Application Building Blocks
• Activity
• IntentReceiver
• Service
• ContentProvider
Activities
• Typically correspond to one UI screen
• But, they can:
–Be faceless
–Be in a floating window
–Return a value
IntentReceivers
• Components that respond to broadcast
‘Intents’
• Way to respond to external notification
or alarms
• Apps can invent and broadcast their
own Intent
Intents
• Think of Intents as a verb and object; a
description of what you want done
–E.g. VIEW, CALL, PLAY etc..
• System matches Intent with Activity that
can best provide the service
• Activities and IntentReceivers describe
what Intents they can service
Intents
Home System picks best
component for that action Photo
Gallery
Contacts

“Pick
GMail photo”

Client component makes


Chat a request for a specific
action
Blogger
Blogger
New components can
use existing functionality
Services
• Faceless components that run in the
background
–E.g. music player, network download etc…
ContentProviders
• Enables sharing of data across
applications
–E.g. address book, photo gallery
• Provides uniform APIs for:
–querying
–delete, update and insert.
• Content is represented by URI and MIME
type
Course Objectives
• Mobile Application Development (MAD)
• Intro to Android platform
• Platform architecture
• Application building blocks
• Development tools
• Textbook: Hello, Android
Development Tools

• Eclipse

• Android SDK 2.0 or higher


developer.android.com
The Emulator

• QEMU-based ARM emulator


• Runs the same image as the
device

• Limitations:
–No Camera support
Devices
Hello World
• A great starting point:

rials/hello-world.html
• Generating UIs
–Views – building blocks
–E.g. TextView, EditText, Button
–Placed into Layouts
–E.g. LinearLayout, TableLayout,
AbsoluteLayout
Application Lifecycle
• Application run in their own processes
(VM, PID)
• Processes are started and stopped as
needed to run an application's
components
• Processes may be killed to reclaim
resources
Lifecycle
• System • Home • Mail • Browser
Process

Home

• Map
Contacts

GMail
Location Manager
XMPP Services
• Allows any app to send
device-to-device messages to other
android users
