The Android mobile application development is so simple and void of technical complexities that the non-coders can also use it and develop meaningful Android mobile applications. The Android platform facilitates the application developer with such a platform and SDK that the developer need not have extensive expertise at any programming language.
The cell phones of yesteryears have now evolved into smart phones. These smart phones are now quickly becoming a substitute for the desk top PCs and laptops. It is because of the portability and utility features that this replacement is in full swing. Most of the users of these smart phones now access the internet through these palm sized devices. The websites and other internet applications that were earlier designed to be compatible with the desktop PCs and laptops have to be now compatible with the operating systems and platforms of the smart phones. The Android platform is the product of a group of collaborated organizations called Open Handset Alliance in which Google is the leading player. The Android is an open source platform. This tends to minimize the investments on the Android mobile application development.
Most of the smart phones have Android operating system and platform. Android is a pile or collection of software especially for smart phones. Android constitutes of operating system (OS), key applications and middleware. The APIs and the tools necessary to develop the Android applications are provided by the Android SDK. The Java programming language is used to start the development of applications on the Android platform. For the Android mobile application developers the use of Android SDK is now compulsory. The Android SDK includes all the application framework, class libraries and packages necessary to develop an Android application. The Android SDK needs to be downloaded and installed by the developer. On the other hand the PATH environment variable needs to be set up too.
The other big benefit of the Android being an open source development platform is that it facilitates the developer with the latest and attractive applications. Some of the benefits that the developer can get include access location information, device hardware, setting off alarms, operating background services, and adding status bar notifications.
The same application framework APIs that the core applications use are available to all the developers. This framework can easily be downloaded from the net and used to create a new application for the consumer. All that the developer needs to know is how to drag and drop the various codes. There is a wide array of design vehicles available with the help of which ideas can be transformed into reality.
To sum it up Android platform has made Android mobile application development very easy. This not only adds features to the smart phone but enhances the utility of Android as well.
