Android Application Development

Since the launch of Android, we have experienced a lot of change in the mobile development space. Besides the increasing number of Android phones, we have seen a steady growth in Android application development.

Android developers use the Google Android SDK to build their apps which can run on all Android devices. Android is a product of Open Handset Alliance which allows Android Developers to build applications using Java programming language. Also the rich audio / video support available in this platform has taken Android application development to the next level.

Android Development Talk attempts to bring the latest news and updates in Android development and promises to be a useful resource for all Android developers and users.
