Programming with Google Android and Eclipse
Android is an operating system based on Linux with a Java programming interface. It provides tools, e.g. a compiler, debugger and a device emulator as well as its own Java Virtual machine (Dalvik).
Android is created by the Open Handset Alliance which is lead by Google.
Android uses a special Java virtual machine (Dalvik) which is based on the Apache Harmony Java implementation. Dalvik uses a special Bytecode so that you have to use the Android compiler to create this special byte-code.
Android supports 2-D and 3-D graphics using the OpenGL libraries and supports data storage in a SQLLite database.
For development Google provides the Android Development Tools (ADT) for Eclipse to develop Android applications.
