It’s All Right There!
So far, you have learned about the Linux kernel. And also, have been introduced to the many many helpful libraries.
You might be wondering, “Well, that’s all nice and well, but how do I as a developer access all these libraries?”
It’s simple: All these open source frameworks are available to you via Android SDK.
You don’t have to worry about how Android interacts with SQLite and the Surface Manager; you use them as tools in your Android tool belt.
It’s All Right There!
The Android team has built on a known set of proven libraries, built in the background, and has made them all available to you, through Android interfaces.
These interfaces wrap up the various libraries and make them useful to the Android platform and to you as a developer.
You benefit from these features because you don’t have to build any of the functionality they provide.
The Helpful Interfaces
Some of these interfaces include:
Activity Manager: Manages the activity lifecycle.
Telephony Manager: Provides access to telephony services as well as to certain subscriber information, such as phone numbers.
View System: Handles the views and layouts that make up your user interface (UI).
Location Manager: Finds the device’s geographic location.
