APP DEVELOPMENT

App is simply a shortening term of the ‘Software Application’ for the ease of use. The procedure and technique of the development of mobile application is fairly different from the desktop applications or the web applications as these do not need any web browsers for working. These are independently launched with or without the use of internet services as structured or developed by the app developers and demand of the users. Using Android, mobile app development is done. Many different application tools are used in the development of android application. Few official tools are Android SDK (Software Development kit), it is a comprehensive set of development tools used for developing the android app. The computer language used for the development of the application is object oriented language JAVA.

                    

DEVELOPMENT KIT

The Android Software Development Kit is set of tools required for the development of the application. It consists of a debugger, libraries, a handset emulator that enables the host system to run software or use peripheral devices designed for the guest system. The emulator is based on QEMU (Quick Emulator) which is used for running virtual machines. The SDK is supported on Linux, Windows, and Mac OS but not for the android platform itself. The SDK also supports older versions of the Android platform in case developers wish to target their applications at older devices. Android applications are packaged in “.apk” format and stored under […/data/app] folder on the Android OS. This folder is accessible only to the root user for security reasons. APK package contains “.dex” files.

The others are Android NDK (Native development Kit), which is written in C, C++ but the native libraries can be called from JAVA code too. While these are the basic platforms for android development, there are some third party applications too. These are the android apps which can be directly used on devices for the development of app. A few examples are: Corona SDK, Kivy, Delphi etc.
