5. Intro to Android

6. Android Background
A Software Stack: OS, Middle-ware, key apps.
Developed by Android Inc. Bought by Google in 2005.
Based on Linux kernel
Open Source
Android Open Source Project (AOSP), led by Google.
Under Apache 2.0 License. Developed by Open
Handset Alliance. Huge code base
Application layer is Java-based
Android is NOT Linux. No native windowing system. No
glibc support.NO GNU/LINUX utilities

7. Android Background
Open Handset Alliance?
A consortium of several companies
Devoted to advancing open standards for
mobile devices
Develop technologies that will significantly
lower the cost of developing and
distributing mobile devices and services.

8. Architecture

9. Linux Kernel
Linux Kernel: basic hardware abstraction, memory management, process
management, networking, and other operating system services.
Display Driver Camera Driver Flash Memory Driver Binder (IPC) Driver
Keypad Driver WiFi Driver Audio Driver Power Management

10. Libraries
Native Libraries: written in C or C++, Standard C lib. Only to be called by
higher level programs
Surface Manager Media Framework SQLite OpenGL ES
FreeType WebKit SGL SSL libc

11. Android Runtime
Core Libraries consists of most of standard Java libraries (but not J2SE/
J2ME).
Don’t use VM, Dalvik VM instead. Run .dex files. Each app runs in its own VM
Core Libraries
Dalvik Virtual
Machine

12. Application Framework
Full set of services built in Java
View & windows, resources, content providers, phone services & APIs,
notifications, application life-cycle management
All apps directly interact with this layer
Activity Manager Window Manager Content Providers
View System
Package Manager Telephony Manager Resource Manager
Location Manager Notification Manager

13. Applications
Applications and Widgets: the real programs display information and interact
with users.
Home Contacts Browser Your app

14. Android Applications
Loosely coupled set of services
One or more:
Activities (≃ screens)
Services (≃ background processes)
Broadcast receiver (≃ waiting and response)
Content providers (≃ provides some data, mostly
backed by SQLite)
Can use other apps functionality (≃ intent)

15. Android Applications
Set of activities

16. Application Lifecycle
Controlled by Tasks
A task is a set of activities arranged in a stack
Root Task
Launching an app makes it the root of a task
New activities pushed on the task task (default
behaviour)
Activity 2
Activity 1
Task

17. Application Lifecycle
App Process
All apps are run in their own process
Priority
Android manages memory by prioritising
processes and killing least important ones

18. Application Lifecycle
Jepret Story app process Twitter app process

21. Security & Permissions
Each Android package is given its own
unique Linux user ID
An app is sandboxed and can't disrupt other
apps, except by explicitly declaring the
permissions for it
Permissions:
Declarative permission in manifest file
Users are prompted at install time
Apps (APK files) are signed locally

22. Android 5.0Some updates on…

23. Material Design
Visual Language + Good Design + Innovation

24. Material Design
Colors
Large areas, suggested color palette
Images
More personal & emotional content

28. Android RunTime (ART)
Good bye Dalvik
ART runtime replaces Dalvik as the platform default
Features
Ahead of time compilation (AOT)

64 bit support
Better Profiling and Debugging
First appearance in Android 4.4 (experimental)

29. ART - AOT
Compilation during installation
Installation takes longer
More storage required (DEX + Compiled)
Better startup time
No compilation lags during execution
Compiled ART code is faster
than compiled Dalvik code
In general, better battery life, less memory
consumption
