Learn Android App Development From The Scratch

Android application development is the process of building software applications that are supported by the Android operating system. These applications are integrated on Android devices like smartphones, tablets, etc. Android applications can be programmed using programming languages like Java, Kotlin, C++ using an Android software development kit (SDK). Other programming languages also support Android application development, but these are popularly used. Go, JavaScript, C, C++, and assembly languages that are non-Java virtual machine (JVM) languages, uses JVM language code that is provided by tools with restricted API support. Many programming languages and tools provide cross-platform application support that allows developers to build applications for both Android and iOS.

The Android software development kit (SDK) comprises a set of development tools. The subset of the complete SDK like command line tools such as adb and fastboot can be downloaded separately. Android Debug Bridge (ADB) runs commands on a connected Android device, while Fastboot is a protocol for flashing filesystems. Android Native Development Kit (NDK) compiles programs written in C/C++ to ARM or to x86 native code (or to their 64-bit variants). 

The Android Open Accessory support was introduced on Android 3.1 environment that is backported to Android 2.3.4. This allows external USB hardware, an Android USB accessory, to communicate with an Android-powered device in functional accessory mode. THe connected accessories act as a USB host when an Android-powered device is in accessory mode and the USB device role is played by the Android-powered device. It powers the bus and enumerates the devices. Android USB accessories are specially structured to attach to Android-powered devices and to follow a simple protocol called Android accessory protocol. This protocol allows the system to detect Android-powered accessory mode. 

Android Application Development deals with developing software applications that run on Android operating systems.
