10. ANDROID SDK
 Android software development is the process by
which new applications are created for
the Android operating system.
 Applications are usually developed in
the Java programming language using the
Android Software Development Kit.

11. DESIGN
• Android is based on the Linux kernel,
with middleware, libraries and APIs written
in C and application software running on
an application framework which includes Java-
compatible libraries based on Apache Harmony.
