{"wikiid":88267,"langid":"en","namespace":"CATEGORY","title":"Android","revisionid":1376795,"contents_raw":"== Background Information ==\n\nAndroid is a mobile operating system developed primarily by Google and the Open Handset Alliance and is based on a modified version of the [[Topic:Linux|Linux kernel]]. The operating system is open-source software and is designed primarily for touchscreen devices like smartphones and tablets, but it is also utilized in other devices like smart TVs, smartwatches, and automotive infotainment systems.\n\nWhile most versions of Android are proprietary, the core Android components are taken from the Android Open Source Project, a free and open-source software licensed under the Apache License.\n\n== History ==\n\nAndroid was originally developed by Android, Inc., a company founded in 2003. In 2005, Google acquired Android, Inc., and started collaborating with various technology companies to develop an open-source mobile operating system. The first commercial version of Android, Android 1.0, was released in September 2008. Since then, Google has continued to release regular updates, introducing new features and improvements with each iteration of Android.\n\n== Core Features ==\n\n* ***User Interface:*** Android offers a flexible and customizable user interface, allowing users to personalize their devices with different themes, wallpapers, and home screen layouts. It supports various input methods, including touch gestures, voice commands, and virtual keyboards.\n* ***App Ecosystem:*** One of the key strengths of Android is its extensive app ecosystem. Users can access millions of applications through the Google Play Store, offering a wide range of categories such as productivity, entertainment, social media, gaming, and more.\n* ***Google Integration:*** As a product of Google, Android seamlessly integrates with Google services such as Google Search, Google Maps, Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos. This integration allows users to sync data across devices and access a unified experience within the Google ecosystem.\n* ***Multitasking and Notification Center:*** Android provides robust multitasking capabilities, allowing users to run multiple apps simultaneously and switch between them effortlessly. The notification center provides quick access to alerts, messages, and other notifications, ensuring users stay informed without interrupting their workflow.\n* ***Customization Options:*** Android offers a high degree of customization, allowing users to personalize their devices to suit their preferences. This includes the ability to install custom launchers, widgets, and themes, enabling a unique and tailored user experience.\n* ***Open-Source Nature:*** Android is based on the Linux kernel and is developed as an open-source project. This means that the source code is available to the public, encouraging collaboration and allowing device manufacturers and developers to modify and customize Android to suit their specific needs.\n\n== Versions ==\n\nGoogle regularly releases major updates and security patches to improve the functionality, performance, and security of the Android Operating System. These updates are delivered over-the-air (OTA) to compatible devices.\n\nGoogle famously named Android versions after sweets, such as \"Cupcake\" for v1.5, until the release of Android 10. However, starting with Android 11, Google moved away from this naming scheme and began using numbers instead. The company stated that this change was to make the version names clearer and more accessible to a global audience. These codenames are now used only internally within Google.\n\n{table\n|width=100%\n|format=m:m:m:m:m:m:m:m:m\n|! Name\n|! Internal codename\n|! Version Number(s)\n|! API level\n|!

These updates are delivered over-the-air (OTA) to compatible devices.<\/p>\n\n<p>Google famously named Android versions after sweets, such as &quot;Cupcake&quot; for v1.5, until the release of Android 10. However, starting with Android 11, Google moved away from this naming scheme and began using numbers instead. The company stated that this change was to make the version names clearer and more accessible to a global audience. These codenames are now used only internally within Google.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"table-container\"><div class=\"table-overflow\"><table style=\"width:100%\" class=\"table table-bordered
