Android

According to sales statistics for the first quarter of 2016, as much as 84 per cent of mobile devices are Android-based. That is to say that it is by far the most popular operating system in its class. It is mostly used in a wide range of mobile devices, for instance cell phones, smart phones, tablets or net books.
Android is an open source operating system based on Linux core and Android development is mostly done in Java using Android Software Development Kit (Android SDK). Android Studio (built on IntelliJ IDEA) is the official IDE.

Advantages of Android:

  • The biggest mobile market share and the largest selection of devices
  • Free access to the developer platform
  • Open “ecosystem”
    • possibility to modify the OS (e.g. effecting changes to suit particular devices)
    • possibility to modify the interface appearance (e.g. proprietary hardware manufacturers’ skins)
    • wide range of possibilities when it comes to loading applications or patches
    • well developed application distribution network: Google Play, SlideME, Opera Mobile Store, Mobango, F-droid, Amazon Appstore.
  • Largest number of free and commercial applications/patches
  • Multitasking – possibility to use many applications simultaneously
  • Best support for Google tools and technologies
  • Android NDK – possibility to use “native-code” languages, e.g. C or C++
