linear layout

Awesome! Let's start with LinearLayout — here's the breakdown:

📘 1. Fun Format (To Understand Fast)

🧱 LinearLayout is like stacking bricks — you can stack them VERTICALLY (one below the other) or
HORIZONTALLY (side by side).

Think of it as:

🍔 Hamburger = vertical LinearLayout

🍟 French fries in a row = horizontal LinearLayout
You tell it "I want my views like a column or a row," and it says, “Okay boss!”

✨ It’s the most basic and friendly layout to begin with!

Now, let’s go with the full learning format:

📗 2. Proper Format (Exams Ke Liye Ready)

📌 Explanation (6–8 Easy Points)
1. LinearLayout arranges children in a single direction — vertical or horizontal.

2. It’s defined using android.widget.LinearLayout class.

3. You can nest LinearLayouts (put one inside another) to make complex UIs.

4. You must specify layout_width and layout_height for every child.

5. Use android:orientation to decide direction (vertical/horizontal).

6. Children are placed one after another, no overlap.

7. android:gravity and android:layout_gravity help with alignment.

8. It's easy but can be inefficient with deep nesting (use ConstraintLayout instead for complex designs).

📌 Types
Horizontal LinearLayout → Places views side by side (left to right)

Vertical LinearLayout → Places views one below another (top to bottom)

📌 Syntax (Simple)
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<!-- child views go here -->
</LinearLayout>

📌 Important Attributes
1. android:orientation → “vertical” or “horizontal” — sets direction.

2. android:gravity → Aligns all child views inside the layout (like center, end, start).

3. android:layout_gravity → Aligns one specific child in parent layout.

4. android:layout_weight → Distributes space proportionally between children.

📌 Methods (Java-side)
1. setOrientation(int orientation) → Dynamically sets layout direction.

2. addView(View child) → Adds a view inside the LinearLayout.

3. removeView(View child) → Removes a view from layout.

4. getChildCount() → Returns number of children inside the layout.

📌 Code (Simple & Clean)

🟡 XML (res/layout/activity_main.xml)
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="16dp" >

arduino Copy Edit

<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Hello Student!" />

<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Click Me" />

</LinearLayout>

🟡 Java (MainActivity.java — only important part)

LinearLayout layout = findViewById(R.id.linearLayout);
layout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);

🟡 Manifest — Not needed for LinearLayout specifically.

absolute layout

Perfect! Let’s tackle AbsoluteLayout — it’s not recommended for modern apps, but still important for your
exam.

📘 1. Fun Format (Understand Fast)

🎯 AbsoluteLayout is like sticking stickers on a paper by hand — you tell it exactly where to put each one (x,
y coordinates).
No smart positioning, just "put this 50 from left and 100 from top."

But just like old sticker books, it doesn’t adjust well to different screen sizes — that’s why it’s outdated!

📗 2. Exam-Ready Format
📌 Explanation (6–8 Easy Points)
1. AbsoluteLayout lets you position child views using fixed x and y coordinates.

2. It uses android.widget.AbsoluteLayout class (deprecated now).

3. Views don’t move or adjust with screen size — bad for responsiveness.

4. Each child view must have android:layout_x and android:layout_y attributes.

5. Best used for simple UIs on fixed-size devices (e.g., kiosk apps).
 6. Modern layouts like ConstraintLayout or RelativeLayout are preferred.

7. It was removed from newer Android SDKs after API level 3.

8. Still useful to understand for legacy app maintenance or exams.

📌 Types
❌ No specific types — it’s just one layout where you fix positions.
📌 Syntax
<AbsoluteLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" >

php-template Copy Edit

<!-- child views with layout_x and layout_y -->

</AbsoluteLayout>

📌 Important Attributes
1. android:layout_x → Sets x-position (from left)

2. android:layout_y → Sets y-position (from top)

📌 Methods (Java-side)
1. setLayoutParams() → Sets position and size of the view.

2. addView(View child) → Adds a view to the layout.

3. removeView(View child) → Removes a child from the layout.

📌 Code (Simple & Easy)

🟡 XML (res/layout/activity_main.xml)
<AbsoluteLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" >

arduino Copy Edit

<Button
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:text="Click Me"
android:layout_x="50dp"
android:layout_y="100dp" />

</AbsoluteLayout>

🟡 Java (MainActivity.java — optional for AbsoluteLayout)

No special Java required unless you want to add views dynamically.

🟡 Manifest — Not needed for AbsoluteLayout specifically.

📢 Note: Since it’s deprecated, don't use it in real apps — just know it for theory.

frame layout

Awesome! Let’s dive into FrameLayout — very simple and super useful!

📘 1. Fun Format (Understand Fast)

🎬 FrameLayout is like a stage — only one actor (view) is clearly visible at a time, even if many are standing
there. The rest are behind!

🧃 Think of it like stacking cards — whichever is on top is visible.

You can show/hide views (like loading screens, image overlays, etc.) using FrameLayout.

📗 2. Exam-Ready Format
📌 Explanation (6–8 Easy Points)
1. FrameLayout places child views on top of each other — like layers.

2. It shows only the topmost child view clearly — others are behind it.

3. It's good for simple layouts like splash screens, video players, overlays, etc.

4. It does not arrange children — every child starts from top-left by default.
 5. You can manually adjust positions using margins, gravity, or padding.

6. FrameLayout is efficient and light, but not suitable for complex designs.

7. Child views can be toggled (setVisibility) for dynamic screens.

8. Used in fragment containers to swap fragments in one screen area.

📌 Types
❌ No specific types — it’s a single layout type.
📌 Syntax
<FrameLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<!-- children go here -->
</FrameLayout>

📌 Important Attributes
1. android:foreground → Adds an overlay drawable (e.g. shadow).

2. android:measureAllChildren → Forces all children to be measured, not just visible ones.

3. android:layout_gravity → Controls the positioning of a specific child (like center, end).

4. android:layout_margin → Adds space around the child view.

📌 Methods (Java-side)
1. addView(View child) → Adds a new view to the FrameLayout.

2. removeView(View child) → Removes a view from the layout.

3. getChildCount() → Returns total number of children.

4. setForeground(Drawable) → Sets a foreground image or shape.

📌 Code (Super Easy)

🟡 XML (res/layout/activity_main.xml)
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" >

php-template Copy Edit

<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:src="@drawable/background_image" />

<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Hello Frame!"
android:textSize="24sp"
android:layout_gravity="center" />

</FrameLayout>

🟡 Java (MainActivity.java — optional)

TextView text = findViewById(R.id.textView);
text.setVisibility(View.GONE); // Hide it

🟡 Manifest — Not required for FrameLayout specifically.

table layout

Great choice! TableLayout is like a grid made for organizing views in rows and columns — perfect for exam
and real UI building!

📘 1. Fun Format (Understand Fast)

🍱 TableLayout is like a tiffin box with rows and columns. Each dish (view) sits in its own compartment!
🎯 It arranges views in rows (TableRows), and inside those rows, you can place multiple views (like TextViews,
Buttons).

🧮 Think of it like Excel — but for Android UI!

📗 2. Exam-Ready Format
📌 Explanation (6–8 Easy Points)
1. TableLayout arranges views in rows and columns using <TableRow>.

2. Each row can have one or more cells (views), just like a table.

3. Columns are based on how many views are in the widest TableRow.

4. No vertical lines — you must simulate using background or separate views.

5. Each child of TableLayout must be a TableRow, and each TableRow contains child views.

6. You can span views across columns using android:layout_span.

7. Column width is determined by the largest item in that column.

8. Best used when designing forms, calculator UIs, or tabular data.

📌 Types
❌ No types — but rows can have different number of cells.
📌 Syntax
<TableLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

php-template Copy Edit

<TableRow>
<TextView android:text="Row 1, Col 1" />
<TextView android:text="Row 1, Col 2" />
</TableRow>

</TableLayout>

📌 Important Attributes
1. android:stretchColumns → Stretches specific columns to fill remaining space.

2. android:shrinkColumns → Shrinks specified columns to fit screen.

3. android:collapseColumns → Hides specified columns from the view.

4. android:layout_span → Used inside a TableRow to make a view span multiple columns.

📌 Methods (Java-side)
1. addView(View view) → Add a TableRow to TableLayout.

2. getChildAt(int index) → Get a specific row.

3. setStretchAllColumns(true) → Stretches all columns evenly.

4. removeView(View view) → Removes a row.

📌 Code (Simple Example)

🟡 XML (res/layout/activity_main.xml)
<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:stretchColumns="1" >

table.setStretchAllColumns(true);

🟡 Manifest — Not needed for TableLayout.

Ready for RelativeLayout, ConstraintLayout, Button, or TextView next?

relative layout

Great pick! RelativeLayout is one of the most important layouts for Android. Super flexible and perfect for
exams! Let's do it in both formats 🔥

📘 1. Fun Format (Understand Fast)

🧲 RelativeLayout is like a group photo — you tell each person where to stand based on someone else.
Example: "Button B, you stand to the right of Text A!"

👀 It’s all about relationships: one view is placed relative to another or the parent!
📗 2. Exam-Ready Format
📌 Explanation (6–8 Easy Points)
1. RelativeLayout arranges child views relative to each other or the parent.

2. It's a flexible layout useful for building complex UIs without nesting.

3. You use rules like alignParentTop, toRightOf, below, etc.

4. Every child must have an id so others can refer to it.

5. Reduces nesting by arranging views efficiently in one layout.

6. Useful for forms, login screens, and media players.

7. It works best when view relationships are clearly defined.

8. Replaced in modern apps with ConstraintLayout, but still useful in exams!

📌 Types
❌ No types — it's one flexible layout that arranges views in multiple directions.
📌 Syntax
<RelativeLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<!-- child views -->
</RelativeLayout>

📌 Important Attributes (With 1.5 Line Explanation)

1. android:layout_alignParentTop → Aligns view to top of parent.

2. android:layout_alignParentBottom → Aligns view to bottom.

7. android:layout_alignLeft="@id/viewId" → Aligns left edge with another view.

📌 Methods (Java-side)
1. addRule(int verb, int anchor) → Adds a rule to position a view (Java).

2. setLayoutParams() → Applies position settings.

3. removeRule(int verb) → Removes a layout rule (API 17+).

📌 Code (Easy Example)

🟡 XML (res/layout/activity_main.xml)

Want to cover ConstraintLayout, ScrollView, Button, or TextView next?

constraint layout

Awesome! ConstraintLayout is the superhero of layouts in Android — super powerful, flexible, and very
exam-worthy. 💪

📘 1. Fun Format (Understand Fast)

🕸️ Think of ConstraintLayout as a spider web — every view is tied to another view or the parent with
"strings" called constraints.

📐 It's like saying: "Hey Button, stay 20dp below the TextView and center yourself!"
🚫 No more nesting! You can build complex UIs with fewer lines and better performance.
📗 2. Exam-Ready Format
📌 Explanation (6–8 Easy Points)
1. ConstraintLayout allows you to position and size views relative to others or the parent.

2. It's a flat layout — avoids deep nesting unlike LinearLayout or RelativeLayout.

3. Uses constraints like top_toTopOf, start_toStartOf, etc.

4. Gives full control over positioning in all directions.

5. Best for complex UI designs like login screens, forms, dashboards.

6. Can chain views together (e.g., horizontally or vertically).

7. Supports barriers, bias, guideline, and percent-based positioning.

8. Replaces other layouts and improves performance and readability.

📌 Types
❌ No predefined types — but supports features like:
Chains (horizontal/vertical group of views)

Guidelines (virtual lines to align views)

Barriers (dynamic constraints based on other views)

📌 Syntax
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >

php-template Copy Edit

 <!-- Views with constraints go here -->

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

2. app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf → Aligns bottom with bottom.

3. app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf → Aligns left/start edge with another view.

4. app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf → Aligns right/end edge with another view.

5. app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias → Controls horizontal position (0 = left, 1 = right).

6. app:layout_constraintVertical_bias → Controls vertical position (0 = top, 1 = bottom).

7. app:layout_constraintWidth_percent → Sets width based on percent of parent (used with 0dp).

📌 Methods (Java-side – rarely needed, just FYI)

1. setConstraintSet() – Apply a ConstraintSet to modify constraints dynamically.

2. applyTo() – Apply constraints from ConstraintSet to a ConstraintLayout.

📌 Code (Simple Example)

🟡 XML (res/layout/activity_main.xml)

toast

Here comes Toast 🍞 — the yummy popup that disappears on its own!

📘 1. Fun Format (Understand Fast)

Toast is like your app whispering something softly 😄 —
“Item saved!”... “Logged in!”... “Error occurred!”... It appears quickly, then disappears like a ninja 🥷.
No buttons, no fuss — just a simple quick message to the user.

📗 2. Exam-Ready Format
📌 Explanation (6–8 Easy Points)
1. Toast is used to display short popup messages to the user.

2. It disappears automatically after a short or long duration.

3. Does not block user interaction — works in the background.

4. Commonly used for feedback like “Saved”, “Deleted”, or “No Internet”.

5. Can be customized using a layout file.

6. Can show both text and images (with custom Toast).

7. Doesn’t need user input to dismiss.

8. Safer to use than Dialog for quick alerts.

📌 Types
1. Normal Toast (with text)

2. Custom Toast (with layout/image)

 3. Centered Toast (positioned on screen)

📌 Syntax (Basic)
Toast.makeText(context, "Message", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

📌 Methods
1. makeText(Context, String, Duration) → Creates a Toast.

2. show() → Displays the Toast.

3. setGravity(Gravity, xOffset, yOffset) → Changes Toast position.

4. setView(View) → Sets custom layout view (for custom Toast).

📌 No attributes (because it's not an XML component).

📌 Code (Basic & Centered Toast)
🟡 Java (MainActivity.java)
// Basic Toast
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Login Successful", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

// Centered Toast
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Centered Toast", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
toast.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER, 0, 0);
toast.show();

🟡 XML — Not required unless you're making a custom layout for the toast.
🟡 Manifest — No changes required.
Want the format for Snackbar (Toast's cooler cousin)? 🛎️

custom toast

Let’s cook up a Custom Toast 🍞✨ — with your own ingredients (layout, image, color)!

📘 1. Fun Format (Understand Fast)

Normal Toast = “Hello, User!” 😐
Custom Toast = “Hello, User!” with 🎨 fonts, 🖼️ images, and 💥 background styles!

Think of it as DIY Toast: your own layout, your own message, your style! 😎

📗 2. Exam-Ready Format
📌 Explanation (6–8 Easy Points)
1. A Custom Toast lets you design your own message popup.

2. You create a custom layout (XML) with TextView, ImageView, etc.

3. Use LayoutInflater to convert that layout into a view.

4. You attach this view to a Toast using setView().

5. It works like a regular Toast but looks much cooler.

6. You can set position using setGravity().

7. Helpful for branding (custom logos, themed alerts).

8. Does not interrupt app UI — appears briefly and disappears.

📌 Types
1. Image + Text Custom Toast

2. Full XML Layout Custom Toast

📌 No attributes (because it's not declared in XML directly).

📌 Methods (Java-side)
1. makeText() → Used with setView() to create custom Toast.

2. setView(View) → Attaches your custom layout.

3. setGravity() → Sets position of the Toast.

4. show() → Displays the Toast.

📌 Code (Custom Toast with Image + Text)

🟡 Step 1: XML layout for toast (res/layout/custom_toast.xml)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal" android:padding="10dp" android:background="#222222"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">

php-template Copy Edit

<ImageView
android:src="@android:drawable/ic_dialog_info"
android:layout_width="40dp"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:layout_marginRight="8dp" />

<TextView
android:id="@+id/customToastText"
android:text="Hello from Custom Toast!"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

</LinearLayout>

🟡 Step 2: Java code (MainActivity.java)

LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_toast, null);

TextView text = layout.findViewById(R.id.customToastText);

text.setText("Login Successful!");

Toast toast = new Toast(getApplicationContext());

toast.setDuration(Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.setView(layout);
toast.setGravity(Gravity.BOTTOM, 0, 50);
toast.show();

intent

Let’s launch into the world of Intents! 🚀📱

📘 1. Fun Format (Understand Fast)

Imagine Intent as your app’s messenger:
📩 “Hey, I want to open a new screen!” or
📸 “Yo, camera! Take a photo!” or
📞 “Dial this number NOW!”
It’s like sending a letter (with extras) to another screen or app to do something. Simple & powerful!

📗 2. Exam-Ready Format
📌 Explanation (6–8 Easy Points)
1. Intent is used to start another activity, app, or service.

2. It’s a messaging object that requests an action from another component.

3. Two types: Explicit (within app), Implicit (other apps/system).

4. Can carry data using putExtra() and retrieve via getExtras().

5. Often used to open new screens, share content, dial numbers, etc.

6. Intents help in activity transitions and inter-component communication.

7. Can also launch camera, browser, email, etc.

8. startActivity() is used to launch the intent.

📌 Types
 1. Explicit Intent → Starts a specific component (e.g., ActivityB.class).

2. Implicit Intent → Asks Android to find a suitable app (e.g., for viewing a webpage).

📌 Syntax
Explicit:
Intent intent = new Intent(CurrentActivity.this, TargetActivity.class);

Implicit:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("https://www.google.com"));

📌 Attributes — Not applicable directly (used in code, not XML).

📌 Common Methods
1. putExtra(key, value) → Attach data to intent.

2. getStringExtra(key) → Get string data from intent.

3. setData(Uri) → For setting data URI (e.g., website).

4. setAction() → Set desired action (e.g., ACTION_VIEW).

5. startActivity(intent) → Starts a new activity.

📌 Code Examples
🟡 XML — Just buttons to trigger intent (example)
<Button android:id="@+id/openSecond" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Open Second Activity" />

🟡 Java — Explicit Intent

Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, SecondActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("username", "Raj");
startActivity(intent);

🟡 Java — Implicit Intent (Open browser)

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("https://www.google.com"));
startActivity(intent);

🟡 Manifest (for Explicit Intent’s target activity)

<activity android:name=".SecondActivity"></activity>

activity lifecycle

Let’s explore the life of an Android Activity — from birth to destruction! 📱💀🎉

📘 1. Fun Format (Understand Fast)

Imagine your activity is a movie star 🎬:

🎥 onCreate() → Born and setup begins!

🧍 onStart() → Entering the stage.
👀 onResume() → Spotlight’s on, you're performing!
📞 onPause() → “Hold on, someone’s calling…” — paused.
👋 onStop() → “Scene ends, time to exit.”
🔁 onRestart() → “Oh wait! You’re needed again!”
💀 onDestroy() → Final goodbye! Activity is destroyed.

Your activity goes through these life stages every time it appears and disappears on screen!

📗 2. Exam-Ready Format
📌 Explanation (6–8 Easy Points)
1. The Activity Lifecycle defines how an activity is created, resumed, paused, stopped, and destroyed.

2. Android manages these states automatically based on user interaction and system needs.

3. There are 7 lifecycle methods developers can override.

4. It ensures smooth transition between activities and efficient resource management.

 5. Helps manage tasks like saving data, releasing resources, or updating UI.

6. Crucial for handling events like incoming calls, backgrounding the app, or closing it.

7. Lifecycle is defined in the android.app.Activity class.

8. Developers use log statements to monitor these state changes.

📌 Lifecycle Methods
1. onCreate() → Called when activity is first created. UI setup happens here.

2. onStart() → Activity is becoming visible.

3. onResume() → Activity is now visible and interactive.

4. onPause() → Activity is partially visible; save data or pause animations.

5. onStop() → Activity is completely hidden.

6. onRestart() → Called when activity moves from stopped to started again.

7. onDestroy() → Final call before activity is destroyed.

📌 Syntax (Basic)
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}

📌 No Attributes (Not XML based)

📌 Code
🟡 Java — Logging all lifecycle methods:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

typescript Copy Edit

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Log.d("Lifecycle", "onCreate called");
}

@Override
protected void onStart() {
super.onStart();
Log.d("Lifecycle", "onStart called");
}

@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
Log.d("Lifecycle", "onResume called");
}

@Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
Log.d("Lifecycle", "onPause called");
}

@Override
protected void onStop() {
super.onStop();
Log.d("Lifecycle", "onStop called");
}

@Override
protected void onRestart() {
super.onRestart();
Log.d("Lifecycle", "onRestart called");
}

@Override
protected void onDestroy() {
 super.onDestroy();
Log.d("Lifecycle", "onDestroy called");
}

🟡 XML — Just a layout to load

<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Activity Lifecycle Demo" />

🟡 Manifest — Normal activity entry

<activity android:name=".MainActivity" />

broadcast lifecycle and intents of it

Let’s dive into the world of Broadcasts in Android — how they live, talk, and retire! 📡📲

📘 1. Fun Format (Understand Fast)

Imagine your phone shouting:
📣 "Battery is low!" or
📣 "Headphones connected!"
These messages are Broadcasts. Apps can send them (say something 📤), receive them (listen 👂), or react
(take action 💥).

BroadcastReceiver = the listener.

Intent = the message being shouted.

🛑 But it doesn't live forever — it's a one-time listener that goes away after receiving the message.
📗 2. Exam-Ready Format
📌 Explanation (6–8 Points)
1. Broadcasts in Android are system-wide announcements (e.g., SMS received, battery low).

2. A BroadcastReceiver is a component that listens and reacts to these broadcasts.

3. The lifecycle is short-lived — active only when the broadcast is received.

4. They don’t have UI and run in the background.

5. You can create custom broadcasts or listen to system broadcasts.

6. Receivers can be registered in Java (dynamic) or in AndroidManifest.xml (static).

7. After receiving, the onReceive() method is triggered.

8. Should complete tasks quickly — no long operations allowed.

📌 Broadcast Lifecycle (Very Short)

Registered (in code or manifest)

onReceive() is called when broadcast is received

Dies after execution

📌 Types of Broadcasts
1. System Broadcasts (e.g., android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED)

2. Custom Broadcasts (you define your own)

3. Ordered Broadcasts (received one by one)

4. Normal Broadcasts (all at once)

📌 Syntax (Simple)
Java Registration:

IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_BATTERY_LOW);

registerReceiver(receiver, filter);

📌 Attributes (Used in Manifest)

android:enabled → If receiver is enabled
android:exported → Can receive broadcasts from other apps

📌 Methods (Important)
 onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
→ Called when broadcast is received.

sendBroadcast(Intent)
→ Used to send a normal broadcast.

sendOrderedBroadcast(Intent, permission)
→ Sends an ordered broadcast.

📌 Java Code — Receive Battery Low Broadcast

public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Toast.makeText(context, "Battery is Low!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}

📌 Register in Manifest
<receiver android:name=".MyReceiver" android:exported="true"> <intent-filter> <action
android:name="android.intent.action.BATTERY_LOW"/> </intent-filter> </receiver>

📌 Send Custom Broadcast

Intent intent = new Intent("com.example.MY_BROADCAST");
sendBroadcast(intent);

📌 Register Custom Receiver (Java)

IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter("com.example.MY_BROADCAST");
registerReceiver(receiver, filter);
