilla and the Fennec won't have that
There are no split or interval times available.
Small memory size.
Continuous Internet connection is required
LIMITATIONS OF ANDROID

25. Android Application Support

26. CONCLUSION
We hope that the next versions of Android have overcome the actual limitations and that the future possibilities became a reality and may this software is also developed to use in PC’s also.
