Android has a growing selection of third party applications, which can be acquired by users either through an app store such as Google Play or the Amazon Appstore, or by downloading and installing the application's APK file from a third-party site.[39] The Play Store application allows users to browse, download and update apps published by Google and third-party developers, and is pre-installed on devices that comply with Google's compatibility requirements.[40] The app filters the list of available applications to those that are compatible with the user's device, and developers may restrict their applications to particular carriers or countries for business reasons.[41] Purchases of unwanted applications can be refunded within 15 minutes of the time of download,[42] and some carriers offer direct carrier billing for Google Play application purchases, where the cost of the application is added to the user's monthly bill.[43] As of September 2012, there were more than 675,000 apps available for Android, and the estimated number of applications downloaded from the Play Store was 25 billion.[44]
Applications are developed in the Java language using the Android software development kit (SDK). The SDK includes a comprehensive set of development tools,[45] including a debugger, software libraries, a handset emulator based on QEMU, _________________ medicine coupons |
