Native App Development using Java


PART-A QUESTION AND ANSWERS
1. What is a Native Web App?
A Native Web App is a type of application that combines elements of both native apps
and web apps. It is built using web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, but it is
wrapped in a native container that allows it to be distillated and installed like a traditional mobile
app.
2. What are the benefits of Native Web Apps?
Cross-platform compatibility: Native web apps can run on multiple platforms (iOS, Android,
etc.) since they are built using web technologies.
Easier updates: Developers can push updates directly to users without requiring app store
approval, leading to quicker bug fixes and feature releases.
Lower development cost: Building a single codebase for multiple platforms can save
development time and resources compared to separate native app development.
Access to device features: Native web apps can access some device features (camera, location,
etc.) using browser APIs, bridging the gap between web and native capabilities.
3. In which scenarios would you create a Native Web App?
Native web apps are suitable for various scenarios, such as: When you want to target multiple
platforms with a single codebase.
When you need a cost-effective solution for app development.
For content-driven apps like news, blogs, or informational websites. When frequent updates are
crucial and need to be delivered quickly.
4. What are the tools used for creating Native Web Apps? To create native web apps, you can
use frameworks like:
1. React Native
2. Xamarin
3. Flutter
5. What are the disadvantages of Native Apps?
Development complexity: Building native apps for multiple platforms can be more time-
consuming and costly than cross-platform solutions.
App store approval process: Native apps often require a review process by app stores, which
can delay updates and bug fixes.
Limited access to device features: Each platform may have unique APIs, leading to variations
in accessing certain device features.
Maintenance burden: Maintaining separate codebases for different platforms can become
challenging over time.
6. Name some popular native app development frameworks.
React Native: Developed by Facebook, it allows building cross-platform mobile apps using
JavaScript and React.
Xamarin: Owned by Microsoft, it enables building native Android, iOS, and Windows apps
using C# and .NET.
Flutter: Developed by Google, it is a UI toolkit for building natively compiled applications for
mobile, web, and desktop using Dart programming language.
7. What are the main programming languages for Android app development?
The main programming languages for Android app development are Java and Kotlin.
Java was traditionally used for Android development, but Kotlin has gained popularity as the
preferred language due to its modern features and interoperability with Java.
8. What are the main programming languages for iOS app development?
The main programming languages for iOS app development are Swift and Objective-C.
Swift is a relatively new language developed by Apple, while Objective-C has been used for
many years and still plays a role in maintaining legacy iOS applications.
9. What is React Native?
React Native is an open-source mobile app development framework that allows
developers to build cross-platform mobile apps using JavaScript and React. It allows developers
to write code once and deploy it on both iOSand Android platforms, resulting in significant time
and cost savings.
10. What are Native Components in React Native?
Native Components in React Native are components that correspond to the native UI
elements of the platform (e.g., buttons, text inputs, etc.). They are used to render the user
interface and are bridged with the underlying native code to achieve native performance and
appearance.
11. What is JSX in React Native?
JSX (JavaScript XML) is a syntax extension used in React Native to write UI
components in a declarative manner. It allows developers to mix JavaScript code with XML-like
syntax, making it easier to create and visualize the component structure.
12. What is State in React Native?
State is a JavaScript object that represents the data or information that can change over
time within a React Native component. When the state changes, the component re-renders to
reflect the updated data.
13. What are Props in React Native?
Props (short for properties) are used to pass data from a parent component to a child
component in React Native. Props are immutable, meaning they cannot be modified within the
child component.
14. How can you manage State in React Native?
State in React Native can be managed using the useState hook, which is a built-in React
hook. It allows you to declare state variables and update them, triggering re- renders when the
state changes.
15. How do you handle user interactions in React Native?
User interactions in React Native are handled by attaching event handlers to components.
For example, you can use the onPress event handler to capture a button tap or the onChangeText
event handler to respond to text input changes. These event handlers can call functions to update
the state or perform other actions based on user input.

PART B QUESTIONS:
1. Explain the scenarios in which Native Web Apps are a suitable choice for app development.
2. Discuss how Native Apps provide a seamless user experience with their platform-specific
interfaces.
3. Compare and contrast Java and Kotlin as programming Languages for Android app
development, discussing their pros and cons.
4. Discuss the concepts of State and Props, their usage, and how they enable data management
and communication between components.
5. Define what a Native Web App is and how it differs from traditional web and native apps.
