Ukusebenza kwamadivaysi eselula asebenzisa uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-Android, uhlelo olusetshenziswa kakhulu lweselula emhlabeni jikelele, lungandiswa ngokusebenzisa "izinhlelo zokusebenza" - isoftware ekhethekile eyenzelwe ukunika abasebenzisi izindlela zokusebenzisa amadivaysi abo ngezinjongo ezithile ezingeziwe. Izinhlelo zokusebenza ezinjalo zihlanganiswa ngefomethi yefayela le-APK yomdabu ye-Android evumela ukusatshalaliswa kalula kwezinhlelo zokusebenza kubasebenzisi bokugcina. Iningi lezinhlelo zokusebenza lisatshalaliswa nge-Google Play Store kepha izakhi eziningi zesoftware, noma ezitolo zezinsiza, zikhona. Izitolo zohlelo lokusebenza ezingezinye zisebenzisa inketho "yemithombo engaziwa" yamadivayisi we-Android ukufaka amafayela we-APK ngqo ngesiphathi sephakheji se-Android. 'Isitolo seGoogle Play' Isitolo seGoogle Play (ekuqaleni iMakethe ye-Android), esisebenza futhi sithuthukiswa yiGoogle, sisebenza njengesitolo esisemthethweni sohlelo lokusebenza lwe-Android, sivumela abasebenzisi ukulanda izinhlelo zokusebenza ezenziwe ngekhithi yokuthuthukisa isoftware ye-Android (SDK) futhi ishicilelwe ngeGoogle. Isitolo sinikezela ngezinhlelo zokusebenza zamahhala nezikhokhelwayo. Izinhlelo zokusebenza ezixhaphaza amandla we-hardware wedivayisi zingabhekiswa kubasebenzisi bamadivayisi anezici ezithile zekhompiyutha, njengezinzwa ezinyakazayo (zemidlalo encike kokuhamba) noma ikhamera ebheke phambili (ngokubiza ividiyo nge-inthanethi). Isitolo se-Google Play saba nezilandi ezingaphezulu kwezigidi ezingama-50 zokulanda ngo-2013 futhi sifinyelele kwizinhlelo zokusebenza ezingaphezu kwezigidi ezi-2.7 ezishicilelwe ngonyaka we-2017.
