Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google, based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Android's user interface is mainly based on direct manipulation, using touch gestures that loosely match up to real-world actions, such as swiping, tapping and pinching, to influence on-screen objects, along with a virtual keyboard for text input. In addition to touchscreen devices, Google has further developed Android TV for televisions, Android auto for cars and Android wear for wrist watches, each with a specialized user interface. Variants of Android are also used on game consoles, digital cameras, PCs and other electronics.
The importance of Android application development for businesses of today cannot be emphasized on enough. Creating an Android app, just for the sake of it, or just because it is the current trend is a waste of time, money and efforts. When you decide to go mobile with Android apps development for your business, also understand how you can put that app to good use and generate revenue for your business either directly or indirectly by helping you improve some of your business processes.
Android allows phone manufacturers to produce relatively advanced devices without worrying about software—this makes them cheaper and gets them into the hands of more people. While smartphones are ubiquitous in the United States and Europe, they amount to only 30 percent of all phones sold.
This is obviously a huge topic, but it suffices to say that widespread internet adoption in the developing world has the potential to change everything from markets and education to politics and governance. It’s an exciting thing to watch, and there’s a good chance that Google—or at least, its software—will play a big part in the change.
