Android Project Creation

-
Although Android Project Creation is very easy if we use any IDE for it like Eclipse. But Before that we must know about android SDK installation. First of all we need to install a Android SDK package from Google. after the installation of this package, we need to make selection of which version you want to use Eclair, Froyo,Gingerbread,Honeycomb or Ice-Cream Sandwich.
You can easily get the configuration details related with Eclipse easily on the web. But i am going to tell you creation of Project using Command Line

First of all we need to do following configurations in System's Environment Variables:

Go To -> My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced , then Click on Button Environment Variables, then a New Dialog Window Will appear. Now Under the System Variables title look for path. Double Click on it and enter the following things in value. Values are Separated by semicolons. Apache ANT location may Vary but Android SDK should be in the C:\ Drive only.


 1) C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools
 2) C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
 3) D:\apache-ant-1.8.2\bin

Now to create New Android Project Go to command line and type :

android create project
 -n <your_project_name>  
-t <target_ID>   
-p path/to/your/project  
 -k <your_package_namespace>
-a <your_activity_name>
it will automatically create respective directories. the Directory Structure
 of Android will be as Follows:
 
Suppose Project name is Calculator and root directory of project is Android , then ->

Android Project Compilation,Debugging and Execution   So I will give you detailed description about this diagram . 1) First of all every Android project must have one Auto-Generated file R.java . This file contains a List of All the attributes we have used in our android Project and a Corresponding Hexadecimal Value. It also contains a Hexadecimal value of main(layout) and app_name(string) . We can find this file in Project_Name/gen/package_name/R.java. This file shouldn't be removed otherwise an Android Project will not Work. 2) Secondly, this R.java file along with Application Source Code(.java Files) and Java Interfaces and alternatively .aidl files(Android Interface Definition File) are compiled with JAVA Compiler to create Class Files(Object Code). 3) After compilation step, a .dex file is created tha

Android Architecture   So The Picture Shown Above Briefly describes the architecture of Android. 1) O n the Bottom Level, Linux kernel Provides the necessary Configurations and drivers and overall Management required for running android OS. Like Display driver keeps track of Resolution, Per Pixel Intensity (PPI). Camera Driver keeps track of Camera Settings like Picture Resolution, Effects etc. Flash Memory Driver takes into account of Flash Memory like ROM(for installation of OS), RAM(for Smooth Multitasking) and SD card(for storage and installation of Applications). IPC(Inter-process Communication) Diver is necessary for communication between the processes for example: you want to play an audio, then Music player process has to communicate with the Audio driver process. Keypad Driver takes care of Virtual Keypad that is used to type the data that you want to send in a Message or E-Mail. Next is WI-Fi(Wireless Fidelity) Driver that keeps track of Wireless Devices in
