A Little Info On Android Software Development

By Petr Kudlacek


Android software development has changed quite a bit in the last years. With the general effort to include smartphones as a big part of our lives, an increasing number of applications are becoming integral part of the market and furthering the limits of technology. Developing is adding new features and finding new ways of making things interesting.

Google is among the biggest, and may be the biggest, company in this business today and and this is what helps to motivate developers in working on this platform. Android could very well be the most used operating system in smartphones these days and is becoming as big a player in the tablets business also. That is additional encouragement for developers that would obviously like to see their applications made available to as many users as possible.

The only big competitor for Google is Apple with its own operating system that they use on devices as the iPad or iPhone. Even if this is an incredibly busy sector, it isn't as open when compared to the Android circle. There are too many restrictions for publishing applications on these devices.

Because of the state of the market for applications and the differences between Apple and Google, chances are pretty good that the Android market will soon surpass its competitor. Developers are putting out applications for both platforms but the ease of publishing for Android may become an added incentive. They are provided with software development kits and many resources for code and support.

This abundance in resources and software is giving the users the capacity to use their devices fully. GPS capabilities, communications and internet are the main options we use now. But, the options are worked on every day and that is changing our usage.

This OS is coming to its own for gaming also. Changing from productivity on to entertainment widens the doors open for more developing initiatives. Any day now, all of us will text, talk and surf as well as play!
