摘　　要：Despite only being around for a few years, mobile devices have steadily risen to become the most extensively used computer devices. Given the number of people who rely on smartphones, which can install third-party apps, it has become an increasingly important issue for end-users and service providers to ensure that both the devices and the underlying network are secure. People will become more reliant on applications such as SMS, MMS, Internet Access, Online Transactions, and so on due to such features and capabilities. Thousands of devices ranging from low-cost phones to high-end luxury phones are powered by the Android operating system, which has dominated the smartphone marketplace. It is about making it possible for people from all socioeconomic backgrounds to get and use mobile devices in their daily activities. In response to this growing popularity, the number of new applications introduced to the Android market has skyrocketed. The recent appearance of a wide range of mobile malware has caught the attention of security professionals and scholars alike. In light of the ongoing expansion of the mobile phone industry, the likelihood of it being used in criminal activities will only continue to rise in the future. This article reviews the literature on malware detection and prevention in Android mobile devices, analyzes the existing literature on major studies and tasks, and covers articles, journals, and digital resources such as Internet security publications, scientific studies, and conferences.Despite only being around for a few years, mobile devices have steadily risen to become the most extensively used computer devices.
