The rapid
increase of Android application creation results in essential malware risks
that need suitable detection systems to counteract these threats effectively. A
machine learning-based Android Malware Detection System stands as the main
component of this project development for classifying applications into benign
versus malicious types. An evaluation of malware detection takes place through
XGBoost (XGB) and Random Forest (RF) and Decision Tree (DT) algorithms by
focusing on network patterns as well as API calls and permissions features. The
training together with evaluation process for this system relies on a set of
classified Android applications. The model achieves higher performance levels
together with fewer selected features which produces simplified operational
processes. The selection of the best real-time malware detector depends on
F1-score calculations after performing accuracy tests and precision checks with
recall validations. This study conducts an orderly examination of basic
learning principles and ensemble learning principles to determine their major
functions and constraints. Better Android security systems emerge from research
results that lead to better malware detection algorithms that both achieve high
accuracy and reduce false results. Security experts and developers obtain
benefits from research implementation by building safer mobile applications.
The research incorporates a machine learning system to improve Android security
through specified tactics for detecting new malware threats.
