The Android SDK has become the most well-known development tool nowadays for mobile app development. Android is a Linux based
operating system designed mainly for touch screen PDAs, mobile devices
and tablet devices. It is developed by Google Inc. and it is an open
source platform.
Today, more than 40% of the total mobile market is covered by Android
OS and the major reason behind its popularity is availability of
thousands of apps on the Android App Store. Android SDK by Google is an
open source development kit for Android app development and it includes
sample projects with source code for understanding different kinds of
programming techniques, development tools, an emulator and some

Programming language and they run on DALVIK – a customized virtual
machine designed for embedded use. Few benefits of Android SDK includes –
- Android SDK includes a Droid emulator that helps developers and programmers to test the functionalities of the apps and debug the errors in them.
