All About Android, Google`s New Mobile Operating System - The Features of Android
(Page 3 of 5 )
As previously stated, Android is an open platform, so developers can create dynamic and rich applications for Android. For example, an application can call on any of the mobile device's capabilities, whether it's sending text messages, using the camera, or making phone calls. A Linux-based system, Android uses a virtual machine that is engineered to enhance the hardware and memory resources in a mobile environment. Android uses Linux version 2.6 for its core systems, including memory management, driver model, network stack, security, and process management.
Android is scalable, meaning it can adapt to work with more advanced mobile applications as they'rebeing developed. Finally, Android comprises a multi-tasking environment, meaning you can operate more than one application at the same time.
Android doesn't discriminate between your applications and the mobile device's core applications. Users will have plenty of options to choose from when it comes to services and applications. For example, they can change their device's home screen or the style of the dialer. Customers will be able to employ their favorite image application to manage all of their photos. Applications can be seamlessly embedded in style sheets, HTML, and JavaScript. You can use WebView to render web content in an application.
Android aims to break down barriers, enabling customers to have a rich and enjoyable experience.Other things that developers can do include the ability to merge data from the Internet with information on the customer's mobile device. Developers will be able to merge information, such as geographic location, calendar, and contact information. Developers will also be able to create applications that not only can locate the customer's friend or family member, but notify you when they're in your area. That way, you can meet up with them.
In addition to being flexible and scalable, developers can quickly create and deploy applications. For one, developers can get the device's location and let it communicate with another mobile device. As a result, they can create peer-to-peer social applications. If you're ready to start developing applications, you can use Google'sAndroid Software Development Kit.
