SDK (Logiciel développement kit) – 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.
Si nous parlons de téléphones Android, la plateforme la plus populaire est le kit de développement logiciel Android. Les composants inclus dans ce kit seront utiles à presque tous les utilisateurs de smartphones, et pas seulement aux développeurs. Par exemple, ADB et Fastboot interagissent directement avec l'appareil.
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.
