2) DVM – Dalvik Virtual machine

3) AVD – Android virtual device

4) What is intent filter? Explain with example

 An intent filter is an expression in an app's manifest
file that specifies the type of intents that the
component would like to receive.
 Example of intent filter
 Suppose we create an app that opens a webpage when the
user selects a link. We use an intent filter in the
AndroidManifest.xml to handle URL opening.
 Manifest File (AndroidManifest.xml)

 Explanation:
o The activity WebActivity listens for VIEW
actions.
o The DEFAULT category allows implicit intent
handling.
o The BROWSABLE category allows opening the app
from a web browser.
o The data element specifies that this activity
handles http and https links.
 Intent filters are a powerful mechanism in Android
that allows apps to interact and respond to different
types of intents. They enable seamless integration
between applications, making it easy to share content,
open web pages, handle custom URLs, and more.

5) What is services? Explain types of services in android

 A Service in Android is a background process that runs
independently of the user interface. It is used to
perform long-running tasks such as playing music,
fetching data, or handling network operations without
interrupting the user experience.
 Types of Services in Android
 1. Foreground Service:
o Runs in the foreground and shows a notification.
o Example: Music player running in the background.

startForeground(NOTIFICATION_ID, notification);

 2. Background Service:
o Runs in the background without a user interface.
o Example: Fetching emails in the background.

Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(this,

MyBackgroundService.class);
startService(serviceIntent);

 3. Bound Service:
o Allows communication between the service and
other components using bindService().
o Example: A service that provides location updates
to multiple activities.

bindService(intent, serviceConnection,
Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
 Services help Android applications perform background
tasks efficiently without blocking the user interface,
enhancing the overall user experience.

6) Explain OHA

platform.
 The Open Handset Alliance (OHA) plays a vital role in
the development and expansion of Android by bringing
together industry leaders to create a unified and open
mobile ecosystem.

7) Explain Android manifest.xml file in detail

 AndroidManifest.xml is a configuration file in every
Android app that defines essential app information. It
 is located in the root folder of the project and is
required for the app to function correctly.
 Key Features of AndroidManifest.xml
o 1️ Declares app components (Activities, Services,
Broadcast Receivers, Content Providers).
o 2️ Specifies app permissions (e.g., Internet,
Camera, Location).
o 3️ Defines hardware & software requirements (e.g.,
screen orientation, OpenGL support).
o 4️ Declares app metadata (e.g., app name, icon,
theme).
 Structure of AndroidManifest.xml

<manifest

9) What is intent? Explain type of intent with example

 An Intent in Android is a messaging object used to
communicate between components (Activities, Services,
Broadcast Receivers).
 It is used to start activities, send data, or request
actions from other apps.
 Types of Intents in Android
 1️. Explicit Intent
o Used to launch a specific component (e.g.,
starting a new activity in the same app).
 2️. Implicit Intent
o Used to request an action from another app (e.g.,
opening a web page or sharing data).
 1. Example of Explicit Intent (Open Another Activity)

Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this,

SecondActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("message", "Hello from MainActivity");
startActivity(intent);

 Receiving Data in SecondActivity.java

 String message =
getIntent().getStringExtra("message");

 2. Example of Implicit Intent (Open a Web Page)

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);

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

 Intent is used for navigation, communication, and

interaction between Android components.
 Explicit Intent is for internal app navigation, while
Implicit Intent allows interaction with other apps.

4) Explain Rest API and Retrofit API

 What is REST API?
o REST API (Representational State Transfer API) is
a web service that allows apps to communicate
over the HTTP protocol.
o It follows CRUD operations:
o Create (POST) → Add new data
o Read (GET) → Retrieve data
o Update (PUT/PATCH) → Modify data
o Delete (DELETE) → Remove data
 What is Retrofit API?
o Retrofit is a popular Android networking library
used to call REST APIs easily.
o It simplifies sending HTTP requests and handling
JSON responses.
o Why Use Retrofit?
 Easier & Faster than HttpURLConnection
 Handles JSON automatically
 Supports POST, GET, PUT, DELETE requests
 Simple Example of Retrofit API in Android
 1. Add Dependencies in build.gradle (Module: app)
 implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.9.0'
implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-
gson:2.9.0'

 2. Create a Retrofit API Interface (ApiService.java)

import retrofit2.Call;
import retrofit2.http.GET;
import java.util.List;

public interface ApiService {

@GET("posts") // API Endpoint
Call<List<Post>> getPosts();
}

 3. Define Data Model (Post.java)

public class Post {

private int id;
private String title;
private String body;

public int getId() { return id; }

public String getTitle() { return title; }
public String getBody() { return body; }
}

 4. Call API in MainActivity.java

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import java.util.List;
import retrofit2.Call;
import retrofit2.Callback;
import retrofit2.Response;
import retrofit2.Retrofit;
import retrofit2.converter.gson.GsonConverterFactory;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

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

Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()

.baseUrl("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/") //
Fake API for testing

.addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
.build();

ApiService apiService =
retrofit.create(ApiService.class);
Call<List<Post>> call = apiService.getPosts();

call.enqueue(new Callback<List<Post>>() {
@Override
public void onResponse(Call<List<Post>>
call, Response<List<Post>> response) {
if (response.isSuccessful()) {
List<Post> posts =
response.body();
for (Post post : posts) {
Log.d("API_RESPONSE",
post.getTitle());
}
}
}

@Override
public void onFailure(Call<List<Post>>
call, Throwable t) {
Log.e("API_ERROR", t.getMessage());
}
});
}
}

 REST API is used for web communication, while Retrofit

API simplifies API calls in Android.
5) Explain Content Provider
 A Content Provider is a component in Android that
allows one app to share data with another app
securely.
 It manages access to a centralized database, files, or
other app data.
 It uses a URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) to
identify and access data.
 Uses of Content Provider
o Sharing app data with other applications
o Accessing contacts, media files, or messages
o Providing a structured way to manage app data

 Example: Accessing Contacts Using Content Provider

import android.database.Cursor;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.ContactsContract;
import android.util.Log;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

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

Uri uri =
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI;
 Cursor cursor =
getContentResolver().query(uri, null, null, null,
null);

if (cursor != null) {
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
String name =
cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContrac
t.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME));
String number =
cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContrac
t.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
Log.d("CONTACT_INFO", "Name: " + name
+ ", Number: " + number);
}
cursor.close();
}
}
}

6) Explain SQLite Architecture

can understand.
o Acts as an interface between the application and
database engine.
 3️. SQL Compiler
o Converts SQL queries into bytecode instructions
using the following steps:
o Tokenizer: Breaks SQL statements into tokens.
 o Parser: Checks query syntax using a Bison-
generated parser.
o Code Generator: Converts the parsed query into
bytecode.
 4️. Virtual Machine (VDBE - Virtual Database Engine)
o Executes the bytecode instructions generated by
the SQL Compiler.
o Acts as the query execution engine of SQLite.
 5️. B-Tree Storage Engine
o Organizes database tables and indexes using a B-
Tree data structure for faster searches.
o Stores records in pages for efficient retrieval.
 6️. Pager & Cache Manager
o Pager: Handles reading/writing of database pages
from disk.
o Cache Manager: Stores frequently accessed data in
memory to improve performance.
 7️. Operating System Interface
o Provides file system access for storing and
retrieving database files (.db).
o Works with different OS platforms like Android,
Windows, and Linux.
 Diagram of SQLite Architecture

7) What is Cursor? Explain Briefly

 A Cursor is an interface in Android used to fetch data
from a database like SQLite.

 Works like a pointer to a database result set.

 Example: Using Cursor to Fetch Data from SQLite

SQLiteDatabase db = dbHelper.getReadableDatabase();
Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery("SELECT * FROM students",
null);

if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
do {
String name =
cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("name"));
int age =
cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex("age"));
System.out.println("Name: " + name + ", Age: "
+ age);
} while (cursor.moveToNext());
}

cursor.close();
db.close();

o Enable Developer Mode on the iPhone if needed.
 8. Submit App to the App Store (Final Step)
o Sign in to Apple Developer Account.
o Archive the project using Xcode → Product →
Archive.
o Submit the app via App Store Connect.
 These are the basic steps to create an iPhone app
using Xcode and Swift.

5) Explain any Three Button Control Attributes

 In iOS development (Swift & UIKit), a UIButton has
several attributes that control its appearance and
behavior. Here are three key attributes:
 1. Title (titleLabel & setTitle)
o Used to set or modify the button’s text.
o Example
o button.setTitle("Click Me", for: .normal)
o This sets the button text to "Click Me" for the
normal state.
 2. Background Color (backgroundColor)
o Changes the background color of the button.
o Example:
 o button.backgroundColor = UIColor.blue
o This sets the button’s background color to blue.
 3. Image (setImage & setBackgroundImage)
o Used to add an image to the button.
o Example:
o button.setImage(UIImage(named: "icon.png"), for:
.normal)
o This sets an image icon.png inside the button.
 The title, background color, and image are essential
attributes that help customize a button’s appearance
and functionality in an iOS app.

7) Write a Note on X-Code

 Xcode is Apple’s official Integrated Development
Environment (IDE) used for developing applications for
iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS.
 Key Features of Xcode
o Code Editor – Supports Swift, Objective-C, C, and
C++.
o Storyboard & Interface Builder – Drag-and-drop UI
design.
o IOS Simulator – Test apps without a physical
device.
o Debugger & Profiler – Helps find and fix errors.
o Version Control (Git) – Built-in support for
collaboration.
o App Store Deployment – Submit apps directly to
the App Store.
 Steps to Create an iOS App in Xcode
o 1 Install Xcode from the Mac App Store.
o 2️ Create a New Project in Xcode.
o 3️ Design UI using Storyboard or SwiftUI.
o 4️ Write Code in Swift (ViewController.swift).
o 5️ Run & Debug the app in Simulator or on a real
iPhone.
 o 6️ Submit the App to the App Store via App Store
Connect.
 Xcode is a powerful and user-friendly IDE that makes
iOS and macOS app development easy and efficient.

8) What is COCOA Touch? Explain Briefly

 Cocoa Touch is a framework in iOS development that
provides the necessary tools to build apps for
iPhones, iPads, and other Apple devices. It is built
on Objective-C and Swift and is part of the iOS SDK.
 Key Features of Cocoa Touch:
o User Interface (UIKit) – Handles buttons, labels,
text fields, and gestures.
o Touch Handling – Supports multi-touch and gesture
recognition.
o Networking – Provides APIs for web services and
data transfer.
o Core Data – Manages app data with a powerful
database system.
o Multimedia Support – Works with audio, video, and
graphics.
 Components of Cocoa Touch Framework:
o UIKit – Manages UI elements like buttons, labels,
and views.
o Foundation – Provides basic functionalities like
data storage, collections, and networking.
o Core Location – Helps in GPS and location-based
services.
o Core Animation – Enables smooth animations and
transitions.
 Example of Cocoa Touch in Swift (UIButton with Action)

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

@IBOutlet weak var myButton: UIButton!

@IBAction func buttonClicked(_ sender: UIButton) {

print("Button was clicked!")
}
}
 This example creates a UIButton and prints a message
when clicked.
 Cocoa Touch is the backbone of iOS app development,
providing essential tools for building powerful and
interactive applications.
