List of features in Android

Features

Interface

Android's default UI is mostly founded on direct control, utilizing contact inputs that freely compare to genuine activities, such as swiping, tapping, squeezing, and switch squeezing to control on-screen objects, alongside a virtual console. Game controllers and full-estimate physical consoles are upheld by means of Bluetooth or USB. The reaction to client information is intended to be quick and gives a liquid touch interface, regularly utilizing the vibration abilities of the gadget to give haptic input to the client. Inner equipment, for example, accelerometers, whirligigs and nearness sensors are utilized by certain applications to react to extra client activities, for instance modifying the screen from picture to scene contingent upon how the gadget is arranged, or enabling the client to direct a vehicle in a hustling game by turning the gadget, reproducing control of a controlling wheel.

Android gadgets boot to the homescreen, the essential route and data "center point" on Android gadgets, closely resembling the work area found on PCs. Android homescreens are commonly comprised of application symbols and gadgets; application symbols dispatch the related application, while gadgets show live, auto-refreshing substance, for example, a climate estimate, the client's email inbox, or a news ticker legitimately on the homescreen. A homescreen might be comprised of a few pages, between which the client can swipe forward and backward. Outsider applications accessible on Google Play and other application stores can widely re-topic the homescreen, and even copy the appearance of other working frameworks, for example, Windows Phone. Most makers alter the look and highlights of their Android gadgets to separate themselves from their rivals.

Along the highest point of the screen is a status bar, appearing about the gadget and its network. This status bar can be "pulled" down to uncover a notice screen where applications show significant data or updates. Warnings are "short, opportune, and pertinent data about your application when it's not being used", and when tapped, clients are coordinated to a screen inside the application identifying with the notice. Starting with Android 4.1 "Jam Bean", "expandable warnings" enable the client to tap a symbol on the notice with the end goal for it to extend and show more data and conceivable application activities directly from the notice.

An All Apps screen records all introduced applications, with the capacity for clients to drag an application from the rundown onto the home screen. A Recents screen gives clients a chance to switch between as of late utilized applications.

Applications

("Applications"), which broaden the usefulness of gadgets, are composed utilizing the Android programming improvement unit (SDK) and, regularly, the Java programming language. Java might be joined with C/C++, together with a decision of non-default runtimes that permit better C++ support. The Go programming language is likewise bolstered, despite the fact that with a constrained arrangement of use programming interfaces (API). In May 2017, Google reported help for Android application advancement in the Kotlin programming language.

The SDK incorporates an extensive arrangement of advancement devices, including a debugger, programming libraries, a handset emulator dependent on QEMU, documentation, test code, and instructional exercises. At first, Google's bolstered incorporated improvement condition (IDE) was Eclipse utilizing the Android Development Tools (ADT) module; in December 2014, Google discharged Android Studio, in view of IntelliJ IDEA, as its essential IDE for Android application advancement. Other advancement instruments are accessible, including a local improvement unit (NDK) for applications or augmentations in C or C++, Google App Inventor, a visual situation for tenderfoot software engineers, and different cross stage versatile web applications structures. In January 2014, Google disclosed a structure dependent on Apache Cordova for porting Chrome HTML 5 web applications to Android, enclosed by a local application shell.

Android hosts a developing determination of third-get-together applications, which can be gained by clients by downloading and introducing the application's APK (Android application bundle) document, or by downloading them utilizing an application store program that enables clients to introduce, update, and expel applications from their gadgets. Google Play Store is the essential application store introduced on Android gadgets that consent to Google's similarity necessities and permit the Google Mobile Services programming. Google Play Store enables clients to peruse, download and update applications distributed by Google and outsider engineers; starting at July 2013, there are more than one million applications accessible for Android in Play Store. Starting at July 2013, 50 billion applications have been introduced. A few bearers offer direct transporter charging for Google Play application buys, where the expense of the application is added to the client's month to month bill. As of May 2017, there are more than one billion dynamic clients a month for Gmail, Android, Chrome, Google Play and Maps.
