Android SDK
Android Architecture:-
Whats is Android sdk?
A software development kit that enables developers to create applications for the Android platform. The Android SDK includes sample projects with source code, development tools, an emulator, and required libraries to build Android applications. Applications are written using the Java programming language and run on Dalvik, a custom virtual machine designed for embedded use which runs on top of a Linux kernel.
Android Studio:-
It is the official integrated development environment (IDE) for Android platform development.
Features:-
- Gradle-based build support.
- Android-specific refactoring and quick fixes.
- Lint tools to catch performance, usability, version compatibility and other problems.
- ProGuard integration and app-signing capabilities.
- Template-based wizards to create common Android designs and components.
- A rich layout editor that allows users to drag-and-drop UI components, option to preview layouts on multiple screen configurations.
- Support for building Android Wear apps
- Built-in support for Google Cloud Platform, enabling integration with Google Cloud Messaging and App Engine.
- Easy to Coding.
