The Android application development is the process of creating new applications for the Android OS. Applications are usually developed in Java, making use of the Android Software Development Kit. In the past few years, about 200,000 Android applications have been developed by developers to make Android phones smarter with wider features. Android development has led to the booming of new applications that the customers can use for their daily purposes, helping them with household activities to handling businesses. Google initially helped in the development of Android, and after that, it revealed the Open Handset Alliance, which was a consortium of about 86 hardware companies. Since 2010 the Android has become the leading smartphone platform for users in comparison to Symbian and IOS.
Android OS is in many ways better than Symbian and iOS.
Better User Interface
Unlike the iPhone OS, the Android user interface has been continuously developing and improving over the years. With Android 4.0, Google has made the user interface much more innovative and elegant. The prime feature of the OS is navigation buttons, which make it easier for the user to navigate around the phone. Unlike the iPhone, with only one navigation button (Home Button), Android phones have back, menu, and multitasking buttons, which provide a better user interface, thus making Android more user-friendly.

More applications
Android is developed by Google, which supports almost 500000 applications instead Symbian is developed by Nokia, which is embedded with limited applications, as it makes them dependent on Nokia. Android gives the experience of Google Calendar, Google Earth, Google Voice, Google Translate, Blogger, and Chrome. With the increase in the flow of applications in the market, Android comes with the perfect blend of these applications for users’ convenience. Symbian and iOS have limited applications, confining their use.

In Symbian OS, you can never change the firmware, but in Android OS, you can change it any time you want and easily install updates, allowing you to use more applications.
6. Multiple-screen keyboards
In Android, you can change the screen keyboards the easy way, and apart from this, you can install Gingerbread to Froyo and from Swype to Honeycomb.

The Android applications come with such a framework that provides all key APIs, including things like accessing the telephony system, sharing and receiving data, and notifications. Symbian and iOS do not provide you with a multi-tasking system.

The Android OS works on Linux, which provides large things like virtual memory and power management. The Androids are designed with rich and customizable content, allowing users to go through live application content through interactive widgets. This also helps store more data than Symbian and iOS.
10. New Platform Developer Kit
The “Platform Developer Kit” is a brilliant move by Google, considering its large manufacturer and partner base. You don’t often think of hardware as something that can be “opened.” Still, the ability to institute the fundamental aspects of Android with one simple kit will make it much easier for hardware companies to start building on new versions of the platform.
