CHAPTER II BASIC THEORY

Android, Inc. was founded in Palo Alto, California, United States in

October, 2003 by Andy Rubin, Rich Miner, Nick Sears, and Chris White to

develop. Google acquired Android Inc. in August 2005, making Android Inc. a

wholly owned subsidiary of Google Inc. Key employees of Android Inc.,

including Andy Rubin, Rich Miner and Chris White, stayed at the company after

the acquisition.

Not much was known about Android Inc. at the time of the acquisition, but

many assumed that Google was planning to enter the mobile phone market with

this move.

Version history

Android has seen a number of updates since its original release, each

fixing bugs and adding new features. Each version is named, in alphabetical order,

after a desser.

Recent releases 2.0 Eclair included a new web browser, with a new user interface and support

for HTML5 and the W3C Geolocation API. It also included an enhanced

camera app with features like digital zoom, flash, color effects, and more.

2.1 Eclair included support for voice controls throughout the entire OS. Italso included a new launcher, with 5 homescreens instead of 3, animated

backgrounds, and a button to open the menu (instead of a slider). It also

included a new weather app, and improved functionality in the Email and

Phonebook apps.

2.2 Froyo introduced speed improvements with JIT optimization andthe Chrome V8 JavaScript engine, and added Wi-Fi hotspot tethering and

Adobe Flash support.

2.3 Gingerbread refined the user interface, improved the soft keyboard andcopy/paste features, SIP support (VoIP calls), and added support for Near

Field Communication.

3.0 Honeycomb was a tablet-oriented release which supports larger screendevices and introduces many new user interface features, and supports

multicore processors and hardware acceleration for graphics. The Honeycomb

SDK has been released and the first device featuring this version,

the Motorola Xoom tablet, went on sale in February 2011.

CHAPTER III PROBLEM ANALYSIS

III.1 Android 3.2 Platform

Android 3.2 is an incremental platform release that adds new capabilities

for users and developers. The sections below provide an overview of the new

features and developer APIs.

For developers, the Android 3.2 platform is available as a downloadable

component for the Android SDK. The downloadable platform includes an

Android library and system image, as well as a set of emulator skins and more.

The downloadable platform includes no external libraries.

To get started developing or testing against Android 3.2, use the Android

SDK Manager to download the platform into your SDK. For more information,

see Adding SDK Components. If you are new to Android, download the SDK

Starter Package first.

Adding and updating components in your Android SDK is fast and easy. To add

or update the individual SDK components that you need, use theAndroid SDK

and AVD Manager(included in the SDK Tools).

It only takes a couple of clicks to install individual versions of the Android

platform, new development tools, new documentation, and SDK add-ons. Thenew SDK components are automatically installed into your existing SDK

directory, so you don't need to update your development environment to specify a

new SDK location.

If you're setting up your Android SDK for the first time, see Installing the

SDK for information about what components to install.

Figure 1.1 The Android SDK and AVD Manager's Available Packages Panel (REF:

http://developer.android.com./sdk/adding-components.html)

III.2 Launching the Android SDK and AVD Manager

The Android SDK and AVD Manager is the tool that you use to install and

upgrade SDK components in your development environment. You can launch the

Android SDK and AVD Manager in one of the following ways.

Launching from Eclipse/ADT

If you are developing in Eclipse and have already installed the ADT

Plugin, follow these steps to access the Android SDK and AVD Manager tool:

1. Open Eclipse2. Select Window > Android SDK and AVD Manager.

Launching from the SDK Manager script (Windows only)

For Windows only, the SDK includes a script that invokes the Android

SDK and AVD Manager. To launch the tool using the script, double-click SDK

Manager.exe at the root of the the SDK directory.

Launching from a command line

In all development environments, follow these steps to access the Android

SDK and AVD Manager tool from the command line:

1. Navigate to the /tools/ directory.2. Execute the android tool command with no optionsIII.3 Installing SDK Components

Follow these steps to install new SDK components in your environment:

1. Launch the Android SDK and AVD Manager as described in the sectionabove.

2. Select Available Packages in the left panel. This will reveal all of thecomponents that are currently available for download from the SDK

repository.

3. Select the component(s) you'd like to install and click Install Selected.

8/4/2019 Paper Isas

9/14

9

4. Verify and accept the components you want (ensure each one is selected witha green checkmark) and click Install. The components will now be installed

into your existing Android SDK directories.

New platforms are automatically saved into the /platforms/ directory

of your SDK; new add-ons are saved in the/add-ons/ directory; samples are

saved in the /samples/android-/; and new documentation is saved in

the existing /docs/ directory (old docs are replaced).

III.4 Updating SDK Components

From time to time, new revisions of existing SDK components are

released and made available to you through the SDK repository. In most cases, ifyou have those components installed in your environment, you will want to

download the new revisions as soon as possible.

You can learn about the release of new revisions in two ways:

You can watch for updates listed in the "SDK" tab of the Android Developerssite, in the "Downloadable SDK Components" section.

You can watch for updates listed in the Available Packages panel of theAndroid SDK and AVD Manager.

When you see that a new revision is available, you can use the AndroidSDK and AVD Manager to quickly download it to your environment. Follow the

same procedure as given in Installing SDK Components, above. The new

component is installed in place of the old, but without impacting your

applications.

SDK Component Dependencies

In some cases, an SDK component may require a specific minimum

revision of another component or SDK tool. Where such dependencies exist, they

are documented in the revision notes for each component, available from the linksin the "Downloadable SDK Components" section at left.

For example, there may be a dependency between the ADT Plugin for

Eclipse and the SDK Tools component. When you install the SDK Tools

component, you should also upgrade to the required version of ADT (if you are

developing in Eclipse). In this case, the major version number for your ADT

plugin should always match the revision number of your SDK Tools (for example,

ADT 8.x requires SDK Tools r8).

Also make sure that, each time you install a new version of the Android

platform, you have the latest version of the SDK Platform-tools component. The

SDK Platform-tools contain tools that are backward compatible with all versions

of the Android platform and are often updated to support new features in the latest

version of the Android platform.

The development tools will notify you with debug warnings if there is

dependency that you need to address. The SDK and AVD Manager also enforces

dependencies by requiring that you download any components that are needed by

those you have selected.

Adding New Sites

By default, Available Packages displays components available from

theAndroid Repository and Third party Add-ons. You can add other sites that host

their own Android SDK add-ons, then download the SDK add-ons from those

sites.

For example, a mobile carrier or device manufacturer might offer

additional API libraries that are supported by their own Android-powered devices.

In order to develop using their libraries, you must install their Android SDK add-

on, if it's not already available under Third party Add-ons.

If a carrier or device manufacturer has hosted an SDK add-on repositoryfile on their web site, follow these steps to add their site to the SDK and AVD

Manager:

1. Select Available Packages in the left panel.2. Click Add Add-on Site and enter the URL of the repository.xml file.

Click OK.

Any SDK components available from the site will now be listed under a new

item named User Add-ons.

Troubleshooting

If you are using the SDK and AVD Manager to download components and

are encountering connection problems, try connecting over http, rather than https.

To switch the protocol used by the SDK and AVD Manager, follow these steps:

1. With the Android SDK and AVD Manager window open, select "Settings" inthe left pane.

2. On the right, in the "Misc" section, check the checkbox labeled "Forcehttps://... sources to be fetched using http://..."

3. Click Save & Apply

Today we are announcing the Android 3.2 platform, an incremental release

that adds several new capabilities for users and developers. The new platform

includes API changes and the API level is 13.

Here are some of the highlights of Android 3.2:

Optimizations for a wider range of tablets. A variety of refinements across

the system ensure a great user experience on a wider range of tablet devices.

Compatibility zoom for fixed-sizedapps. A newcompatibility display

mode gives users a new way to view these apps on larger devices. The mode

provides a pixel-scaled alternative to the standard UI stretching, for apps that are

not designed to run on larger screen sizes.

MediasyncfromSD card. On devices that support a removable SD card, users

can now load media files directly from the SD card to apps that use them.

Extended screen support API. For developers who want more precise

control over their UI across the range of Android-powered devices, theplatforms

screen support API is extended with new resource qualifiers and manifest

attributes, to also allow targeting screens by their dimensions.

Acer lanched its android tablet Acer Iconia A500 in April 2011. Now,

Acer Iconia with Android 3.2 Honeycomb tablet is coming to Canada. The price

of this Acer Iconiawill cost $350 in Canada.

III.5 Android 3.2 vs. Android 3.0

The newest version of Android Honeycomb (3.2) has been released and it

is already available for download for tablets like the Motorola Xoom or Asus Eee

Pad Transformer. The 3.2 update was designed to work on 7-inch and 8.9-inch

tablets, so the newest 7-inch slates should come with this version on board.

Were already expecting the first such tablet to sport a 7-inch screen and

Android 3.2 the Huawei MediaPad, which is set to be released this fall. What

else does this new update feature and how does it look like compared to the older

3.0 and 3.1 versions?

First of all, the Honeycomb 3.2 version comes with a few enhancements

and optimizations. Its been designed to work on 7-inch tablets, as we mentioned

before, and it has another important added feature: it comes with Sync SD card

support, which allows you to load files from the SD card, without having to copy

them. This feature was not available until now so if you have a tablet with

Android 3.0 on board, be sure to download the latest update to 3.2.

Another important improvement is the zoom to fill option. This feature

enhances the way the apps which werent designed to work with Honeycomb look

like. This doesnt bring major enhancements to the image quality, only some

minor adjustments, meant to make the app look a little better, by stretching the

images.

The latest 3.2 version also comes with support for Adobe Flash 10.3, a

refined user interface, support for more devices, such as keyboards, mouses,

accessories, controllers, and such, resizable widgets and a customizable home

screen, an improved browser with support for more features, an improved e-mail

app, microSD card access support, and an extended screen support API.

The newest version of Honeycomb the Android 3.4 SDK is nowavailable for download, and it will come installed in the newest 7-inch tablets to

be released. The first one will be the Huawei MediaPad. Androids Ice Cream

Sandwich version (4.0), which is designed to work both on tablets and

smartphones, combining elements from the Gingerbread and Honeycomb

versions, will also become available soon, so were looking forward to see the

first devices which will feature these new operating systems.

CHAPTER IV CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

Conclusion

The new features of O.S Android 3.2 are boosting the API level to 13,optimizations for a wider range of tablets, compatibility zoom for fixed-

sized apps, extended screen support API.

The Android SDK and AVD Manager is the tool that you use to install andupgrade SDK components in your development environment.

The steps to access the Android SDK and AVD Manager tool: 1. OpenEclipse. 2. Select Window > Android SDK and AVD Manager.

The Honeycomb 3.2 version comes with a few enhancements andoptimizations. Its been designed to work on 7-inch tablets, as we

mentioned before, and it has another important added feature: it comes

with Sync SD card support, which allows you to load files from the SD

card, without having to copy them. This feature was not available until

now

Suggestion

It must be more optimalized, because O.S Android 3.2 is only used for 7-

inch and 8,9-inch tablets. It cant be operated optimally on 10-inch tablet.
