What is an ANDROID?

Android Operation System Android is an operating system based on Linux with a Java programming interface.


 The Android Software Development Kit (Android SDK) provides all necessary tools to develop Android applications.

 This includes a compiler, debugger and a device emulator, as well as its own virtual machine to run Android programs.

 Android is currently primarily developed by Google. Android allows background processing, provides a rich user interface library, supports 2-D and 3-D graphics using the OpenGL libraries, access to the file system and provides an embedded SQLite database.

 Android applications consist of different components and can re-use components of other applications.

This leads to the concept of a task in Android; an application can re-use other Android components to archive a task. (http://www.vogella.com/articles/Android/article.html)
