Guide for Development of Android Plugins
In present scenario of information technology, android is gaining popularity over internet and in real world as well. Let’s understand the Android in details. Android is an operating system for mobile devices like cellular phones, tablet computers and notebooks like window operating system for computers. Android Inc developed the operating system and Google purchased it for their further business purpose.
The android operating system contains java applications while running on java based fretworks with top java libraries.So, we could say that android users with knowledge of java and java application development could easily make any application based on android. Android Operating System contains five significant components as application framework, libraries, android run time and Linux kernel.
Android operating system has many versions such as Android 1.1, 1.5, 1.6, 2.0, 2.0, 2.1. Any one interesting to create the android applications needs to have Android SDK, Eclipse, and ADT Plug in.
Android SDK facilitates the a variety of tools and API as basic for development of any Android application on Android platform using Java programming language. While installing the Android SDK on computer there should be Windows XP (32-bit) or Vista (32- or 64-bit) and Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later (x86 only) operating system, here 2.1 is the latest Version of Android SDK. Computer also needs the support of development environment like Eclipse IDE, Eclipse JDT plugin, JDK 5.
For the application development of android plugins there needs some necessary components like the user interface (UI) is build using View and View Group objects. Additional is what required is Android SDK including few tools for debug the applications like Android Debug Bridge (ADB), Dalvik Debug Monitor Server (DDMS), Traceview, logcat, and Eclipse ADT plugin.
Testing is very important part of applications like Android Plugins . If anyone developed the application using Eclipse and ADT then could do the testing of application within an emulator or the device you on which the application is developed for.
There are various custom tools for Android SDK which are very much useful android developers to create the android application as –
– Android Development Tools Plugin
– Android Emulator
– Android Virtual Devices (AVDs)
– Android Debug Bridge (ADB)
– Android Asset Packaging Tool (AAPT)
– Android Interface Description Language (AIDL)
As the Android Plugins a pplications are successfully developed the next and final phase is Application installation on particular devices. Further, if there is need to move the application on external devices then it should be declared “android:installLocation” manifest attribute within the application.
