What is Android?
Android is a software
stack for mobile devices
that includes an operating
system, middleware and
key applications.
Android SDK
Uses Java programming
language
Planned to run on different types of devices.

Android platform is based on Linux
technology.
Composed of OS, user interface and
application components.
Its issuance breaks the monopoly status of
Microsoft windows mobile OS and Nokias
Symbian OS.
Allows anyone to develop him own
applications.
User is likely to download and install
malicious softwares written by software
hackers.

Android Platform
Architecture
Android has built in tools.
Android platform composed of Linux
kernel, system libraries, android run
time, application framework and so on
five parts.
Linux kernel
Android relies on Linux 2.6 version
It provides core system services
security,memory management, process
management, network group, driven model.
The core part is equivalent to an abstract level
between the hardware layer and other software
in the systems.
Libraries
Android includes a set of C/C++ libraries.
Androids core libraries provide most of the
function to the Java class libraries.
Android runtime
Android runtime consists of two
components.
First, a set of core libraries.
Second, the Virtual machine Dalvik.
Java programs are received and
translated by the VM Dalvik.
Applications will be encapsulated in
Dalvik.
A VM is available for each and every
program even if some programs are
running in parallel.
Application Framework
An application framework is a software
framework that is used to implement a standard
structure of an application for a specific OS.
Any application can publish its own features.
These functions can be used by any other
application.
Applications
Applications are written in Java programming
language.
The Android SDK tools compile the code into an
android package,an archive file with a .apk
suffix.
The android software platform come with a set of
basic applications.
These applications can run simultaneously.
Important Features
Application framework
Dalvik VM
Integrated browser
Optimized graphics
SQLite
Media support
GSM telephony
Bluetooth,EDGE,3G and WiFi
Camera,GPS,compass and accelerometer
Rich development environment.
Android System
Security
In the default settings, no application has
permission to perform any operations that
would adversely impact other applications,
the OS, or the user.
Androids security mechanism is mainly
reflected in 2 aspects:Android system
security and data security.
Android system security
protection
Android system safety inherited the design of
Linux in the design ideology.
In practice, each Android application runs in its
own process.
In the OS, each application runs with a unique
system identity.
Most of the security functions are provided by
the permission mechanism.
Permission can be restricted to particular
specific process operations.
Android data security
protection
Android is privilege
separated.
Data security mainly
relies on software
signature
mechanism.
It uses AndroidManifest.xml file
When specified software services are
called,the system first checks this file.
To make use of protected features of the
device, one must include in
AndroidManifest.xml,one or more <uses-
permission> tags declaring the
permissions.
<manifest>
<uses-permission
android:name=android.permission.READ/>
<uses-permission
android:name=android.permission.RECEIVE/>
<uses-permission
android:name=android.permission.SEND/>
</manifest>
