Android is becoming one of the most used Mobile operating system these days. Android is found on mobile phones, tablets and other devices as well. It has a tough competition with iOS Devices and Windows Phones, but in my opinion, Android is a lot widely used as compared to other mobile operating systems. There are various ways of developing Android Applications though we will try to focus on the Native style of Application development, which is considered to be the best by a lot of web sources.
