The Android operating system

Android is an operating system based on the Linux kernel. The project responsible for developing the Android system is called theAndroid Open Source Project (AOSP) and is primarily lead by Google.

The Android system supports background processing, provides a rich user interface library, supports 2-D and 3-D graphics using the OpenGL-ES (short OpenGL) standard and grants access to the file system as well as an embedded SQLite database.

An Android application typically consists of different visual and non visual components and can reuse components of other applications.
