Android Developers



Combine and build upon parts of many different open source projects, Android is an open source mobile operating system. You can submit a patch for the issue, if you happen to find a bug. To contribute in the Android OS in their hardware devices, an Open Handset Alliance is pulled together a large group of companies. Promising wide adoption across the well-known vendors, there is industry wide support for Android development.
For Android Developers, Google only charge a small fee to distribute applications on the Android market because the development tools for the platform are free to download. Based on the Linux Kernel and multiple open source libraries, the Android OS is an open source platform. Android developers are free to contribute to or extend the platform as well, in addition to build applications to run on Android devices. Android developers are encouraged to collaborate and share source code with each other and not required to sign an NDA.
Developers are free to distribute their applications through other distribution channels because a very few restrictions are placed on the content or functionality allowed in Google’s Android market. Including many different phones and tablet computers, there are a wide variety of hardware devices powered by Android OS.
