Touch to open a list of services—applications or parts of applications that provide services to other applications, or that run even when their main application isn’t running. Examples include the Android onscreen keyboard and the small portion of Google Talk that always listens for incoming messages.Above each service, one or more gray bars show what processes the running service needs and how much memory they're using (how much memory you would recover if you stopped the service). Depending on the service, when you touch it in the list it either opens a dialog in which you can stop it or opens its Settings screen.

The Development screen contains settings that are useful for developing Android applications. For full information, including documentation of the Android applications and development tools, see the Android developer web site (http://developer.android.com).

•USB debugging: mark the check box to permit debugging tools on a computer to communicate with your cellphone via a USB connection.

•Stay awake: mark the check box to prevent the screen from dimming and locking when the cellphone is connected to a charger or to a USB device that provides power. Don’t use this setting with a static image on the cellphone for long periods of time, or the screen may be marked with that image.

•Allow mock locations: mark the check box to permit a development tool on a computer to control where the cellphone believes it is located, rather than using the cellphone's own internal tools for this purpose.
