Why we should use Android?

Android is the leader of the global smartphone market share. the Android operating system (OS) is found on nearly 70-75% worldwide as on march 2019.

Moreover, the Android platform is open source (one can browse the code through some google software such as Google Play. With this Android has made an ecosystem of it.

And the Android platform has also made the tutorials for learning the android development.

And Learning platform is also easy to use.

Languages of Android Development

JAVA

HISTORY

android history

Now all will be looking at how android development has been started and now become that much kind of boom in this modern era.

Android was born by the introduction of the Open Handset Alliance, which was led by Google.

In the Early-stage, many issues were faced by the developers of the Android platform like many bugs, lack of documentation, no feedback system linking with the public(It was created by Google during 2008), which led to poor initial feedback. In the beginning it was more or less looking like a failure.

Preview of android sdk

A preview of SDK was released at the end of 2007.

Just After the mid of 2008, android 0.9 SDK beta was released. This release provided an updated and extended API with improved deployment tools and an updated design for the Home Screen.

In the same year after the mid of September 2008, a new version of SDK was released named Android 1.0. In the improved release there were small bug fixes and some small features were added. It also included several API changes as compared to the previous version. And from thereon the real game of Android Development started on.

During the last month of 2008 Google announced the first Android Dev Phone, a SIM-unlocked phone, and hardware- unlocked device that is designed for advanced developers.

After that the market of Android development speeded up very quickly all around the world,

if we move 5 years forward to 2008, then statics of Android are like more than 1.5 million applications have been developed and 20+ billion downloads.

And the numbers are still growing very rapidly all over the market and it is leading over IOS now time as it is very cheap and give the almost same functionality as compare to it. 

And now if you will look at the history of the Android in the beginning you will smile about it, that there were many stages in which it was looking like that Android will be shut down or it will not replace the demanding IOS software at that time.

But Now you will see about it that everyone is using Android first then shifting to IOS due to many benefits of it.

Perquisites for starting Android Development

Up to this moment you should be looking that how should I start with it as I am damn sure you are looking for just starting it but wait, you have to understand that there are little perquisites which one require to get deep into it which are-

1. One should have basic knowledge of java or kotlin (I prefer java) to start with it.

2. One Should be familiar with the OOPS concepts and loops which we use in the basic java.

These 2 are basic perquisites to starting android development.

Conclusion

The above matter concludes that one can become a proficient android developer but he/she has to dive into it and develop a mastery in it, which is a must for any career you want to pursue in your life.
