protecting user data.

B. Libraries and Android Runtime (ART):

• Libraries: Set of C/C++ libraries that provide basic
functions like data storage, web rendering, and
media playback.
• These libraries are crucial as they offer the
functionalities that apps use for advanced
operations
Key Libraries:

and screen compositing, ensuring smooth
transitions and animations.
• Media Framework: Handles audio, video, and
image processing, enabling multimedia features
in apps.

database engine for storing structured data
within applications.
• WebKit: Renders HTML content, allowing apps to
display web pages.
• SSL and SGL: Ensure secure internet
connections and graphics rendering.

Within an Android project structure, the most
frequently edited folders are:
1. AndroidManifest.xml: The manifest file is an
important part of our app because it defines the
structure and metadata of our application, its
components, and its requirements.
2. Java: The Java folder contains the Java source
code files. These files are used as a controller for
controlled UI (Layout file). It gets the data from the
Layout file and after processing that data output will
be shown in the UI layout. It works on the backend of
an Android application.
3. drawable: A Drawable folder contains resource
