文章标签：移动开发 runtime

本文档提供了Android核心技术和组件的详细信息，包括Android运行时（ART）、配置调整、数据使用管理、调试技巧、设备管理API、硬件抽象层（HAL）文件、OTA更新流程及电力管理等方面的内容，旨在帮助开发者更好地理解并利用这些底层技术。

Android Core Technologies

Welcome to the Android core technologies section of the site. Here you can find information on common features useful to people and organizations who are looking to modify, contribute to, or port the Android software. This is "under the hood" information intended for engineers.

ART and Dalvik

The Android runtime (ART) is the heart of Android. It's a fast, ahead-of-time compiled runtime with modern garbage collection designed to scale. Android applications are compiled to Dalvik bytecode and run with ART. This section includes detailed information such as the Dalvik Executable format specification, and design information on the runtime itself.
