Android is an operating system that is very frugal because it has been successfully used on electronic devices such as phones, clocks, tvs, laptops, tablets and even in modern cars you will also find android.
This means if you have dreams of becoming an android developer then you are not wrong in making decisions because android is a system that is used all over the world and continues to grow at a rapid rate and spread across many electronic devices.
To be able to create an Android app then you need to know Java as well as XML (Extensible Markup Language). Most of us if we only hear Java then we become discouraged. But you need not fear because Google is trying every day to simplify the development of the android app.
Google also has a website that provides training on how to create an android app as well as many examples that will help you develop your app. You can visit that website by using the link below

Today we will look at the things needed to make android apps:

1. COMPUTER
In order to create an android app you need a computer that has the following capabilities or features.


If you have a windows computer then make sure your computer has the above features. Also if you have Mac and linux then make sure it has all the same parameters above.

2. ANDROID STUDIO APP



Android Studio is a program that uses it as an IDE (integrated development environment). It means that the whole process of developing an android app, testing it and even installing it in the playstore will take place in the android studio. Also all the testing activities for your app are done inside the android studio.
Using android studio you will be able to create mobile apps, clocks, android auto as well as android Tv. Android Studio has been developed by Google to simplify android app design activities. You can download android studio using the link below then install it on your computer

3. JavaSe (Java Development Kit)



programming language that is used to create the Android app is Oracle's Java SE. Java SE was developed by Sun Microsystems and later purchased by Oracle.
There are three types of Java. There is Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) which is used on a large computer network. Then there's Java ME (Java Micro Edition) which is used to create a mobile application. Java SE is more powerful than Java ME and is the one used by Google to create Android Os.
To install JavaSe (Java Development Kit) on your computer you must visit the link below and click on the download section. Make sure you download and install JavaSe (Java Development Kit) because otherwise you will not be able to create android app.

Welcome to the world of Programmers, by Developer Mpemba







The Android system is one of the most widely used phone systems in the world, now owned by Google and last year 10 years since its official launch.
Now in this 10 years of the introduction of Android let me give you a little history of this system which is now the most widely used on popular smartphones like smartphone. To begin with, let's start in 2005 when this year Google bought the company Inc. Inc. which was the developer of the system.

The Android Inc. company was led by Andy Ruby, Rich Miner, and Nick Sears who are the founders and creators of this system. Google company successfully bought Android Inc. for an estimated US $ 50 Million dollar equivalent of Tsh 1.14 billion. In addition to that amount, according to the venturebeat website it is said that Google's company spent more than $ 130 million to complete the acquisition of the Android Inc. company.
After Google successfully acquired the emerging company of Android Inc., in 2007 Google company officially announced the launch of the official system for various users. To achieve this the first Android-based phone was officially launched on September 23, 2008 by a joint venture by three Google companies, T-Mobile, and HTC.

HTC Dream or G1 is the name of that first phone that used the same Android system for the first time, this phone if you are a fan then you must somehow remember this phone. HTC Dream or G1 came with Android 1.6 (Donut) system, this phone was sold for between US $ 179 to $ 399 and was officially sold by T Mobile.

This HTC Dream or G1 phone had a 3.2-inch screen that was specially designed with a TFT capacitive touchscreen technology capable of displaying 65 thousand colors.
This phone was also using a Qualcomm MSM7201A processor that had a power of 528 MHz as well as an Adreno 130 GPU. In terms of internal size this phone had an internal size of 256 MB with the help of 19 MB RAM. This phone was capable of reading a memory card up to 16 GB.
On the camera side this phone had only one rear camera with a Megapixel 3.15 that had autofocus technology, as well as video recording capabilities. This phone's battery was very small with a Li-Ion 1150 mAh capacity with only 5 hours of charging capacity.

After the launch of this phone they kept coming in other phones like Motorola Droid, HTC Droid Eris, Samsung Look II and HTC Nexus One which was launched in 2010.
In short, Android is currently very big, up to 2017 Android had held 87 percent of smart mobile operating systems. Of course these percentages continue to climb every day considering now we are on the recently launched Android 9 Pie system. The Android system currently runs on various devices such as computers, Automotive Radio, TV, as well as various electronic devices.
