Android Runtime (ART)

Android Runtime (ART) is the environment within an Android device that runs apps. It translates code written by app developers into instructions the device's hardware can understand and execute efficiently. Unlike previous systems that converted code each time an app ran, ART pre-processes (or compiles) apps ahead of time, leading to faster performance and better battery life. Essentially, ART acts as the bridge between app code and the device's hardware, ensuring apps work smoothly, efficiently, and reliably on Android devices.
