Introduction
Android is a mobile operating system (OS) based
on the Linux kernel and currently developed by
Google. With a user interface based on direct
manipulation, Android is designed primarily for
touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones
and tablet computers, with specialized user
interfaces for televisions (Android TV), cars
(Android Auto), and wrist watches (Android Wear).
The OS uses touch inputs that loosely correspond
to real-world actions, like swiping, tapping,
pinching, and reverse pinching to manipulate
on-screen objects, and a virtual keyboard.
Despite being primarily designed for touchscreen
input, it also has been used in game consoles,
digital cameras, regular PCs (e.g. the HP Slate
21) and other electronics.

Android is Open Source
Android is an open-source software stack for a
wide range of mobile devices and a corresponding
open-source project led by Google. Here you can
find the information and source code you need to
learn more about the Android platform. From there
you can create custom variants of the Android
software stack, port devices and accessories to
the Android platform, and ensure your devices are
compatible with the Android compatibility
definition.

Why Android Operating System is Better Than
IOS Operating System
Google's Android and Apple's iOS are operating
systems used primarily in mobile technology, such
as smartphones and tablets. Android, which
is Linux-based and partly open source, is
more PC-like than iOS, in that its interface and
basic features are generally more customizable
from top to bottom. However, iOS' uniform design
elements are sometimes seen as being more
user-friendly.
