Question: What is the importance of Android in the mobile market?

Answer: Developers can write and register apps that will specifically run under the Android
environment. This means that every mobile device that is Android enabled will be able to
support and run these apps. With the growing popularity of Android mobile devices,
developers can take advantage of this trend by creating and uploading their apps on the
Android Market for distribution to anyone who wants to download it.

Question: What is the Android Architecture?

Answer: Android Architecture is made up of 4 key components: Linux Kernel, Libraries,


Android Framework, Android Applications

Question: When dealing with multiple resources, which one takes precedence?

Answer: Assuming that all of these multiple resources are able to match the configuration of
a device, the ‘locale’ qualifier almost always takes the highest precedence over the others.

Question: What is Android?

Answer: It is an open-sourced operating system that is used primarily on mobile devices,


such as cell phones and tablets. It is a Linux kernel-based system that’s been equipped with
rich components that allows developers to create and run apps that can perform both basic
and advanced functions.

Question: What is the proper way of setting up an Android-powered device for app
development?

Answer: The following are steps to be followed prior to actual application development in
an Android-powered device: -Declare your application as “debuggable” in your Android
Manifest. -Turn on “USB Debugging” on your device. -Set up your system to detect your
device.

Question: What is the function of an intent filter?


Answer: Because every component needs to indicate which intents they can respond to,
intent filters are used to filter out intents that these components are willing to receive. One
or more intent filters are possible, depending on the services and activities that are going to
make use of it.

Question: What is the use of an activityCreator?

Answer: An activityCreator is the first step towards the creation of a new Android project. It
is made up of a shell script that will be used to create new file system structure necessary
for writing codes within the Android IDE.

Question: What are the four essential states of an activity?

Answer: Active – if the activity is at the foreground, Paused – if the activity is at the
background and still visible, Stopped – if the activity is not visible and therefore is hidden or
obscured by another activity, Destroyed – when the activity process is killed or completed
terminated
