Downloading And Installing Android Studio...

We have already covered the details about the Android Studio in the previous post, don't worry if you missed that click here if you want to have a look.

One thing I want to share with you that this IDE (Integrated Development Environment ) is designed specially for the development of android apps. One can use it on operating Systems like WINDOWS, MAC OS and LINUX.The minimum required RAM for installing this IDE is 2GB but 4GB of RAM is Recommended by Google.You must have atleast 500 MB of free disk space in your computer to install it.

How To Download And Install

The installation of this IDE is demonstrated step by step in the official website of it.
So please refer here .

Android Studio . How it works?

Android Studio


Android Studio is the integral development environment used for development of Android Apps.
It is based upon the IntelliJ Idea development environment and it is the Official development tool for Android Application development for Google play.

Android studio is based upon the concept of gradle.



So what is gradle in Android Studio ?
Gradle is nothing but a system that helps in the management of the following-

i.repository management.
ii.Build Management
iii.Version Management.
iv. Application Signing of App.


Thus the gradle helps in each and every task for our projects which we build using Android Studio. It is also called as the Control version System (CVS) for android.

Through the help of Android Studio we are able to visually create our application that includes layouts like Buttons, Radio Buttons, Check Boxes, Spinners etc.

When we use Android studio we are going to use JRE or JAVA as one component and android Architecture as Another Component.

We can use collections, Utility Classes from java and we can also use Android specific classes within Android Studio.

In the next post the installation of the IDE is demonstrated click here to download and install Android Studio.

Android Architecture in details ...

Linux Kernel-

In the linux kernel  we have libraries and android runtime that helps to work with different concepts.
For example SqlLite is a library to store data within the App. We can have media libraries to interact with Videos, Audios and Pictures etc. We also have a very important library called as WEBKIT.

What is WEBKIT in Android?

Webkit is an browser engine powering safari, Google Chrome and Android Internet browser.

Android Runtime-

Android Runtime is a component which takes care of the core services like Google MAP, Location Service and also provides a runtime for running our apps on Google's  Android Operating System.

Android gives every required functions to a App like Memory Management, Device Mangment and other jobs which are the application requisition. Its the runtime's responsibility to interact with whom the App requiring.

The runtime environment actually targets different architectures which exist on different phones. The runtime is able to understand and push the native code according to Architecture of  the phone.

Application framework-

Application framework is a layer through which different applications can interact from various activities with the phone. Every application can interact with defferent kinds of frameworks like notification framework, View framework and telephonic fraework and others.

These frameworks are the basic building blocks for android architecture. These frameworks contains reusable codes, libraries, controls that any application can use for interaction.

Application-

Application layer is the top layer within android architecture.this layer contains two types of application.
1. Inbuilt application
2.User defined Application

1.Inbuilt applications-
Inbuilt apps like Telephony, SMS and browser etc.
They interact with the application framework but they are the integral part of the android system.

2.User Defined Applications- 

 These are the apps which are developed by the end user or the third party developer like Facebook Whatsapp or Twitter etc. They also interact with the application framework and work on the same manner as Inbuilt Applications

Architecture of Android

Androids Architecture is a layered mechanism by which individual components can run and perform actions based upon the users. The lowest layer is of the LINUX kernel which primarily interacts with hardware and the device drivers.
In the Linux Kernel we have libraries and android run-time that helps to work with different aspects.
for example, SQLite is a library to store data within the App we can have media library to interact with videos and picture.

The passing of data from one app to another is done through a concept called as Inter-process Communication (IPC).

Introduction to Android

Android is one of the Mobile based Operating systems that has changed the computing scenario by launching a customizable, user friendly and touch based Operating System. Though it was launched after I-Phone still it is the most dominant operating system within Mobiles and Tablets. The whole OS is based upon LINUX and was developed by a company called as ANDROID INCORPORATION. The company is ultimately acquired by Google because they wanted to enter into the Mobile Space Market.
