Android is a widely used operating system designed for mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets. It’s built upon a Linux kernel and incorporates middleware, C-based libraries, and APIs, alongside an application framework that supports Java-compatible libraries based on Apache Harmony. A large developer community actively creates applications (“apps”) to enhance the functionality of Android devices. These apps are primarily developed using customized versions of Java or Kotlin, and can be easily downloaded from third-party sources or through online stores like Google Play Store.
