What Is Android Java?
Java is one of the core programming languages used in Android application development. It remains a strong, reliable choice for building apps that are scalable, maintainable and indeed compatible with a wide range of Android devices including phones, tablets and wearables.
As a language recommended by Google, Java is fully supported by the Android SDK and benefits from a vast global developer community. Its cross platform design follows the principle of “write once, run anywhere,” which minimises redundancy and reduces the need for repetitive bug fixes or patches. When properly implemented, an Android Java application can provide a stable, long lasting solution for years to come.
Why Is Java Used in Android App Development?
Java was originally designed to be platform independent enabling software to run on any device equipped with a Java Virtual Machine. This same principle has made it ideal for Android app development, where flexibility, reliability and scalability are of the utmost importance.
Some of the main advantages of Java include:
- Object oriented design that supports modular, reusable code
-
A large, active global developer base
-
Platform independence for cross device compatibility
-
A familiar C-style syntax that eases adoption amongst developers
Android App Development Architecture
Android applications typically follow a two-layer architecture - the UI Layer and the Data Layer.
The UI Layer is responsible for what users see and interact with comprising Activities and Fragments defined through XML layouts and controlled via Java classes. The Data Layer on the other hand, contains the app’s business logic and functional components, structured through well organised Java classes.
