1Understanding Android
1 Understanding Android In mobile device terms, the word Android can refer to either an Android device or to the Android operating system. In very simple terms, an Android device is any device that runs the Android operat- ing system. You might also encounter androids from science fiction films and books, which are robots that resemble people, but that’s not the type of Android I discuss in this book. You don’t need to understand what Android is or how it works to use it. You can simply turn your device on and start pressing buttons and tapping icons and you’ll probably get along just fine. That approach worked just fine for my 3-year-old daughter; she figured it out pretty quickly, much to my dismay. But in case you want a small peek behind the Android curtain, this chapter is for you . Introducing the Android Operating System Android is the operating system that powers all Android devices. Much like how the Windows operating system powers laptop and desktop computers, or Apple’s iOS (formerly known as the iPhone OS) powers iPhones and iPads. Think of it as the underlying software that instructs your device what to do. When you install an Android app onto an Android device, you are installing an app that was written spe- cifically for the Android operating system. You can’t install a Windows app on an Android device, and you can’t install an Android app onto a Windows computer. Actually, that last part isn’t exactly true. You actually can install Android apps onto a Windows computer — and even on Macs and Linux PCs, for that matter — but only if the computer is running a special piece of software called an Android emulator, which creates a virtual Android device on your computer.

Lexical Borrowings in the Colombian Online Newspaper El Tiempo from 1990 to 2012
LEXICAL BORROWINGS IN THE COLOMBIAN ONLINE NEWSPAPER EL TIEMPO FROM 1990 TO 2012 by LORENA GÓMEZ MICHAEL PICONE, COMMITTEE CHAIR ERIN O’ROURKE ALICIA CIPRIA DILIN LIU DOUGLAS LIGHTFOOT A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the department of Modern Languages and Classics in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2012 Copyright Lorena Gómez 2012 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This study examined the introduction, adaptation, usage, and acceptance of lexical borrowings in the Colombian online newspaper El Tiempo from 1990 to 2012. While building on the foundation of prior research of sociolinguistic orientation on languages in contact, this study also included innovative approaches: the texts analyzed incorporate not only articles by El Tiempo journalists, but also the comments of bloggers linked to the newspaper’s site; online interviews were conducted with journalists and bloggers alike in an effort to determine their attitudes and motivations in relation to their vocabulary choices; and pronunciation patterns in relation to borrowed words were analyzed in videos from ET Canal El Tiempo. Contrary to the research questions posited at the outset, differences between the language of professional journalists and the language of the at-large bloggers proved to be minimal. The research found that there was a prescriptive tendency among journalists and bloggers alike to look for linguistic correctness and that their linguistic decisions were highly influenced by the guidelines from the Real Academia de la Lengua (RAE). When tracking and analyzing the different lexical choices and their relative frequencies in the writing of these two groups, no definite pattern surfaced, but only weak tendencies.

Good Technology Device Activations Report
Good Technology Device Activations Report Q1 2011 Verizon iPhone 4 Launch Boosts iPhone Enterprise Adoption, Tablet Momentum Continues Page 1 Copyright 2011 Good Technology Executive Summary In Good Technology’s Q1 2011 metrics report, we take a look at the mobile devices activated by Good Technology’s enterprise customers over the first quarter of 2011. Much noise has been made about Android’s overall smartphone market share growth and we still expect Android smartphone activations by Good’s customers to overtake iPhone activations over the course of 2011; however, it’s clear that Verizon’s launch of the iPhone 4 and AT&T’s subsequent iPhone 3GS price reduction significantly boosted overall iPhone activations by Good’s customers in Q1. Apple’s move to allow Verizon to carry its iPhone 4 resulted in the highest rate of activation (16.9 percent) for any new device since Good Technology has been publicly tracking and publishing reports (since calendar Q3 2010). Tablet activations remained strong in Q1, ranging between 18 percent and 23 percent of all device activations. This was driven by continued adoption of the original iPad and the release of the new iPad 2 in March. February’s dip in iPad activations can be attributed to the anticipated availability of the iPad 2, which became available for purchase on March 11. Motorola Xoom was the most popular Android tablet, breaking through with more than 1 one percent of all activations for the first time ever. Calendar Q2 should shed more light on tablet market trends given that iPad 2 and Xoom were launched late in Q1 and many more tablets based on the latest Android Honeycomb OS are expected to launch throughout Q2.

Android Development Based on Linux Rohan Veer1, Rushikesh Patil2, Abhishek Mhatre3, Prof
Vol-4 Issue-5 2018 IJARIIE-ISSN(O)-2395-4396 Android Development based on Linux Rohan Veer1, Rushikesh Patil2, Abhishek Mhatre3, Prof. Shobhana Gaikwad4 1 Student, Computer Technology, Bharati Vidyapeeth Institute of Technology, Maharashtra, India 2 Student, Computer Technology, Bharati Vidyapeeth Institute of Technology, Maharashtra, India 3 Student, Computer Technology, Bharati Vidyapeeth Institute of Technology, Maharashtra, India 4 Professor, Computer Technology, Bharati Vidyapeeth Institute of Technology, Maharashtra, India ABSTRACT Android software development is used to produce apps for mobile devices that includes an OS (Operating System) and various applications. It can be used to make video applications, music applications, games, editing software etc. The android operating system was showcased by Google after which android development started. The Google initially released the android operating system on 23th September 2008.Google hired some developers and started building applications which started app development and fast production of android applications. The applications and operating system for android are written in Java as the android is based on Linux so it was difficult at the start to write programs for android. But as the technical skills were improving to debug an application so it became easier for developers to solve the issues and debug the errors in the applications. The first android operating system was able to perform some basic task like messaging, calling, downloading some specific applications etc. After that Google released various versions of android operating system with newly added features and design. With every new version of android speed of device and user experience were getting much better in day to day life.
