Evolution Of Android
Android 1.0 - 2008
On September 23, 2008, the first commercial version of Android, known as Android 1.0, was released. Android 1.0 was released to the public in 2008, and it was so old that it didn't even have a catchy codename.
Android 1.0 introduced capabilities such as an internet browser, camera, Gmail synchronization with the Gmail application, YouTube, Google Maps, and Calendar synchronization, despite being the initial version.
Android 1.5 Cupcake - 2009
The first major Android upgrade got a new version number and was also the first to employ Google's dessert-themed naming scheme. Cupcake was notably the first Android version to include an on-screen keyboard. Manufacturers had to include physical keyboards on their devices before that.
Widgets were supported in earlier versions of Android, but third-party developers couldn't create and implement them. With Cupcake, Google made the widgets SDK available to third-party developers. Before Cupcake, Android did not support video capture so users with older versions of Android could only take images. Compared to the prior two public versions, Cupcake has a lot of new features and improvements.
Project manager Ryan Gibson has typically been credited with naming Android versions after sweets. His motivations for employing such a name practice, however, are unknown.
