==What is Android?==
Android is a mobile operating system (OS) based on the Linux kernel and currently developed by Google. With a user interface based on direct manipulation, Android is designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers, with specialized user interfaces for televisions (Android TV), cars (Android Auto), and wrist watches (Android Wear). 
Android is popular with technology companies which require a ready-made, low-cost and customizable operating system for high-tech devices.[25]Android's ''open nature'' has encouraged a large community of developers and enthusiasts to use the open-source code as a foundation for community-driven projects, which add new features for advanced users[26] or bring Android to devices which were officially released running other operating systems.
