📘 Android, Kotlin & Flutter Interview

Preparation Guide
🧠 Kotlin Core Concepts
1. Master Functions, Lambdas, and Higher-Order Functions

- Lambda Expressions are short functions without names. Example:


val sum = { a: Int, b: Int -> a + b }

- Higher-Order Functions take or return functions. Example:


fun calculate(x: Int, y: Int, operation: (Int, Int) -> Int): Int = operation(x, y)

2. Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in Kotlin

- Kotlin supports classes, inheritance, and interfaces.

- Example:
open class Animal(val name: String) {
open fun sound() = "Some sound"
}
class Dog(name: String) : Animal(name) {
override fun sound() = "Bark"
}

3. Null Safety

- Kotlin prevents null pointer exceptions using nullable types.

- Safe Call: val nameLength = name?.length

- Elvis Operator: val length = name?.length ?: 0

📱 Android Components
1. Android OS Architecture (Simple Terms)

- Linux Kernel: Base layer communicating with hardware

- HAL: Middleware for hardware communication

- ART: Converts app code to native

- Libraries: Common functions used by apps


- App Layer: Where user apps run

2. Activity & Lifecycle

- An Activity is a single screen in Android.

- Lifecycle: onCreate → onStart → onResume → onPause → onStop → onDestroy → onRestart

- Example: Moving from Activity A → B → back to A:


A: onPause → B: onCreate, onStart, onResume → A: onStop
Back: B: onPause → A: onRestart, onStart, onResume → B: onStop, onDestroy

3. Intents

- Explicit Intent: Calls a specific activity. Example: Intent(this, SecondActivity::class.java)

- Implicit Intent: Performs general actions like opening a URL.

4. Fragments

- Reusable UI part inside an activity. Lifecycle includes onAttach, onCreate, onCreateView,


etc.

5. Layout Types

- LinearLayout: Vertical or horizontal list

- RelativeLayout: Position views relative to others

- ConstraintLayout: Flat and flexible design

- FrameLayout: Displays one view at a time

🎯 Flutter Overview
1. How Flutter Code Runs on Android, iOS, and Web

- Dart code is compiled into native ARM (Android/iOS) or JavaScript (Web)

- Skia engine draws everything directly on screen

2. Skia in Flutter

- A powerful graphics engine that renders UI pixels directly, allowing consistency across
platforms

3. Single Codebase Magic

- Write once in Dart, Flutter compiles it for Android, iOS, and Web using its own widgets and
Skia.
