Android Applications: The Evolution and its Building Tools

Abstract

Mobile phone users were all riveted to their phones that had more room for physical buttons in 2008 when Android OS joined the market. Texting with buttons needed more effort and brands like Nokia, BlackBerry, and Apple were putting all their energies to make an impact. In a decade, technology has traveled to the newest horizons and Android has become the most popular OS across the world. The price range of Android devices covers the low- cost phones to the ones that can even give the most expensive iPhones a run for the money. Today, the generation has advanced to such an extent where this operating system has not only occupied our phones but it also finds its home in various devices. From Android TVs being manipulated easily through the mobile screens to the vehicles having an Android-based control system, this operating system has offered us several luxuries. The peregrination included numerous Android versions, the evolution in their design and convenience for the users. The developers noticed several features coming in quick succession while several libraries were getting deprecated as well.
