An introduction to Android development, as given internally to collegues

3. Architecture of the Android OS

4. Architecture of an android application

5. Android future developments

9. Developed by Google and Open Handset Alliance

10. Based on Linux kernel and many open source libraries

11. Development done in Java

13. 'With Google'

15. Does not accept Java Bytecode, but only optimized DEX files

16. Class libraries are similar to Java SE, but not completely compatible

22. Maintains 4 separate log-buffers, exported via adb

24. Concurrent GC since 2.3

26. Optimized for low-memory, low-cpu environment

27. Uses a different instruction set than Java VM

28. Contains multiple .class files

35. OS resolves requested action (e.g. 'edit contact') with all registered Intent receivers

36. Highly versatile and modular

37. Allows changing out default functionality for alternatives

39. Intent Receivers

40. Services

42. Controlled by manifest file

43. Run as a separate Linux process, in a sandbox

44. Tight security model

46. Application can be killed by the Android OS if memory is needed

47. State changes are triggered by Android OS

49. API for different android versions

50. Full emulator for system

51. ADB debugger bridge

52. Unit testing environment

53. Eclipse plugin

54. Tooling for performance tuning etc

56. Coding support

57. Logging

58. Debugging

59. Code generation

60. File explorer

61. Testing

65. Different views

67. Own code

68. Generated code

70. Images

71. Layouts

72. Values

73. Animations

76. Project Tungsten/Android @ Home

77. Google TV

80. Gives the possibility for new accessories and applications for our mobile phones

83. Nieuwe klasse Android devices

84. Geen UI, wel netwerk en audio uitgangen

85. … En mogelijkheden tot home-control

86. Nieuw protocol (yet another...)

87. Idee is goed: zaken niet via een adapter controleren, maar direct.

90. Originally only subroutines in C/C++

91. Only suitable for computationally expensive routines (physics, graphical rendering)

93. No kernel headers

97. Version 2.0 to be introduced, based on Honeycomb

98. Finally App-store enabled.
