How does Android OS run on top of a Linux OS? For android box devices.

Is this called emulation or something? Or virtual machine? I am so confused.

I have asked people this and researched for a year but nobody will tell me like its a secret.

I want to understand how an Android box works. Its my understanding it has 2 types of code, Linux and Androud OS. Is there an assembly language too?

I want to know how it works. An android box hardware has some type of linux installed on the hardware and Android installed on a Linux program some how?

So is it like using a windows pc with microsoft word program? Or does that make no sense?

Thank you for helping me learn. I have researched this question for a year.

What does this have to do with Kodi?

I want to know where i can get parts to build an android box or embedded system parts so i can make a box to make it upgradeable maybe? Not Raspberry pi. I dont see the purpose in buying a raspberry pi for 3 times the price of a real android box thats way better.

Also, I have been getting curious sitch technology alot. So i took my bluray player apart to see what it looked like. I dont know what any of it does. I know to replace basic hardware on a desktop.

I noticed a lot of extra space in the bluray player to fit an androud box inside of it but there arent holes for the connections usb hdmi ethernet etc. How can i make holes in it?

Or how can i combine the bluray player with an android box?

Im.not sure how to even to get kodi to play with an external dvd player?

Originally i wanted to see if i could install libreelec on the bluray player but idk how to install software on a bluray player or abdroid box. Not sure how that would work.

I know this sounds crazy or dumb. I want to know how any company installs software on any electronic?

For example if I wanted to install kodi on dvd player or tv or something?

Im curious because I am trying to learn computer tech and build an android box.

Instead of using a regular computer.

I have libreelec on an sdcard i bought from wetek. So I want to figure out cool things i can do with it.

This didnt answer my question or make any sense to me All I understood was android is like linux distro but isnt because they share linux kernal.

If i wanted to make an android box, how would that be accomplished?

Just install android os with usb cord hooked up to a pc or something?
