Android: An Open Handset Alliance Project

Android is an open-source operating system developed by the Open Handset Alliance led by Google. It provides a complete software stack for building mobile devices including applications, middleware, libraries and key applications. The Android software development kit includes tools like an emulator, development plugins and debugging tools to help developers create applications. Real-time translation and camera input applications were presented as examples of applications that can be built on the Android platform.

DEVELOPMENT TOOLS
The Android SDK includes a variety of custom tools that help
you develop mobile applications on the Android platform.Three
of the most significant tools are:

1.Android Emulator -A virtual mobile device that runs on


our computer -use to design, debug, and test our applications in
an actual Android run-time environment

2.Android Development Tools Plugin -for the Eclipse IDE -


adds powerful extensions to the Eclipse integrated environment

3.Dalvik Debug Monitor Service (DDMS) -Integrated with


Dalvik -this tool let us manage processes on an emulator and 11
assists in debugging
REAL TIME APPLICATION

• A translater for Android


• If you are in a country where no one understands your
language
• You cannot read anything
• No aditional device needed
• You have your mobile phone
always with you
REAL TIME APPLICATION (cont.)

• Uses the google translator


• Can be extended with new languages
• Adaptive GUI
• Uses XMPP for data transmission
• GUI fully defined in XML
• Uses camera input and OCR

“IMPORTANCE HIERARCHY”
Foreground Process -required for what the user is currently
doing

Visible Process -holding an Activity - visible to the user on-


screen but not in the foreground(on
pause)

Service Process -holding a Service - not directly visible to the


user- relevant tasks

Background Process -holding an Activity - not visible to the


user - can kill at any time(stopped)
15
Empty Process -doesn't hold any active application
components(as a cache to improve start-up
FINDINGS

• Android uses proven technology like Java, XML andLinux


• There is an initial learning effort
• Android doesn‘t have many of the limitations of current
mobile platforms
• It offers a rich API for application development
• Android is still in beta
• Android development is fun
