What is Android?
Google created the well-known mobile operating system known as Android. It was created using Java and C++ and is based on the Linux kernel. Here are a few steps you can take to learn how to create Android applications:
- Familiarize yourself with Java or Kotlin; the programming languages used to develop Android apps.
- The official Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for Android app development, Android Studio, should be installed.
- Go through the Android Studio documentation and tutorials to get an understanding of the various tools and features available in the IDE.
- Read the Android developer documentation and learn about the different components of an Android app, such as activities, fragments, layouts, and services.
- Build simple apps to get a feel for the development process and to learn more about the Android framework.
- As you progress, consider taking online courses or enrolling in a Bootcamp to learn more advanced concepts and gain practical experience.
Because Android offers a standardized method of mobile application development, developers only need to write code for Android; thereafter, their applications should be compatible with a variety of Android-powered devices.
Google launched the first beta version of the Android Software Development Kit (SDK) in 2007, while Android 1.0, the first commercial version, was unveiled in September 2008.
The Android Software Development Kit is typically used to create Android applications, which are typically created in Java.
Once they have been created, Android applications are simple to bundle and sell online via stores like Google Play, SlideME, Opera Mobile Store, Mobango, F-droid, and the Amazon Appstore.
