SDK (Software Entwicklung Bausatz) – a set of necessary components that allows developers to create programs for different platforms. It is a special library with all the components, simplifying the development of a specific application. Novice programmers and professionals in the field of software development use mobile SDK.
Wenn wir über Android-Telefone sprechen, ist die beliebteste Plattform das Android Software Development Kit. Die in diesem Kit enthaltenen Komponenten sind für fast jeden Smartphone-Nutzer nützlich, nicht nur für Entwickler. Zum Beispiel interagieren ADB und Fastboot direkt mit dem Gerät.
The Android Software development kit can be used for testing applications, getting root rights, copying and moving files, creating backups, and even unlocking the bootloader. If you decide to use this development tool, you can download it along with the Android Studio package. Only at the installation stage, leave a checkmark next to “Android SDK” to avoid downloading unnecessary components.
And if you need to work, for example, only ADB, such a tool can be downloaded separately. You don’t need to install the entire Android SDK if you use only one or two of all the components.
