  • Android Developers Can Seize the Day in Wearable Devices
    Serving the 21st Century Design Engineer Android Developers Can Seize the Day in Wearable Devices Renjith Ponnappan, eInfochips 11/26/2013 In the movie Dead Poets Society, Robin Williams whispers to his students, "Carpe diem," or "Seize the day." Today, Android device developers around the world are planning to incorporate new Android KitKat technology into wearable devices and seize their share of this lucrative new market. Developers are also wrestling with how to support their product lines while designing a completely new class of products. Wearable devices are pouring into the market with huge investments from cash-rich VCs such as Legend Capital, and with development assistance from resource-rich vendors such as Google, Intel, and Baidu. Recent big bets include $43 million in financing for wearable device company FitBit, Legend Capital's funding of Zepp Lab, and an investment by Intel in the ski glass pioneer Recon. On the development side, Intel started a New Device group led by a designer who worked on the popular Nike FuelBand, and Baidu has launched a site featuring wearable devices using its mobile operating system called Baidu Cloud. Driving the investments are forecasts for huge market demand. According to a Juniper Research report (subscription required), revenue from wearable industry sales will reach $19 billion in 2018 -- more than 13 times the $1.4 billion expected this year. World of Wearable Technology Applications Function with Style Serving the 21st Century Design Engineer KitKat is a wearable device watershed Until now, Android operating system (OS) technology wasn't optimized for small, low-power wearable devices.

    Journal of Software Exploring the Prevalence and Evolution of Android Concerns: A Community Viewpoint Sherlock A. Licorish* Department of Information Science, University of Otago, PO Box 56, Dunedin 9054, New Zealand. Manuscript submitted May 3, 2016; accepted August 12, 2016. * Corresponding author. Tel.: 64 3 479 8319; email: [email protected] doi: 10.17706/jsw.11.9.848-869 Abstract: In line with growing awareness of the need for systems to adapt quickly to change, there has been increasing interest in the evolution of software systems. Research has particularly considered developer-led activities change over time. Comparatively less consideration has been given to the study of software evolution as driven by the wider community of stakeholders. Although, a project’s wider community is central to the feedback system and project success. We have contributed to such efforts and studied the evolution of architecture issues and non-functional requirements in the Android project, as identified by the wider Android community1. We mined the Android issues tracker, employing n-gram analysis in our examination of 21,547 issues. We observe that most architecture-related issues were located in Android application layer, and these issues increased with time. Additionally, usability-related concerns were reported most when they were held to be given greatest attention. Outcomes suggests that Android’s open model and shared ownership have positively impacted Google’s success, which could provide a useful lesson for other similar projects. Key words: Android, android architecture, android non-functional requirements, software evolution, data mining and N-gram analysis. 1. Introduction A large body of research has been directed to understanding various aspects of the software development process (as performed by humans), and particularly, how systems evolve.

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.
