3. Android Runtime

4. Application Framework

5. Applications

1) Linux Kernel:- Linux kernel interacts with all hardware components and contains all the essential hardware drivers, power management, memory management, device management and resource access. It exists at the root of Android Architecture.

2) Native Libraries:- Native Libraries layer exists above Linux Kernel that enables the android device to handle different type of data. Used C and C++ language to written Native Libraries.
