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.
