How Android Gives Developers the Tools to Succeed

From a developer’s standpoint, one of the best things about working with Android is that you do not have to rewrite new code with every application. There are all sorts of developer’s tools to make certain that your application runs its activity or activities well.

Let’s say you want an application that can take a picture, and then send that picture with a geotag location all across your social network. It’s simple if you are programming with Android. Well, actually, it’s not quite simple, but not as difficult as writing all of the programming code yourself.

Android has a lot of widgets—advanced UI elements—that you can use to make your application simple and user-friendly. All of this is done in a basic UI element called a view. There are also various other hardware tools that an Android developer should become familiar with in order to create applications that can do more. Examples of these tools include the camera, accelerometer, GPS radio, and proximity sensor.
