an operating system, middleware and key applications.
•The Android SDK provides the tools and developing
applications on the Android platform using the Java
programming language.

Features:
•Application framework: enabling reuse and replacement of components.

•Dalvik virtual machine: optimized for mobile devices

•Integrated browser: based on the open source WebKit engine

•SQLite: for structured data storage


Android Runtime:

• Android includes a set of core libraries that provides most of the functionality available
in the core libraries of the Java programming language.

• Every Android application runs in its own process, with its own instance of the Dalvik
virtual machine

• Dalvik has been written so that a device can run multiple VMs efficiently.

• The VM is register-based, and runs classes compiled by a Java language compiler that
have been transformed into the .dex format by the included "dx" tool.
