Architecture
Android Architecture

Android relies on Linux version for core system services such as security, memory
management, process management, network stack and driver model. The kernel also acts
as an abstraction layer between the hardware and the rest of the software stack.

The middleware level includes Runtime and Libraries. The Runtime include score libraries,
providing most of the functionality available in the core libraries of the Java programming
language and Dalvik virtual machine which allows every Android application runs in its
own process. The Libraries is used by various components of the Android system such as
Media Libraries, 3D libraries etc.
The upper level is Application framework and Application. Application framework offers developers
the ability to build extremely rich and innovative applications. Developers are free to take
advantage of the device hardware, access location information, run background services, set
alarms, add notifications to the status bar and much more.
