    What Comes in the Box


    The Android APIs Development tools The Android Virtual Device Manager and Emulator Full documentation Online support

    Linux Kernel
    Works as a HAL Device drivers Memory management Process management Networking

    Libraries
    C/C++ libraries Interface through Java Surface manager Handling UI Windows 2D and 3D graphics Media codecs, SQLite, Browser engine

    Android Runtime
    Dalvik VM
    Dex files Compact and efficient than class files Limited memory and battery power

    Core Libraries
    Java 5 Std edition Collections, I/O etc

    Application Framework

    API interface Activity manager manages application life cycle.

    Applications
    Built in and user apps Can replace built in apps

    Application Building Blocks


    Activity IntentReceiver Service ContentProvider

    Activities
    Typically correspond to one UI screen But, they can:
    Be faceless Be in a floating window Return a value

    Intents
    Think of Intents as a verb and object; a description of what you want done
    E.g. VIEW, CALL, PLAY etc..

    System matches Intent with Activity that can best provide the service Activities and IntentReceivers describe what Intents they can service

    Intents
    Home Picasa Photo Gallery

    Contacts

    Pick photo
    GMail

    Chat

    Blogger Blogger

    Client component makes a System picks best request for a specific use New components can component for that action action functionality existing

    Services
    Faceless components that run in the background
    E.g. music player, network download etc

    ContentProviders
    Enables sharing of data across applications
    E.g. address book, photo gallery

    Provides uniform APIs for:


    querying delete, update and insert.

    Content is represented by URI and MIME type

    Development Tools
    Eclipse Android SDK 1.0-2.0 developer.android.com

    The Emulator
    QEMU-based ARM emulator Runs the same image as the device Limitations:
    No Camera support

    Devices

    Hello World
    http://developer.android.com/guide/tutorial s/hello-world.html Generating UIs
    Views building blocks E.g. TextView, EditText, Button Placed into Layouts E.g. LinearLayout, TableLayout, AbsoluteLayout

    Application Lifecycle
    Application run in their own processes (VM, PID) Processes are started and stopped as needed to run an application's components Processes may be killed to reclaim resources
