✅ What is a Service in Android?

A Service is an Android component that performs long-running operations in the

background without a user interface (UI). It continues to run even if the user switches to
another app.

🔧 Common Uses of Services:

 Playing music in the background

 Downloading/uploading files

 Fetching data from the internet periodically

 Tracking location continuously

✅ Significance of Bundle in Android App (3 Marks)

In Android, a Bundle is a key-value pair data structure used to pass data between different
components like Activities, Fragments, or Services. It plays a crucial role in saving and
transferring app state and data.

📌 Key Significance of Bundle:

🔹 1. Data Transfer Between Activities/Fragments

 Bundle allows passing of primitive types, Strings, Serializable or Parcelable objects.

 Example:

 Intent intent = new Intent(this, SecondActivity.class);

 Bundle bundle = new Bundle();

 bundle.putString("username", "JohnDoe");

 intent.putExtras(bundle);

 startActivity(intent);

🔹 2. Saving State in Lifecycle Methods

 Used in onSaveInstanceState() to preserve UI state during configuration changes like

screen rotation.

 Example:

 @Override

 protected void onSaveInstanceState(Bundle outState) {

 outState.putInt("score", currentScore);

 super.onSaveInstanceState(outState);

 }

🔹 3. Passing Arguments to Fragments

 Fragments receive data using setArguments(Bundle) and getArguments().

 Example:

 Fragment fragment = new MyFragment();

 Bundle args = new Bundle();

 args.putInt("user_id", 123);

 fragment.setArguments(args);

🔹 4. Inter-process Communication

 Bundles are used in Intent and Messenger for passing data between components or
services.

🟢 In Summary:
The Bundle class is essential for data sharing and state preservation in Android applications,
making it a key tool in effective app component communication.

✅ What is the use of strings.xml in Android? (3 Marks)

In Android, the strings.xml file is used to define and manage all string resources (text
content) for the application in a centralized and organized way.

📌 Key Uses of strings.xml:

🔹 1. Centralized Text Management

 All UI text such as labels, messages, button text, and headings are stored in
res/values/strings.xml.

 This improves code readability and maintainability.

🔹 2. Supports Localization

 It allows developers to create multiple versions of strings.xml for different languages,

enabling multilingual support in apps.

🔹 3. Easy Reusability

 Strings can be reused across multiple layouts or activities, reducing duplication.

 Example:

 <string name="app_name">MyApp</string>

Used in code:

String appName = getString(R.string.app_name);

🔹 4. Separation of UI and Logic

 Keeps the UI text separate from the Java/Kotlin code, following best practices for app
design.

✅ In Summary:

The strings.xml file plays a vital role in maintaining, reusing, and localizing text content in
Android apps efficiently.
