Someone recently asked what is HMS and what is its relationship with Android.
To this end, I sorted out the following four points to answer:
1. The Android system is open source, and Google cannot disable open source code. GMS is a closed source product developed by Google. Google can completely disable GMS, so that Huawei cannot use GMS on Android.
2. The relationship between GMS and Android system: GMS (Google Mobile Service) means Google Mobile Service, which is one of the Android system configuration services. Android system can have no GMS, but GMS cannot be without Android system, because GMS is based on Android system Something developed.
In addition , the role of GMS can be clearly understood overseas. For example, Google App Store, many overseas Android apps cannot run without GMS; GMS is also used in China, but users can not see it wherever it is used, because domestic manufacturers It is generally used based on GMS modification, which also requires Google to authorize.
3. GMS and HMS: HMS (Huawei Mobile Service) means Huawei Mobile Service, which imitates and completely replaces the existence of GMS; because the Android system is open source, the system code can be freely copied and used, and HMS can be stably based on The Android system is used.
4. At present, Huawei has imitated and replaced the Android system, which is the Hongmeng system, but the Hongmeng system has not yet been applied to the market. On the whole, there is still a lack of active innovation. The Hongmeng system and HMS services are passively imitated and improved because of the survival of business competition; for technology, it is crucial to carry out active innovation practice and occupy the market in advance. important.
I hope that in the future, we can actively and innovatively develop new technologies and occupy the global market in advance.
