What is an Android SDK ?

The Android software development kit (SDK) includes everything that need to start developing, testing and debugging Android applications.
SDK includes :
  • Android API's : They provide developer access to the Android Stack.
  • Development Tools : These allow us to compile and debug android applications
  • Android Virtual Machine (AVD) Manager and Emulator : The Android Emulator is a fully interactive Android device emulator featuring several alternatives skins. The emulator runs within an Android Virtual Device that simulates the device hardware configuration.
  • Full documentation : SDK includes extensive code - level reference information detailing exactly what's included in each package and class and how to use them.

So, if I have: Foo myFoo = new Foo (); // 1 callBar ( myFoo ); // 2 myFoo . doSomething () // 4 void callBar ( Foo foo ) { foo = new Foo (); ...
